  1. Nature in doing nature things shocker. Future generations will look back with incredulity at both the arrogance of, and money spent at, trying to control the climate.
  2. He's only interested in money. In that sense no it's not daft. He's a p***k of the highest order but he's not daft.
  3. Wherever the nannies need defending, Sophia will be found. For their own sake I hope they are a troll.
  4. Useless hilariously offering to mediate the junior doctor pay dispute in England after handing out pay rises up here that the SG had to hike taxes to try and begin to afford.
  5. It's nannying pish that you're trying far too hard to justify for some reason. Next time round it'll be £1
  6. Of all the things you can say about Colin McGowan, this really isn’t one of them. He’s a complete arsehole with no interest in football but he’s patently not daft.
  7. Each to their own but I really like it.
  8. They'll just not sell the own brand stuff rather than push everything else up. All it does it punish those with less disposable income who have the cheek to want to have a drink. But its not even just that. Take a standard 440ml can of Heineken, which contains 2.2 units. The minimum price per can is now £1.43 - an increase of 33p. A 10 pack, which typically retails at around £10-12 down South, now needs to be at least £14.30 up here. And there is no hope of any 3 for £21 or buy 4 get 1 free type deals as they've been banned for years. It wasn't too long ago I picked up 40 cans in an offer down South for £30. Those same 40 cans would now cost at least £57.20 here. I'm fortunate that I'm down South often enough I can plan ahead and stock up, but given the extra cash is just going into the retailer's pocket it's an absolutely abysmal kick in the stones for many.
  9. There was never going to be an easy draw at this level, but I think that's as good as we could have hoped for. World Cup Playoff places up for grabs from this too so finishing 3rd (or even, somehow, 2nd) would be massive. Looking at League B, the only likely group runner up you'd want to avoid would be Czechia / Ukraine, so absolute NAP that's who we'll get if we finish 3rd.
  10. It isn't the point. It's a flawed policy, that doesn't work, and does nothing other than shovel more money into retailer's pockets. It's more than "inflation plus 3p" cheaper to buy alcohol down South.
  11. The sooner these nannying arseholes are out of power the better.
  12. I’m sure the plan is to outsource all but the first team home games to Thorniewood’s Robertson Park. There are plans to install a synthetic surface and floodlights there later this year. Arguably the first team could train there and / or behind the goal at NDP to avoid cutting the pitch up in winter. There is no rush to rip up the plastic, though, so Clyde’s agreement can easily be accommodated for now.
  13. Wok Cuisine used to be the best imo, but it's dropped off dramatically. Agree RE: Marini's - Carlin's chippy was the best before it just shut one day.
  14. We comfortably dispatched of TNS in pre season so complete minter for Falkirk tonight tbh. Dropping points to Edinburgh City's B team and out the Scottish to Bonnyrigg. Now this embarassment. Be interesting to see how you react to your first league defeat on the 17th - Would be a huge riddy to bottle the league now after your tweet last week.
  15. That would require some thought and consideration, though. The SG don’t do that - they pick good sounding targets out of thin air and worry about the mechanism or feasibility later. In the UK, though, the majority of heating systems use mains gas. So until the Merit Order is removed and/or heat pumps become more efficient it will never be cheaper to heat a home with a heat pump than with gas. “Spend a fortune and increase your energy bill for no reason” isn’t exactly a winning marketing slogan.
  16. Unless the SG intend to fully fund the required work to install heat pumps they simply haven’t a hope in hell of hitting their target. They can get fucked if they expect me to fund it to replace the perfectly good and efficient system already in place. That’s before you get to those who simply can not afford it no matter how much they try.
  17. Interesting to see bots now edit posts to try to make them appear not bots
