All Activity

Most folk of the religious persuasion that I know are the biggest c*nts agoing. Used to work for a family of Jehovas Witnesses many moons ago. What a bunch of crooks they were. Just a form of freemasonry in my opinion.

Do the minutes record whether they all went to the chipper to celebrate afterwards?

A Heritage Trust plaque on Correction Wynd commemorates the location of the meeting and agreement between all three clubs to amalgamate. I believe a management consultant was present, whose advice to the suits: “a key performance indicator should be set to commit the club to win a European trophy by the end of its 80th anniversary year” was ignored. The official minute verifies that this drew the unanimous comment, “Awa min, ye radge min”.

I thought 'yet Iran has the strait' was a nice reply to JD Vances 'we hold all the cards' comment.

It's all the same to me

Years since I listened to this album. Still sounds superb, all these years on

I don't believe that's specific to US Christians though. I'd argue that the entire religion is founded on the antithesis of Christ, with the writings of Paul, specifically, appearing to bear no relation to the actions and words attributed to the big guy. I'm sure Paul was a great lad, but he seems to have got it all wrong.

I used to go on a Bruce Springsteen fan board. This guy, a Sceptic, was one of these outwardly nice guys. Kept bumping his gums about his church activities ....charitable giving etc. But he used to give it large with some seriously toxic socio-political views. He'd basically put up with anything any government did as long as his taxes were low (though never low enough as that would be zero).

'Murican 'Christians' are a weird bunch. They espouse an ethos so contrary to Big J's that it is hard to think they haven't named themselves ironically.

Not sure but theres got to be some benefits when it comes to jobs. Do you get unemployed Mormons? All the ones I know cut about in range rovers

My experience was more middle-class suburbia and that seemed mostly about "donating" large (tax deductible) sums to tax-exempt religious organisations and being rewarded in return with jobs, contracts, business opportunities, etc. Social capital you could say.

What are the tax and financial benefits of being a bible basher in the USA?

No chance this is the out. "Proper Christians" love the Iran war. It'll blow over in a day.

Surprising to me that's the thing that's finally having an impact. My experience of living there was that most people who go to church do so for the financial/tax/social/networking opportunities more than anything. I guess this gives people the "out" they have been secretly craving, cognisant that no-one will believe they suddenly actually care about the poor/minorities.

8 goals in the last 6 home games is good form for Nisbet. Need a few others to start chipping/chipper/chippie in though.

It’s very strange what Americans will & won’t put up with. My big match prediction of him being gone by the end of summer is looking good. He’s unraveling too quickly

Well, since you ask.... which election in recent times should I have given a fuck about? Really, I mean? Not just pretendy attachment of importance to make it sound like I care. Are any of us really going to know the difference between Orban being in power in Hungary, or his counterpart? The last UK election was "fought" on the inspiring idea of giving the incumbent party a bloody nose for a decade. Which nation and its shining example should make me, or anyone else, think that representative democracy is a successful system (trite, reductive Churchill quotes aside)? Even the Scottish elections, more egalitarian and closer to home as they are, hold about the importance of this season's player of the year if we're being honest about it.

Just watched the highlights from Saturday. That was a great finish by Nisbet for the second. The touch he took on his left, to tee it up on his right for the shot, superb.

It appears the orange gimp has went too far, depicting himself as Jesus. If it wasn't so serious, this Trump presidency could have been the best political satire ever.

Edgy.

McInnes overthinking the conversation and deciding to make changes that devalue the experience - surely not?

Yes they have. They covered the result in the last Polish election for example. It's unusual for a European leader to be in place for 16 years, too, so it is reasonably interesting. I think that they should give Eastern European elections as much coverage as French or German. A reasonable amount, but nae overboard. Edit: not that I give a shite about any election really. For the avoidance of doubt, I'm giving an objective point of view on the state broadcaster and what would seem to be reasonable.

Turned out it was one of their best gigs too. Oh well, you win some, lose some.
