  14. All depends on how you voted as to whether things will be good, bad or indifferent. Either way the aftermath from this whole episode is going to last for best part of 10 years I say. Every time something goes wrong I have no doubt someone will pipe up with ' well if we had all voted <insert Yes or No> then this would never have happened. For me personally the really interesting part is seeing how the rest of the UK will react. Allegations of voting fraud in Glasgow - 10 separate votes in different polling stations
  15. Thankfully 'Live & Let Die' is on ITV4
  16. Re-reading this the following image suddenly flashed into my mind Bedroom tax is a devolved power. There is also no guarantee the Tories will be in power next June and UKIP? Aye right!! State pensions as everyone imagines them are doomed because they were created when average life expectancy was 70 at best. If you think any government can guarantee they won't be cut without increasing income tax I say you are deluded Benefits wise I can't recall anything about this in either campaign but see my comment about pensions. Getting a job isn't the problem. Getting a job that allows you to live is. Being made redundant and being sacked are not the same thing. If you are ever unfortunate enough to be made redundant and decide to sue your former employers please keep me informed as to how it pans out.
  17. I believe the average prescription cost to the NHS (Scotland at least) is about £4 per item. So when you are prescribed standard paracetamol, ibuprofen or similar which can be picked up from the supermarket for about 50p per pack you happily get them free from your chemist while £3.50 disappears from the NHS budget. Free prescriptions are all fine and well but they are taking the piss in some cases and I cannot help but wonder if there is a direct link with the demise with the standards in certain hospitals or the fact you sometimes find your next available GP appointment is 3 weeks away? I have no objections with Diabetics, Asthmatics, or other long term/ permanent conditions having free or at least reduced costs for their meds but anti-biotics for a sniffle or a bug? There are people in my office who appear to be ill 52 weeks a year and chucking down their free meds from the doctor without getting any better. Dare to suggest they might want to look at their lifestyle for a cure and yer suddenly a monster. Like it or not the Health service is a business and to suddenly remove a large chunk of your funding without finding an alternative source is going to result in cost savings. I will happily pay for my prescriptions if it means there are a few extra nurses/ doctors around and my local A & E or maternity unit stays open. I'll happily pay extra taxes if it results in the same thing but the default position for any politician with serious aspirations for power is to wheel out the 'we'll cut taxes' to the point when everything either shuts down or is privatised.

  19. Yon liverpool keeper must be very relieved his Bulgarian opposite number decided to play Fuck up top trumps. Also interesting comment from old Willie on Sportsound. An apparent clear foul on a Caley player by Ian Black from which Sevco nearly scored a second goal in a counter attack. 'I wonder if the ref blanked it because otherwise he would have had to get the old yellow card out and that would have been blacks second?'
  20. This could be interesting http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/29197915
  21. From being the 2nd best defence in the league last season I am awfully concerned that every goal I hear scored on the radio seems to be followed by 'Poor Defending from the Dons!' Least there is plenty of time to comeback......or alternatively plenty of time to get worse
  22. BBC saying they sold about 15660000 (minimum required was 15000000) Daily muppet were speculating that Ashley was planning to sell Newcastle utd so he could invest more money down Ibrox way.
  23. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/29164336 I wonder if those 1500 are season ticket holders? If so a boycott pretty much achieves next to fuck all. If they aren't then boycotting one game will achieve next to fuck all. Boycotting for the rest of the season on the other hand..... probably fuck all but would make it a bit more interesting (Average home attendance so far this season apparently just over 27000)
