  1. Will the voters who regret voting for Trump be called Trumpets?
  2. Oh come on. Do you really think an international crime organisation like Spectre would not have covered all these issues at the job interview? I bet he had a leasing arrangement with Spectre and the whole estate reverted back to them when he was killed. Also they would probably have a department specifically for clean up the mess after Bond has been there - I think they would be crazy not to.
  3. I think the makers of The Simpsons must be cursing themselves for giving him the idea to be President.
  4. Are they still gone to send rockets into space looking for intelligent life?
  5. I thought the whole argument for leaving the EU was so important decisions would be decided by the UK parliament.
  6. A recent survey found the spooky coincidences happen more often in October than any other month. Nobody knows why.
  7. I haven't seen the programme but I did know about it. I also remember seeing Payne Stewart playing at Gleneagles not the long before it happened.
  8. You mean there is a machine that can do this stuff?
  9. A recent survey of teenagers in Aberdeen, South Dakota revealed that 35% were unable to name a single city in Scotland. Surveys in Glasgow, Montana and Inverness, Florida came up with similar results. However, teenagers in Dundee, Alaska performed much better. More than half of them said Perth.
  10. Weather men who have to stand in front of a green screen are advised not to wear green - the effect can be quite unusual. In that sense, Jim White would have been an ideal weather man. Then again, we would probably get "Tomorrow will be gloomy - we just lost to Celtic"
  11. I did once. Make sure you include comments like "Never again !!" and "Didn't need the last pint !" and "What was I thinking !!!!" If it averages more than 40 exclamation marks in a week - then you have a problem.
  12. It is an acronym for "Engineering, Procurement, Installation & Commissioning". Basically it means "go off and do all of it and give us a call when it's done. We'll be on the golf course"
  13. Monarch Airlines is in financial difficulty because too many republicans refuse to fly with them.
  14. She did not say 52% wanted to remove Polish people. She said she felt she was no longer wanted by 52% of the population. Current rhetoric has created a stigma to somebody being foreign.
  15. You must be doing something wrong. Doing something destructive - no end of volunteers Years ago, I was stripping wallpaper and a friend called round. Before I knew it - he was stripping wallpaper and I was making the tea. In the afternoon, his parents turned up. They got stuck in to the wallpaper stripping and I went off to the pub.
  16. It is something to do with betraying your country - such as lying about an extra £350 million to the NHS if we leave the EU
  17. If this petition could be applied retrospectively - Margaret Thatcher could be charged with treason.
  18. This must be a spoof. Life imprisonment? What's wrong with hanging? .. and a damned good flogging before hand too. Never mind that 48% of the UK and 62% of Scotland voted remain. We were just wrong! (.. and this should include anyone who thinks Boris Johnson has a silly haircut.)
  19. What's the view if somebody moves to a new town. For example, if a St Johnstone fan moves from Perth to Kilmarnock - should they start supporting Kilmarnock or continue with St Johnstone?
  20. Yeah, I remember being asked to boycott Shell because of what they were doing in Africa but I thought I was already boycotting them because of South America or the Middle East or I can't remember. At the same time, all the other companies - more or less identical to Shell - were left untouched.
  21. Stiff upper lip and all that. Dear boy. A return to the days when Britain ruled the waves and taught everyone how to do things right. Failing that - maybe we should just say please.
  22. To me it seemed the referendum was mainly the Tories versus the Tories - with everybody else being ignored For Leave Tories - it was easy - their natural instinct was to oppose an institution such as the EU - regardless of whether it was good or bad For Remain Tories - it was more difficult - they could not be seen to be keen on the EU or positive about it - only saying it would be better to be in than out. I recall speeches by Cameron where he said he was half inclined to leave himself - and that seems true of many other Tory "Remainers". .. maybe they might have wanted to talk to people like adults but it was more important not to upset their own support.
  23. I am not sure that Cameron actually wanted it. I think he wanted his party to stop talking about the EU endlessly. Not going to happen. Some Tories can be as dogmatic as anyone. Even if the EU was perfect, they would still be against it. Yet another layer of government - so they oppose it - end of story. Leave won partly because the Remain camp had too many lukewarm supporters. I guess it would be tricky to be a Tory MP who was dead keen on the EU. However, I totally agree that it is a mess.
  24. In the days of the Soviet Union, Estonia manufactured more shoes for the left foot then anywhere else in the world. .. and in case you are wondering - Turkmenistan had a similar record for the right foot.
  25. In Inverness there are those who claim they supported either Caledonian OR Inverness Thistle but never supported the merger - hence their decision to support one of the old firm instead. Not sure what they would do if Celtic and Rangers ever decided to merge.
