Michael W Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Seen a group of around 100-150 people protesting about the Greek situation whilst I was in Edinburgh today. Around 10-15 police officers were there to keep them in check rather than preventing some proper crime. f**k off you sad c***s, like you're pathetic wee protest will achieve anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll acheive as mush as your Conservative vote in Fife or my SNP vote in Glasgow. Both of which, by the way, will require a police prescence at the polls. Are you or I sad c***s for exercising our democratic right as well? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saints1884 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I now have an image of the housebound Glaswegian woman on "The Secret Millionaire" who had more facial hair than a member of ZZ Top and who's flat stunk of pish.Thanks. Happy to help. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they cared that much, how about they go to Greece and protest about it. And no, I fail to see what an election has to do with protesting about events abroad. On the other hand, you might just find you're SNP vote might achieve something given the state Labour have left us in.

Plenty of people outwith the USA protested again the Vietnam War, for example. The fact the events in question are taking place abroad is irrelevant. I'm guessing that the either outside the Greek Consulate, or was intended to head in that direction. As a means of protesting against their government, that's entirely appropriate, as far as I'm concerned. I suspect that the protest will have no effect on the Greek government, just as my SNP vote in the Glasgow South constituency will have little effect on the destination of that seat. That's why I drew that comparison. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no idea where the Greek Consulate is, but they walked down the bridges then stood outside opposite The Balmoral. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HGG Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I'm going to be in my bed by 8pm tonight I reckon. Absolutely exhausted. I'm the same! Hmm decisions decisions........ I just decided. Phoned a decent Indian place I'd forgotten about on the other side of town. Asked if they deliver to my area to be told in a friendly manner "of course we do!". The nice man also helped me with my indecisiveness over what to order and then told me in typical Rochdale fashion that I was being greedy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrowhillclyde Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I had an Indian Meal in a wee (somewhat grubby) Indian place in County Place in Perth today. It was pretty good. Unfortunately I was driving, so didnt get to drink like everyone else. No dinner tonight though, just not hungry enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My appetite's knackered with being ill this week. Still, plenty left for tomorrow now. My mum's bringing me soup and Irn Bru as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you know that no parliamentary seat has ever been tied or won by only one vote, therefore nobody's vote in any seat has ever been decisive. What I'm saying is, nobody's vote ever mattered! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm quite lucid regarding politics, football, snooker, swimming, decent vodka and (embarassingly) teapots. This was merely an attempt to make me feel inferior. Not going back there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should have scissor kicked him in the gonads and asked how he liked that for a centre parting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
