  1. Is that Kavanagh arguing for 'freedom through work' in that last paragraph? About right for a man who wrote a column in 2017 that Sean O'Grady (The Independent) said had language reminiscent of Nazi propaganda. A thoroughly odious man in Murdoch's pocket.
  2. Never expected that result. Thanks very Mutch, lads.
  3. What is it about Angus and dense Tories? We thought Kirstene as MP might be a low point but "Hold my beer" says would be MSP, the councillor Braden Davy.Top skills here, Braden.
  4. Spiffing stuff, Tobes, old boy. 'All of which has left me feeling like an angry, red-faced gammon. Up until now, I haven’t minded subsidising our lower-income neighbours, even though they’ve never exhibited the slightest flicker of gratitude." 'Gratitude'
  5. That sounds like the perfect situation. Use the time off to get the degree and you're in the position of having a new set of skills alongside your existing ones - and you'll still be getting paid in your current job. It'll open many different ways forward and would mean a really strong CV. Just go for it! As an aside, a pal (45) was scared about doing something similar and said that after doing a 5 year part time degree he'd be 50. I asked what age he'd be in 5 years if he didn't.
  6. Nothing to worry about. It's just off to a George Clinton soul and funk all-nighter.
  7. Crampons, worn by mountaineers when ice and snow climbing, were first used by the Sherpa peoples of Tibet from as early as the 17th century. In the Sherpa language the word crampon means "stick the boot in". Up until crowds were stopped from attending football games, crampon could still occasionally be heard being shouted at some fixtures, usually derby games. Linguists fear the word might disappear completely from the rich language of football.
  8. I thought his physical comedy was a good partner to Seinfeld's lines. His disgraceful racist outburst years back is inexcusable.
  9. Mum, there's a man at the door with a bill. Don't be daft. It'll be a duck in a coat.
  10. The grey rodent is a typical coloniser trying to take control of place by fair means of foul. They strip the natural resources, well they eat the bark of native trees, evidently. Like their American two-leggers who killed Native Americans with blankets carrying smallpox, they try to eradicate their red neighbours with a pox. Damn the Grey, long live the Red. And the best squirrel is without a doubt Secret Squirrel.
  11. The media is, of course, more than just TV. There's already a thriving advertising industry, Scotland is a great draw for film companies, newspapers would still exist but with a Scottish outlook, Scottish cinema does exist, and I'm sure an independent Scotland would be able to offer financial incentives for more inward investment. There are enough highly trained technicians to have an independent Scottish TV and radio operation free from the London-centric BBC. Would you not, as a centrist thinker who currently feels ok with the status quo, not admit even grudgingly, that an independent Scotland could confront the problems that would arise and manage to come up with something better than what's unfolding via Westminster at the moment?
  12. Tier 1 - A tradesperson can still enter and clear a blockage. Tier 2 - A tradesperson can still enter, but only by the rear entrance. Tier 3 - A tradesperson can enter but must sterilise any tool before a thorough plunging.
  13. There's a few smashing sculptures at Stonehaven by Jim Malcolm, the Stoney Banksy. There's also a seal, a lighthouse and a biplane and other great works.
  14. I think we need Todd to get this information into a Pi Chart.
  15. That look tells me Adolf is just about to add "fatties that don't keep their boots clean" to the list.
