My phone screensaver.

Read more, kids. Find the light within.

How can you NOT be inspired to learn more?

Harsh. Not the most expensive I'll admit but they go well with my pink socks. My wife's Merrell Gore Tex Continuums cost over a hunner badger. They're good though.

These two were taken within 20 seconds of each other. The change of stone colour must have been divine intervention. Funny thing was, I never noticed the change at the time. Only in the pictures later.

Correct. Parc Guell was brilliant and Sagrada Familia incredible. I was annoyed that I hadn't been recommended Gaudi. Mind blowing.

Alpha Omega

Clue. I also visited here in the same city: - Name the commonality.

I took this pic last week: - Anyone recognise this, part of a particularly awesome wonder of the world?

Agreed. I showed that one to the scientettes: -

Thanks for that. Some uplifting brilliance. I'm going to do this one at home. This first one is class: -

Milne was asked this question more than THREE YEARS AGO at the 2008 AGM: - He didn't have a clue then and I'm not sure that he has a clue now. If he has secured funding for 80% of the new stadium and that the remaining 20% is the tough part, why doesn't he reveal how these supposed percentages stack up? Why should we trust him after what he's done for us both on and off the pitch? When pushed to respond in specifics, Milne admitted in December 2008 that additional funds would have to come from existing shareholders. Now he's saying that the shortfall has to come from existing shareholders, new shareholders and the private sector. This is more than three years after the feasibility study was first started, three years after admitting that there was a shortfall in the finances for the proposed stadium and to my knowledge, not one source of additional funding has been revealed. We can only assume that it's all lies and spin in his rhetoric in today's P & J. My bet is that the 80% he talks about is simply the liquidation of Pittodrie and the lined up new debt facility.

Did the coffins get ANY publicity at all? Anyone see any of the tabloids today?

This from Chrichton is the best summation: - "AFC'S decision makers have driven so far up the cul-de-sac the only way out is steamrolling Pittodrie" Whilst this much is fact, what is debatable and speculative and contestable are the reasons. Some might say the situation we find ourselves in is an unfortunate circumstance, the result of adverse economic conditions. Others might say that the present was deliberately engineered in the past.

Usual AGM by the sounds of it. Nobody asks anything challenging. Milne wraps it up. Very disappointing that the coffins didn't make North Tonight. Are the press scared of Milne like the shareholders are? We should trust him. He's a Dons fan. He has our football club in his heart. He never lied to us. Those allegations under Freedom of Information must be lies or a gross mistake. That would be stealing directly from the City and therefore directly from us. We don't care. Have it Stewrat. It's all yours.

Aitken was on the stage at the infamous Capitol AGM. The one where Ian Donald told us about Klinsman. The one where Milne was introduced in public for the first time as a board member. The one where Milne said that "the product" would always be the priority. History has passed. Scholars may debate the motives engaged by Milne when he said that and the sincerity of those words at the time, given subsequent stewratship.

A load o black coffins in and around Aberdeen the day before the AGM may make it interesting....

Absolutely Fucking Class. The people behind this deserve recognition for this phenomenal initiative. I suggest free ST's for the brains and the brawn behind this. For life.

This is a little bit inspiring. Who is behind it? Who are the main men?
