    I find one of the funniest things in Private Eye is the letters from gammons cancelling their subscription because they're objecting to satire in a satirical magazine. 

    They only read the cartoons. Bet the real reason the auld duffers cancelled is because their order from the Christmas Gnome Market didn't arrive.

  2. With the Greens having gone public about their vote to end power-sharing and having seen their conference after being punted, is there not an argument that Yousaf is showing strong leadership? The opposition call of no-confidence in a "weak" Yousaf couldn't just be shallow politics and opportunism, could it?

  3. For a Party that was at the top table of decision making and in, I suppose, a position of influencing the direction of travel by reasoned and intelligent argument, debate,  and professionalism, the co-leaders don't half come over as whining, out of their depth, angry and petulant weans in that conference.

    It's absolutely nuts that fascists are determined to turn a patron saint's day into a hatefest.

    Is there honestly any other country in the world that carries on like this?

    And ironically on the same day Sunak and the government put £75 billion into the defence industry to put the UK on a "war footing". 

  5. I'll be honest here and say I was excited when McKinnon was brought in. I thought, wrongly, his experience, skill-set, and contacts would result in a strong re-build of the team. Well, clearly that hasn't worked and what's currently on show is something just short of disastrous. For me the final straw was the delusional post-match interview when he said some outrageous stuff, "there's nothing between us and the top of the league" ffs, which is nothing short of taking us all for idiots. I'm not sure what calibre of player could possibly be eyeing up Forfar as a good career move - especially if rumours about at least one player being keen to leave is true. That we're stuck with Ray McKinnon for next season is a huge worry. His standing within football circles will surely have taken a hit here. Unless turgid, boring, no invention is the norm, of course. But the likes of Stenhousemuir and their set up argues against that. What next? Clearly he's here until the end of the season. That gives the Directors some time to offer a) an apology to all the fans & sponsors for a dismal state of affairs of their making and b) a plan for the way ahead to offer survival from what might well be in the years ahead, a drop into the HL. Grim stuff all round.

    Well done Stenny, very well deserved. Hopefully you can go on and have good crack at League 1 next season.

    A decent bunch of posters that will be missed from this graveyard of a forum.

    Hilarious to hear the auld farmers shouting throughout. "C'man Farfir!"

    Graveyard of a forum? This is top banter 👏👏.

    Dissertations for postgrads run from May to August.

    Back to work today to 6 emails from students. All six want to go to India for the entire month of June. Four need the month for their weddings. Can I give permission, for visa reasons?

    Long answers given. Short answer: no.
