Are you saying that we don't pay £350m a week to the EU?

Righting a wrong is right and writing writing in that context is wrong. The human being has a choice how to react. Some are grateful for the education. Most are embarrassed by their ignorance, which is silly because we are all ignorant of everything until we learn it. Therefore, most human beings are wanks. That's like the joke about the Irishman learning logical deduction from a master and concluding that all men who don't own goldfish masturbate.

Brilliant goal, started and finished by him. Great teamwork.

£45 a year for a dozen or so years. Worse, I paid fees to a professional association I had no intention of returning to for FIFTEEN years until I finally woke up in 2001. Intelligence comes in many different guises. I'm a spastic at many things but I can pass a stupid wee test or got lucky with the multi choice answers once upon a time.

I sat the Mensa test 25 years ago. There was an advert in the P & J and I was curious so went along to the Station Hotel and endured a gruelling two hour test. It wasn't the subjects and the test that was hard. It was the fact we only had two hours to complete it and many after complained they never got near the end of it. That's just shit time management on their part but the fact that many/most/all (can't remember) of the questions had a multi choice option totally devalued it for me. I ended up getting a much higher score than Lamps and paid my £45 p.a. to become a member until after £500+ down, I realised it was a complete waste of time. I had never attended a meeting, had no intention of going so I was paying for a monthly magazine that was shit. Before I jacked it (I got an e-mail last week from Mensa trying to get me to pay them again), I went to Wagamamas in Union Square to attend this lunch gathering at 12 noon, having emailed my intention to do so. One look in the window and it was screamingly obvious who the Mensa cats were. My fixed mindset, my preconceptions and my instinct kicked in and I never went in. Fucking geeks united by nothing other than "passing" a multichoice "test".

I would've been totally underwhelmed by the news of Greg Stewart returning but for his performances at Killie. He never showed he was that good with us, even though many of you were excited by his first coming based on his performances at Dundee. This is an excellent move, as is getting Lowe back. Good work McInnes. Credit where it's due

I'm not saying Lampard is a fool. I'm saying he's a fud though. His ingratiating himself to the fans after the pens reminded me of Ronnie Deila. After mere weeks in management, either he or he's been convinced by his (many) backroom staff that Lowe's not ready. I don't think Max has been given a fair crack of that whip. And 140-150 isn't exactly Mensa level.

Oh dear. Another who trusts Theresa and Call me Dave and Tony Blair. Another who thinks he knows best. What return does EVERY European nation get from the money we pay in? What added value do Barnier and Juncker and the thousands of unelected officials provide? Is £50,000,000 a day from the U.K. alone a good investment? We voted to go in fifty years ago but we're not allowed to vote out? You should do your own research and find out what role the unelected cunts have in the globalist hegemony project. Then speak to the people of Greece, Italy, Spain and France. Not the corrupt leaders but the people. The EU doesn't work for the people. It's an ideal and an experiment that has failed, having been hijacked by the worst reptilian specimens ever to have breathed the same air as the people of Europe.

I only watched the first half. I don't read other forums but whatever the Derby fans were saying, it doesn't alter the facts. The FACTS are that Max Lowe didn't once get "roasted" by anyone. Leeds didn't create a single threat down their right wing. His only errors for the whole of the first half were three misplaced passes when he was attacking and even though a couple of them were shockers (but out of play in the Leeds half so no danger), they were no worse than the rest of the team who were collectively awful at finding their man, as the stats would no doubt prove. The best Derby chance of the first half came from some brilliant play by Lowe but the striker was so shit he couldn't control the great pass to him despite acres of space in the box. There's something else going on. Lampard doesn't fancy him perhaps or doesn't think he's ready yet. I guess with all his management experience, he would know. He may well have had a bad second half but that night they were shite and well beaten by the better team, and Leeds were hardly impressive themselves. Thick cunts like to use scapegoats and Max may well be it. Is it cos he is black? Just joking. Even though Frank senior is/was a dinosaur cockney and the majority of that ilk are Alf Garnetts, that was a black herring in amongst my presentation of facts and speculations. But did you see the manager after they beat Southampton on pens? What a fud. Delighted to have a player of Lowe's quality at AFC again but it has its yang. It means Shinnie won't be deployed in his best position and it further guarantees that we don't have a chance of winning the SPFL in May. No team ever won the league with such an ineffective midfield as we've got.

You keep on repeating this but it's not true. The first half of his last game, he was sharp and the opposition got nothing going down their right wing. Max also created the best chance of the first half, almost single-handedly.

So your objection is that we were allowed to vote at all? Because the cunts we voted to represent us know best? Is that what you're saying and what you mean by "representative democracy"?

Now I'm confused. The first line of wot I wroted that you agreed with was "it was the most RELEVANT and decisive expression of democracy..." and yet the first part of your post said that the vote was IRRELEVANT (for reasons you gave that I don't understand). What is it that you're saying? Cos I sure as hell don't know? And why use 23 words when 11 will do? Summarise it. I'm not having a go at you here Rico, "I respect you an all" (Vincent to Jools) and I think we might be on the same page (rare use of italics there, see?) but we're seeing different texts. This line however is pretty frightening: - It is a foundation of the democratic ideal - itself just a lie and a philosophical pretext since hijacked by the xxxx - that the people vote and that our will is carried out. The referendum was very simple. Either leave the EU or stay in it. Just because May is an incompetent evil witch with a party full of yes men arselickers (as it always attracts throughout history), unable to negotiate anything (because you need personality and charm to get to a win/win situation) and presenting a shambles of a "deal" that nobody wants (not even many of her hoop-tonguers) and nobody voted for, this doesn't mean that the people don't want out of the EU. If project fear works - as it probably will, again - then any second referendum is bound to go the way the Tories wanted it too all along! This misses the whole point. It is less government we need, not more and with an extra £50,000,000 a day, the UK can do a lot better on its own. We love the people of Europe. We do business with them. We holiday amongst them. And vice versa. It's the unelected politicians we don't trust and the system they prop up, the ECB and the IMF being the most evil and corrupt of them all. The biggest tragedy right now is the uncertainty facing the great people we have in this country who came from Europe and who have no idea what's going to happen to them in 2.5 months time. This alone is a symptom that caring about people doesn't exist in the list of priorities of the ruling elites, them only being interested in helping their public school friends and their Oxford associates. Nicola Sturgeon and the Scottish people are fucking idiots. She may or may not be using the Brexit ref strictly for political gain (but I suspect not unfortunately) but there's no denying that the Scots 1. voted against independence, 2. voted remain, and most embarrassingly for us, 3. returned TORY MP's in the North East. It's a right shambles right enough. Fuck me, two grown men can't even communicate with one another effectively using the same language (both our faults, no doubt).

Give Murray his due, he's been slagging the LTA again, as reported on the BBC today. Amazing to think tennis participation has declined over the last 10 years in the UK despite Murray's achievements and him becoming the best ever from this country.

You're right that I'm not a tennis fan and my only interest in this subject, one that was headline news, both his news conference on Friday and his first round defeat is the amount of insatiable interest the UK has in him. The dog died was not a reference to his career ending. It was the last line of the Chewing the Fat sketches which took the piss out of his personality, this being what satirists do and what comedy does. Some of us don't get the excessive adulation and hero worship of a guy who was never going to overtake Federer, Djokovic and Nadal and is someone we wouldn't want to break bread with, coming across as a morose greeting-faced bairny mummy's boy as he does (to us non believers). Great to hear Westburn Park investing in facilities. It'll never be a sport for me but good to hear other folk getting off their arse and doing something, even though tennis is played by less than a fraction of a per cent.

When I say "ruin the lives of the vast majority", I include you and I. Just because "I'm all right Jack" and we run our own businesses and can live in nice houses, drive expensive cars and stay in nice places, buying whatever we want when we want it, think about the world our grandchildren will live in?

You've swallowed too much spin. You're talking in the language of the politicians and the media. The vote to leave wasn't "irrelevant". It was the most relevant and decisive expression of democracy, one that hopefully can lead to wholesale change and the destruction of the corrupt globalist systems that ruin not just the lives of the vast majority but the planet that we all inhabit. I'm not naive enough to think that revolution is possible. The people don't have enough knowledge nor fight within them. They sleepwalk into the future and the role of the media has been the biggest conduit of their ignorance. As I said, seeing truth is revolutionary. Acting upon it however needs courage and there's none of that kicking about.

I have no doubt that the electorate includes racists and the incredibly stupid, most of whom would have voted leave. Just like the incredibly stupid and gullible voted remain because people in suits and plummy accents told them to. You're making the same mistake Rico. You're talking in the same language, of deals and backstops. It's all spin, designed to obfuscate. We voted to leave. It was a very simple choice. Leaving the EU means not paying them £50m a day and it doesn't require a "deal". We just stop paying them and we exit. Trade isn't going to cease when we do. Business will always find a way. It's politicians with different agendas and "skills" who want to assume control. They have everything to lose. Haven't you seen the buildings and the expenses that we, the European workers paid for? Are you aware of the expenses claims made at Westminster? Do you know what's being engineered in our NHS? Politics is completely corrupt, rotten to the core. They don't serve the people. They serve themselves and principally their unelected masters. Their nephews and fathers-in-law and brothers and sisters get rich from not doing anything. Be part of the system, donate and buy into their "cause" e.g. G4S, Carillion and SeaBorne and the public purse will be diverted your way. Listening to Sky and BBC is tantamount to putting blinkers on. There is only truth and you won't get it from the fake news. The truth is, we voted to leave the EU. The Conservative party, your elected government, didn't think we would vote leave. Their arrogance and their detachment from the people couldn't imagine the result of the referendum. Their pretence of integrity and democracy can't hide the truth and they're in a total quandary. The media are deliberately adding to the confusion by talking in riddles, in "deals" and "backstops". None of them want change but the people do. Edit: Your use of the word "austerity" is another terminological mistake. Just like 2008 after the run on Northern Rock sparked the collapse of the house of cards, where none of them could envisage that the CLO's would ever see the light of day and billions were taken from the public purse to prop up their system and "save the banks", Brown buying RBS, the people didn't stop working. Our businesses didn't lose money. Our productivity didn't drop. The word austerity was introduced to justify public spending reductions and to reduce our expectations. We were told to "tighten our belts" but we hadn't done anything wrong. Austerity is a political tool used by the totally corrupt puppets of the globalist masters. Edit II: Boris and Jacob have been noticeably quiet of late. Can we imagine that the masters might have had a word with them? Were their children threatened? Was the file of their dirty laundry revealed?

It's been a shambles because the people involved are shambolic. May, Davies, Hunt, Grayling, Gove, Mundell etc. are all products of an arselicking fraternity without integrity nor a brain or a testicle between them. The people voted to leave the EU for a very simple reason. We don't want another level of political types governing us, particularly an unelected bunch who's sole purpose is the furtherance of the corrupt globalist agenda. If our elected officials did deliver what the democratic process demanded, France and Italy would be next and the EU would collapse, as it should. The cost of maintaining the status quo would be total disaster and subjugation, the Orwellian nightmare in its fullest form. Years of a complicit presstitute media have confused the middle classes, who's intake of processed food, drugs and political correctness have dumbed them down to a frightening degree. It's not just speaking truth that has become a revolutionary act, but seeing truth.

I agree tig. If he had any ambition at all he should be targeting better than Celtic, although they could be a useful stepping stone as he's not ready for the higher levels in my opinion. Getting picked for his country is another big feather in his CV so if Celtic did table a bid, AFC would tell the world, protract the negotiations and then someone else might come in with a bid that we really can't afford to ignore. Then we can concentrate on trying to get 3rd or 4th place in the league.

He should be. No successful professional athlete wants a glass ceiling above them. Every ambitious sportsman wants to win. Aberdeen under Milne can't win the league because it's not even the goal. McInnes won't succeed because he's not capable and isn't a winner himself. Why would McKenna not want to join one of the only two teams in Scotland who are capable of winning, now that the old duopoly is back and here to stay by the looks of it? No person - in sport or otherwise - would turn down the chance to treble or quadruple their income. These comments, whilst true, do NOT add weight to the rumour of Celtic being in for McKenna, the origin of which is unknown (to me).

Can never have too many G's. G's are good, G's are great. Too many S's is a concern. Sam. Scott (M). Shay. Stevie. Scott (W) and no doubt others.

Inside knowledge or wish list?

Any club who sells their best player in the January window is more interested in money than success.
