    No fucking chance did my school have a debating team :lol: 

    Think it lasted for about 5 minutes to be fair. Still reckon it was just a teachers ploy to get some fit looking birds on the trip.

    IIRC they "qualified" for the finals by default when Renfrew High's team didn't turn up for the qualifier debate.

    My teach teacher was a Morton fan rather than an alcoholic. The tech teachers were the soundest bunch there, the oldest was a miserable old b*****d but I doubt he drank, he'd probably have been a bit more perky if he did.

    My PE teacher used to play for St. Mirren and made annual attempts at one of the 6th year girls at the end of year prom. 

    I've just looked up my old school's twitter feed and discovered that one of those tech teachers retired this year and my old geography teacher who was like a more interesting version of Mullarkey with tales of going to India with the British Airways stewardess he used to "step out with" also retired. 

    My old maths teacher's still there and she's not aging well.

     

    Pretty certain I went to the same school as you then. Once had a trip down to Keele Uni for a football tournament, and the school debating team went with us for a competition they were in too.

    My mate thought he had managed to pull one of the debating team (from the year above me), only to find her creeping out of said PE teachers's room the next morning...

  3. The epidemiologists in Scotland have no idea where all this discussion about the approach being to create a herd immunity has come from.

    As far as they are concerned, it is definitely not the strategy that is currently being implemented in Scotland.

    Also, their modelling reckons the current infection rate is somewhere between 5,000 and 10,000 people just now. But with the testing only being done for those in hospital or certain situations, they reckon the official number could actually stay the same in the next week or so, despite it not being the real picture out there. Mental.

  4. 36 positive test results so far in Scotland, expected to increase by at least double by next week.

    The first instances of someone being diagnosed with no obvious travel reasons or contact with known infected person has happened too in Scotland.

    Also, a particular company instructing it's staff not to disclose who their employer is as part of the questions for the testing from NHS, for fear of reputational damage due to the number of infected staff they have already, is a joke...

     

    All good reasons in my eyes for companies and people to be taking as many preventative measures as possible.

    It'll be like World War Z in George Square again by the weekend. Although there's a good chance that will be caused by the Sevco Celtic game on Sunday anyway.

    Would they not have set up to treat what's now known as the symptoms rather than a root cause? Pure guesswork on my part, I'm not a doctor. 

    If they've had bloodwork done at all during being in hospital, it would have been picked up.

    ‘Honest SEPA, I promise I’ve changed, it’s just abit of flaring with the boys, we’ll keep it quiet and I’ll be back in for 10, just let us have this one and I’ll make it up to you with a nice wee romantic meal promise’

     

    Exxon turns up 3 days later with a half eaten chippy ‘right let’s have this meal then’

     

    SEPA is limited in what it can do. It's going to take a decision from Scottish Government to really make a difference. When you consider no-one from the Government can even be arsed to turn up to any of the meetings they are invited to about it, I doubt that will happen any time soon.

    Good comeback after early penalty and could have been a couple more on top. The 2nd yellow seemed a bit soft and I'd like to see it back. The ref was a rather card happy most of the day. I'm at the opposite end to the penalty so no idea on that decision.

    Another great day thanks to St Johnstone, a great bunch of lads (unless they beat us next week).

    Pen was at my end, I was in line with the Killie player and Ajer, said it was a penalty as soon as it happened . Clumsy from Ajer but he's more than made up for it after that.

    Brophy looked offside from the original pass too. Ref was rotten for both sides today.

  8. Glasgow has lots of stunning buildings, particularly in the City Centre, that for most of my years I never noticed as I didn't look up.

    My career took me into an area that involved looking at architecture, and luckily it helped me realise how many amazing buildings were around me.

    I really like the Stock Exchange Court in Nelson Mandela Place:

    There's a ton of buildings around the back of the City Chambers that are really nice, but never really get noticed much.
