Scary Bear Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I quite like the fact that MSPs mingle with us on public transport. Yesterday I spotted Mrs Doubtfire (Annabel Goldie) at Queen Street Station and Mike 'grumpy' Russell at Waverley Station. How many points do I get for these spots? At least I recognised this pair. There should be a points system in place on here for spotting some of the more obscure ones. Ideas for a points system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForzaDundee Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Saw Tavish Scott walking past my flat the other day. He's very tall and looked lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killie Zenit Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Saw Iain Gray coming out a portaloo in Kelvingrove Park during the Mela one year. Looked sheepish enough to indicate he'd dropped off the best part of a Labour Party manifesto in there. Also saw Eric Pickles coming off the plane I was about to get on to fly back up the road and worried the fat ride had fucked the suspension on the undercarriage. Have seen Nicola Sturgeon and Angus Robertson out and about, and was with my maw when she got stopped by former Defence Secretary Des Browne in Kilmarnock town centre when he was canvassing in the run-up to the 1997 General Election. My mum told him to sort out the amount of dug shite in Kay Park, but I think he decided to bomb Iraq instead. The sexiest by far was wee Paddy Harvie at a Green stall on Buchanan Street. I swear his baldy wee heid had a halo round it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I met him once at a flooding conference in Perth back in, I think, 2006. We spoke for all of about 2 minutes before he shuffled on. Met him again at a different event about 5 years later, and by this time he was in government. What got me was that he remembered my name, my job and what we spoke about for those brief minutes years earlier. I couldn't do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Jim Murphy was once sat at the table next to me in a Merchant City curry house. He's a very peculiar individual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not in a seat labour are likely to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMartyn86 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I've saw Gordon Banks a few times as my mate works for him. Keith Brown is a member of our Legion branch and he's been at a few things we've had on. Also ex SNP Man George Reid has done a couple of things with us in the early day of the branch. On deployment to the gulf in 2010 the newly elected defence secretary Liam Fox was due to visit us when we got alongside Abu Dhabi cue loads of cleaning up for the p***k not too show up. Also I was in the guard on parade for the new Falkland Islands Governor getting sworn in. That was a good day. I think there's more people but that's all I can think of just now.

H Wragg Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I saw ex MP Maria Fyfe on the train a few weeks ago. I also see Patrick Harvie out and about on the southside of Glasgow fairly regularly, including on a rickety auld bike the other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Bairn Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Saw Iain Gray walking up the the royal mile about a year ago when I was showing a few girls around Edinburgh. He looked about as hungover as I felt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harry94 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Have met Cameron several times in Mauchline.. What's he like? Nearly had an encounter set up with him during the referendum and I had a plan to ask him really angry non sensical questions to see how he would handle it "Mr Cameron, why not devolve the income tax to 100% and then increase green to 130% of capacity of nuclear?" or something like that. Quite like when politicians get approached by members of the public who make over simplified analogies relating to their own household budgets to ask their question.

It's always the ones that refer to local issues which are are utterly specific to this one individual, and expect the PM to know what they are talking about, and to tell them it will be sorted.

Colkitto Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Just passed Ruth Davidson literally about an hour and a half ago in St Vincent St Glasgow. Thought it was a wee guy at first as she had on a black Crombie coat. She nearly bumped into me she was that close yappin on her mobile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feigned interest in what I was doing then went back to his wine and cigarettes. Cameron stays there quite a lot. He is in Scotland as PM more often than the one eyed socialist f**k from Fife was.

My best mate was part writing some of her speeches during the referendum campaign and was also part of her prep team for the televised debates. They were all absolutely shitting a brick that she would let fly with an expletive on live TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
