Gaz Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Can anyone recommend a hotel in Dingwall where four guys can get a room on a Sunday evening for a reasonable price? Or two rooms if needs be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Can someone provide with a website that has a breakdown of how the Scottish Parliament is funded? As in where they get their money for all the projects and services they have to provide to the country. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in where they get their money for all the projects and services they have to provide to the country. Its a block grant from Westminster. Our Unionist masters tell us how much pocket money we get this year, and we then spend it. Any money that our spending generates then goes back to Westminster, and we hope that we will get some of it back if we behave. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, in this essay I can't quote "Prominent SNP supporter xbl aff Pie and Bovril" as a reliable source however much I may want to. You can maybe answer this for me, I assume the government also gets funding from other very small means, however, the block grant is the main form of funding. If I was to put the following as an opening statement "The vast majority of the Scottish Government's funding comes from Westminster in the form of a block grant" would I have to provide a source for that or is it accepted as common knowledge? Ugh, It'd be fine if tutors would reply as quickly as I wanted to 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't you just think of some childish xenophobic drivel about you not liking the English and put in your sig instead of trotting out similar to this peurile mantra across a plethora of threads? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no idea, but mention that they have the power to vary income tax by 3% either way, which gives them the potential to raise more funds for themselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A power not yet used despite its obvious potential either to attract more start-up business or to soften public spending cuts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't raise it to try and claw back money, though, as it that it would probably be quite unpopular. Talking of tax - I think now would have been a great time for Cameron to stick the knife into Salmond and invoke the Calman recomendations that Scotland should raise half of its own tax revenues. Bring in the 10% from Westminster, and then let the SNP decided whether or not to take the cuts on the chin and apply a 10% tax therefore keeping the overal income rate at 20%, or else risk unpopular tax rises to get round the cuts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowden til i die Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Do non-Old Firm fans actually care about said match? I honestly couldnt get a f**k who wins and wont watch a single minute of the game or any highlights. I genuinely have no interest in this game at all. All it does is bring the idiots out in the boozer who will look to cause trouble. Old Firm weekends top up my hate for the 2 of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least you'll be working during the game and with any luck, most of the fans will have buggered off home by the time you go to the pub. For me I'll be far more interested in watching the stoke/man u game instead. I quite fancy an upset here... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drunken idiot 'so who do you support, Rangers or Celtic?' Piss off. True, but there are people who pretend too hard to hate the OF to an exaggerated extent or won't(not can't) give a random prediction by as follows:- Random OF fan asks a neutral: 'What do you think the score will be?' Random OF-hating wannabe: YAWWWNNN!!! I DONT CARE!! LOOK AT ME!! I'M ANTI-OF!! Woop-de-fucking-doo, just say a fucking scoreline so we can move on to a more meaningful conversation instead of starting a pointless argument with an OF fan. At least that's the kind of people I deal with at my work... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
