7 for Mon

That the Nats' new fav phrase references a Confederate song is true. That Scotland built many dozens of 'blockade running' ships for the Confederacy is true. No need to feel sorry for me but thanks for the sentiment. Edit: Wherever the UF went the Saltire went too. Scotland was the most important part of Empire, pound for pound. And yes, using the old SA flag may have been a better joke in my head than in its execution and I'd not do it again.

*wringer Welcome back to the big time, Dees. A club with only good guys and wanks - no beige posters. Hope the Dundee derby is delayed for a season or two with your Arab neighbours being sent doon.

7 for Fri. Shite week.

Quick note: Here's a list of Confederate songs for wur Natwit pals to sing: https://civilwarpoetry.org/confederate/songs/index.html We anti-slavery blokes who accept folk as they are can enjoy this:

We hope not. He's annoying but decent.

Well spotted, that diddy! As I said at the time...it was to connect Scotland with their big Confederate pals to the west. Scotland so desperate for tobacco and cotton that Glasgow made many dozens of ships to run the Union blockades. Sent out with war material and returned with cotton and tobacco to feed the mills of Paisley, Glasgow and Lanarkshire. During this time Britain's Royal Navy was, of course, trying desperately to blockade ports in West Africa against slave trading. In contrast to the slavey-loving Jocks. So it's entirely fitting that a thicket of JockNats would vaunt 'the bonnie blue flag':

I sort of like the sentiment but the history doesn't back it up. 1. There hasn't been a King of Scotland since William of Orange in 1689 2. The title in the Claim of Right is, exactly, King of Scotland. Not 'of Scots'.

I guess you win then.

You'll have to tease that yin out for me...

That you, Kezia?

No interest in monarchy or its trappings so my eldest and I have a walk in the Chilterns planned. I did, though, chap on a neighbour's door earlier and told her she had hung her Union Jack upside down.

7/10 for the cup quiz @Eednud

Except they are. The EA was framed to deal with ignorant boors like you. You can f**k off now.

She was invited to the venue!

You're right, of course, but you're expecting @StellarHibeeto be capable of joined-up thinking. I doubt he's capable of using a zip.

I didn't whinge about anything, dafty. That Jo Cherry may believe in binary, biological sex is a protected characteristic as a well-founded philosophical belief. Not that it will stop the likes of you raging about it.

Indeed. Thanks for stating the obvious. Again.

The EA deals perfectly well with 'protected characteristics'. That's why it's good law.

Not really. The staff deciding who can or can't perform at a venue based on feelings is the very the that the EA was designed to stop. The venue owner could grow a set...but that's Tommy Shepherd who is from a different iteration of Nat than Cherry. So it's a 'made in Scotland' mess - again. Ignorance, infighting and the wrong sort of Nat.

Well deserved win for us and no late drama. Goal from Howat making the difference. Howat getting MotM but Hannah Davison decided not to fanny about and think she was a footballer but actually showed up as a (tremendous) defender.

Good stuff, Edmund. I like these quizzes. But can we have different names? Group 1, 2 etc are a tad uninspiring. Since its a combo of Labour Day and the Wiz of Oz how about: Jimmy Maxton Keir Hardy Manny Shinwell John MacLean Dorothy Cowardly Lion Tin Man Toto @SlipperyP 6 for Wed 8 for Thur

Drone off, dafty. Yes you are. And I'm not a monarchist.

The TwitterNati getting the main point, again. Daft wee Eric - everynat - greetin' that Aldi Berwick didn't have saltires on produce: These posters are great. They're showing just how trivial and ignorant the case for partition actually is.

The National showing its ignorance again: The Bonnie Blue Flag being, of course, a Confederate tune: But this is fitting for a movement of identity and division.
