  1. BBC reporting Bill Miller has just withdrawn his bid
  2. Don't see it I'm afraid
  3. Same Masochistic tendency that still sees me occasionally turn up at Dons games. Raised in Kennedy land. I point blank refuse to ever vote for the Tories, Labour, or UKIP. The socialists contradicted themselves in their manifesto The christian party pledged to breed hate The union party pledges didnt add up for me No idea what 'Glasgow First' were going to do but I suspect it was to prioritise the city at the expense of the country as a whole so no deal.
  4. Charlie Mulgrew named player of the year James Forrest named young player of the year At least Derek Adams took Manager of the year ahead of Lennon
  5. Danny Alexander is extremely unpopular up north (almost loathed if you speak to certain folk). If the seats merge then Kennedy is off and the SNP will walk into the Highlands at the next general election
  6. Same for me. People behind the desks looked almost panicky when myself and an elderly couple walked in at the same time.
  7. yep it would appear 3 of the people i stuck down on the ballot got a seat. Should have twigged that 'scotland for marriage' was in fact 'the christian party' The deathnail of the lib dems in scotland will be if Charles kennedy retires from 'Ross, Skye & Lochaber' and heads to the house of lords. Without him they will automatically lose the Highlands at the next General Election which could mean they go 4th behind the tories
  8. Lib dem, green and the 2 SNP blokes got my votes (not revealing the order) The only leaflets I had through the door were from the Tories, The Union party and 'scotland for marriage' - PR really does let some fuckwits start a party. I was handed a leaflet by the socialists outside Partick station and a lib dem reluctantly handed me one outside the polling station (all too happy to hand it to the pensioners in front of me but apparenlty he didnt think I was worth it ) It appears my votes had no bearing on the result since Labour once again romped to victory in Glasgow.

    The lack of tarmaced drives and custom made suits?
  10. Cant comment on your experience Dave but during my final year of uni I was wandering the corridors looking at the final presentations of the 1st & 2nd years. The tutors etc were bragging on about how proud they were and yet all I saw was laziness and severe lack of effort from both parties. That was in the space of 4 years so either we were something special or they lowered the bar drastically. In the cold light of day I think my degree certainly wasnt worth the hassle and stress it caused. it all started going downhill when they brought in this tuition fee malarky. I believe pre 1998 you were subject to more strenous interviews or maybe even had to follow the yankee example and had to write essays saying why they should take you because the Unis were only given a certain amount of cash and had to show proper results at the end of it. Now its all about how many students you can get £2000 - £9000 a year out of and results have taken a back step. My course was meant to have a total of 15 places. They let in 35. The other section was meant to have 50 places but they let in 90. I cant believe that was the only one. However I have a slight prejudice to any degrees that arent essentially job titles. Doesnt matter when you got them, yer all a waste of space And anyone who says they are 'reading' a subject is a fuckwit IMO
  11. Nah Motherwell wont at both Ibrox and fir park Hibs only managed a win and a draw at Easter Road
  12. Trip to champions league chasing Newcastle and then finishing up at home against relegation battling QPR as opposed to Man Us home match against Swansea and finishing away to Sunderland - 2 teams who have little other than pride to play for This is far from over
  13. Its a nice 'black & white' view of how things would have turned out but doesnt take into account the human factor Any team in that period of time could have been on a good run then unfortunatley had to go to ibrox and been on the end of a shite result which knocked them off the rails and allowed us or the Tic etc to pull clear. This is why im optimistic that should yon currants vanish within a few seasons celtic would be knocked off their high horse because they wouldnt have their friends across town to trip them up
  14. is she married to Szcz?sny? Or are you suggesting that he would jump ship from North London because one of his fellow countryman now works in a north east Supermarket?
  15. West Brom allowing the FA to speak to Roy Hodgson
  16. Point out the exact moment in yon clip where Renton says 'scotland is shite'
  17. Mulgrew starting the onslaught at parkhead? thats 15 mins in but I havent heard David Begg mention any protests from the Ibrox Loyal
  18. Send yer invoice to the roads department, the residents of Pittodrie street, Pittodrie place, merkland road & merkland lane, the golf Clubs on Golf Road, Scottish water and many others. While yer at if if you can send an invoice to Messrs D Copperfield, T Cooper, Seigried & Roy, Merlin, & Gandalf who will then magic up the estimated 50-60million to build that
