    Have to say I'm totally the opposite from you and I cannot wait until it's behind me and I never have to see it other than when entering and leaving.  

    It's been a major inconvenience so it fucking better bring in the kind of cash we need to push on.  

    Having to be in the SRE with the roasters has been annoying. Not only is the view inferior to the North Terrace but the company is much worse. Hopefully they don't move into the North Terrace.

  2. The motion wasn't binding so will actually change f**k all. The Tories will back Israel to the hilt. Sir Keith will mirror them as he has no vision of his own and is content to be a tiny bit less shit than the Tories.

    What a fucking tragic state of affairs tbh.

    It's time for a modern day Guy Fawkes to blow up Westminster.

    What I cannot understand is a legal / justice system whereby if I personally assault someone and cause them GBH / scar them for life, I will receive a serious custodial, and rightly so.

    However, if I own a devildug and let it off leash and it causes the same amount of damage as per above, I'll probably receive a fine and dug gets the big needle / a police bullet.

    It's a ludicrous situation.

    I was thinking about this point the other day. I'm surprised gangland warfare isn't getting carried out by XL bullys, less risk than using a knife or a gun!

    As you say, it is ludicrous.

    Voting for the SNP is rewarding poor performance/corruption.

    If you do that then they'll never change. A sizeable drop in vote share might reset the party and show them mediocrity will not be enough. There's no chance of an indyref in sight anyway, when it does come I want the party led by a confident and competent leader with a real strategy to indy. 

    'keep voting for us to get indy' isn't good enough.

    Absolutely this. Mediocrity isn't good enough. 

    I would add that worrying about how others perceive your spoiled ballot is even more bizarre. Not voting SNP doesn't mean you are against independence. There is more nuance than that irrespective of how the media will frame it. 

    The SNP need a bloody nose to up their game. Entitlement and complacency is where the party is at the moment. I won't be complicit in that and that's my choice.

    Being a little less shit than Westminster and the Tories isn't enough for my vote.

    Man sues Powerball lottery after being told $340m win was a mistake

    Washington DC resident alleges ‘false representation’ by Powerball lottery operator

     

    If you're going to get some compo, in America its that age old saying 'Go big or go home'!

     

     

     

     

     

    The BBC website also have this story. This quote made me laugh, what a depressing thought...

    Quote

    The odds of Mr Cheeks, or anyone, winning the jackpot are exceedingly rare, about one in 292.2 million. In comparison, the odds of being struck by lightning over the next year is 1 in 1.22 million, according to the US National Weather Service.

    Aldi were denied planning permission for a store in Cowdenbeath, a local councillor reckoned it would lower the tone of the town.

    COWDENBEATH!!!

    Years on, there is a Lidl and an Aldi in the town.

    Having watched my team get ragdolled by them more than once I'm pretty sure it's spelt COWDENFUCKINBEATH!

    30 days. I think he has to deposit the fine in an escrow account within that time as well, whether or not he appeals, which he definitely will. 

    I suspect there will be ways he can finance it. It'll be costly to finance it but I'd imagine that's what he'll do on appeal. Pay 10s of millions rather than 100s of millions.

    I would assume not voting is also a huge possibility.

    The SNP have a lot of work to do to earn my vote back.

    I'm looking forward to the external report on transparency and governance of the party. I'm hoping we might see some positive change in how the party is run post Murrell. 

    I won't vote Green as its little more than a protest at a GE. Alba are total non-entities. 

    Edit - I will turn up and spoil my ballot. I am not voting for the least worst option.

  9. Aye, it is much more positive being an Ayr fan since BGM was emptied.

    However, there is a lot of football still to be played. We remain reliant on 3/4 really good players and still have persistent weaknesses.

    It'll be squeaky of that I have no doubt. Will be another last weekend job. I'm just hoping we are mathematically safe with a few games to spare. That would be nice.

    Edit - FWIW I think Arbroath are already gone. I hope I'm wrong as it's a great place to go but they need a monster turnaround to get above two other sides.

    Heard that apparently we've been unsuccessful in getting a grant from the SFA for the build of the new community building down at the away end.

    Unsure if true but if so wonder if that means it won't happen now

    Would be very surprised at that tbh.

    As I understand it, the SFA is forever trumpeting the work of the club and the Academy as an example of what can be done.
