    Oh dear, how inconvenient... 

    Former Lib Dem leader Charles Kennedy has insisted his party went the "extra mile" to check out donor Michael Brown before accepting his money.

    Brown - who gave the party £2.4m ahead of the 2005 election - was later convicted of stealing £36m from clients and is now on the run from the police.

    The Electoral Commission ruled in 2009 the party could keep the money.

    Advisors recommended an amount to contribute and the FM chose to ignore this. As this is taxpayers cash is there a good reason to select a different figure? This happened shortly before his relatives were granted a pass out. Even if nothing dodgy has happened it does look rather wrong. I'm sure this can be cleared up early next week with the official paperwork. Happy to admit Humza did good when this happens 

    Citation and explanation for your subjectivity required

    You appear to be comparing the plight of the people of Gaza with Brechin. If you are give your head a wobble ffs. 

    This is along the lines of the reply that I was going to post but couldn't be bothered to. 

    I'm sure @AyrExile is proud of his contribution that infers that Scotland is inadequate or not worthy of offering compassion

    Lawal hasn't played much, but has shown potential when he has. Speedy, can play a pass, although certainly a bit lightweight at the moment

    From what I've seen of him (absolutely very little bar a few late sub cameos), he seems to be a bit of a deep lying CM. Done decent by all accounts at youth international levels though but completely untested in actual competitive senior football. Could be just us getting him ready to be a starter at that level next season

    We'll he's certainly got a touch and a pass. 

    I didn’t expect him to last past the hour mark today but there was a through ball quite late in the game straight through the D and towards the penalty spot that was crying out for a striker to properly anticipate. That was the game right there. Alas the pass was better than the striker's run.

    So as with the tory party who have totally ignored the majority of UK citizens for the past 14 years with their reckless monetary policies.

    The Caley board, who have ignored their fans for too long, now knock on their fans doors asking for support?

    I, like all Caley fans, always will support my club,  so putting aside the clubs distancing from us, I will lobby my local Councillor.

    But this has now to be the beginning of a bridge between fans and club.

    Except that is, when you don't. 

    The club would be on a much better footing if there was less performative girning and more, oh let's see, oh yes, more season ticket renewing

  6. The last time I travelled long haul, I was just preparing to tuck in to my gratis meal when I suddenly became aware of an almighty grunting.

    I looked to my left to see the sleeping and snoring form of a fellow traveller. The snoring was almost tolerable and the slavering was best when my gaze avoided the grotesque. The flight was fleetingly enjoyable when the miasma of his intermittent farting cleared. I endeavoured to make the best if it and relieved him of his uneaten repast and tasty beverage.

    I have no idea who someone called Sydney Sweeney is, but in the last few days Twitter/X is absolutely determined to convince me that she's very important and that I need to pay attention to everything she says & does. Literally every 4th or 5th post is her.

    Presumably there's some kind of 'show man boobs, man click on ads' algorithm going on.

    Don't get angry
