Sauv Blanc from NZ never disappoints. On Chianti Classico masel, soon to be followed by an Oak Cross, a new whisky introduced to me last week. So good.

You don't want to spend time in Gibraltar. Major shit hole.

Far too intelligent and proactive a letter. The board will shit themselves at that. They'll react to it and go through the motions of being accommodating but they'll hate it. Therein lies the problem. The board (Milne) and the fans don't share the same agenda. This is John Stephen and AFCST all over again. Stewrat Milne is a cunt.

Sorry dude. Love ya really. Sledgehammer to crack nuts and all that. In another 20 or 30 or 40 years, I may eventually learn subtlety and diplomacy. It will be too late I fear.

That looks fucking shite. Far too much rice. Carb overload. And that weird green thing that's all the rage these days is a shit vegetable. Try Rioja the next time. It's nae bad

I'm sure there may have been valid arguments for those AFC players not getting more caps, mainly that their opposition for places were playing at bigger and better clubs in England back then. And yes, most clubs' fans will feel the same. Interestingly, the same driver behind nationalism is what compels people to support a football team, the sense of belonging, ancient tribalism instincts.

That's a bit too sellic paranovia for me. I can't recall one Aberdeen player being good enough but being discriminated against. I'm sure you could point out that he was better than him etc. and you will no doubt be right but in terms of international class, we are just comparing one shit footballer with another. The bigger problem isn't discrimination. There's no "AFC player prejudice" going on.

Guys, you're right. When I say I don't give a fuck about the national team, well I kinda do. I haven't been back to a game since the Dam ArenA 6-0 and I loved France 98, where fortunately I was only at the first two games and I never fail to watch them on the telly. But they are so bad, under so many totally inept managers, it's not even shame or embarrassment anymore. And I don't see the rocket scientist Malky Mackay making any damn difference whatsoever. But do I care if they get beat? No. It's because I expect them to. The reason for the decline of the national team and the game in Scotland is obvious but nae cunt gives a fuck enough to fix it, or attempt to fix it I should have said because it's now a job that may well be impossible.

#Nips & Tatties Your love of Scotland is paradoxical and a diametric opposite of my situation. I can live anywhere in the world, have lived abroad for 15 years but I choose to live here in the NE. And I don't give a fuck about the national team. Only tabloid readers and the like feel great patriotism to the extent that they wear it as a badge of honour. Jingoism and nationalism are diseases reserved for the non-thinking classes in my experience.

You're right. If we didn't care, we wouldn't be talking about it and we wouldn't be going to games. The saddest aspect for me is unfulfilled potential. 43,000 of us turned up at the red Parkhead. There is a latent support base but for the whole time Milne has been in charge, despite never owning more than 28% of the shares, he's slowly killing the club. His agenda isn't pure. He's not after the same things that we are. The missing thousands are staying away because there's been nothing positive to win them back. Yes we know there are thrawn and dour folk in the NE but there are shit people everywhere. I don't get those who hate on the Aberdeen personality. We have way more positives than negatives overall, parochialism being the worst trait and even then, the origin of this is well known and understandable.

I totally agree that the signs were on the wall a long time before these last 3 weeks. In fact, I would go back further by a couple of months or so. From an incredible winning start to the 2015/16 season, we went to Easter Road, capitulated badly there and then got only 1 point in the next 6 or 7 matches. It was clear that something had changed and whilst we could discount the wild allegations being bandied about, there was no doubt that the appetite of the player's had changed and all of a sudden they weren't playing as a cohesive unit. Then the final v. Celtic last month was as abject a performance as it was surprising, followed up by more total shite at Ibrox. In my opinion, it was the insane team selections that was the root cause. Any player with half a brain must be thinking - WTF are you doing, manager? McInnes's hold on the dressing room is fragile. His list of failings is long. He's just not very good at his job. He may or may not have lost this dressing room but he's definitely fucked our whole season.

Nope. Not even for the novelty factor. I telt ye we all had prejudices.

Why does she have to look so vacuous? And I can hardly thinking that stilettos would be comfortable in bed, nor very practical actually.

Yeah I'd do her. Would walk from Old Aberdeen to Marischal College if she's waiting for it at the other end.

Different strokes, different folks, skinning a cat, variety is the greatest spice and getting the job done. The best way to look after oneself is to get others to look after you. And the only way they will is if you look after them first. This is not a formula or a recipe, it just happens naturally. For mentally healthy people. Therein lies the rub. Almost everybody lacks complete mental health. We all have prejudices and prejudgements to varying degrees. With so many beautiful women and so much love to give, the "all me kinda man" just needs to be discreet.

It can't be that fabulous if you couldn't be arsed with it. Trust me, "fans" who know the game are more valuable than those who don't.

What job title did they gie ye? Optometrist Assistant? Eyeglass specialist? Spec Saver?

"Normal bloke"? Define. Just funning wi ye. Well, trying to educate you actually. Pointing out the error of your ways.

Aye good on him. He's a good cunt. But a mass sleepover? Fuck sake. Would've geen him a few quid if he done it authentic.

Lol. You said wot I wuz hinkin. Canna beat a bit o talk aboot canny lingering.

The debate on Syria in the House of Commons in the light of what's happened in Aleppo has been unreal. I mean that literally. These politicians are not real, not of this earth. They can't all be in on it therefore I conclude that the majority are extremely stupid, an unfortunate state of affairs given their role in UK society. Their stupidity is either in failing to diversify their sources of information from beyond what is fed to the masses via the mainstream presstitute media or in believing what they're being told without questioning and therefore possessing an alarming lack of critical thinking abilities. The last thing the US need is peace in Syria and we as their lapdogs are convincing ourselves of gross untruths and lies.

There's that many yanks in Britain who make it viable? Why would a Brit give a fuck about a sport he's never played or never will? Ok the once to see what the fuss is about I guess but I'm amazed they can sell seats for this.
