  1. Sad time for Scottish horse racing. Lucy Normile packs it in. Although a small yard, she trained a couple of horses over the years where i knew the owners. She won't be the last small-ish yard to go under. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2020/jun/10/its-pants-lucy-normile-quits-racing-and-fears-other-trainers-will-follow
  2. I was in my late teens/early 20s, so they were all auld wummin to me
  3. You'd have thought the fact that some wee timmy/feenyun/kafflick had already defaced the statue by painting the horse black would have had the neanderthal "peepuls" on guard 24/7.

  8. I assume the author is also female ?? She should have said the plant was abducted whilst she was out at the local tapas bar. She'd have been given full government protection and been given substantial monies donated from the great british public. Her neighbour Jane knows that she's a killer, but, without credible witnesses, cannot prove it. Our author then walks away unscathed. Or she should nip round and kick Jane in the pie for being a cow.
  9. From the limited information i've covered, seems Andrew Carnegie might be ok. However, if there is/was a statue of him in Inverkeithing, we may have issues to deal with following his abandonment of emigrees in new York (?) when they wouldn't cross an existing picket line to work for him. He was allegedly pelted with divits when he rode through Inverkeithing on his way to Dunfermline after he'd returned some time after this incident. Hence Inverkeithing is called colloquially as Inverdivit or The Divit. The story is along these lines if my recollection is not fully accurate.
