9 for Friday. One away from a full house. How Gauling.

Well, he is a bit of a rarity. A well-spoken, articulate Nat with a bit of common sense. I can see why he is unpopular with many.

I think that's right but there's a 'but'. Yes, absolutely, you see a fair sprinkling of thoroughbreds - either ex-racers or failed racers - around equestrian yards. Some - particularly the older ones - may be general 'school' horses used for pottering around/hacking while others can be trained to do cross country and eventing. And because they were bred for speed, endurance and jumping they excel in cross country. My eldest competed at a decent level before she went to uni and the thoroughbreds were highly prized, though not so much for dressage. The 'but' is that if racing was banned then you would see - probably - the end of the thoroughbred line which would be a bit of a shame.

Of all of Sturgeon's cock-ups and incompetencies, I think inflicting the Greens was her greatest. Imagine allowing these freaks so much influence in Scotland. If Humza has a backbone - and that's up for debate - he needs to get shot of them. I am with Fergus here:

9 for Thur. Mountain.

Leah Williamson hobbling off with - probably - a hammy is a shame for her and, maybe, for England in the WC. Great win for Man U. Probably between them and Chelsea for the WSL title now.

Carry on then. I'll just ignore your inane ramblings.

Hahaha - given we had a referendum in 2014 I'd have to be bonkers to argue otherwise. You are, in your usual style, ranting about something you made up in your own head. Have another go to answer the question: "Which international law and interpreted by whom would override the principle of the sovereignty of parliament?"

This goal is tremendous.

Simmer doon, ya daftie. Imagine accusing me, of all people, of arguing against the sovereignty of parliament. The very outcome of the Williamite Revolution and the cornerstone of our constitution. As I said five years ago: You also failed to address the question I asked: "Which international law and interpreted by whom would override the principle of the sovereignty of parliament?"

Sticks in the craw to say it but Celtic are the form team. More than City or us they've had a better second half of the season.

Cometh the hour cometh wee Xavi Maclean to set up a well-taken winner...

Working fairly well. We've had some good phases. Worth the HT lead.

Remember our ability to play totaalvoetbal against the wee teams but bottle it against Celtic and City. Going without real width, too, but beefing up the midfield is a bit meh:

Imagine campaigning for Shona Robison to be given more 'levers'.

Eh? Which international law and interpreted by whom would override the principle of the sovereignty of parliament?

If you followed either 'The Ferries' or 'That Salmond Stuff' - either of which should have led to resignations or sackings - and saw how poorly enabled HR committees are to bring government to account - then you can't possibly vaunt HR's democracy. A sleekit operator like Sturgeon - realising committees are toothless - ran rings round them. Scotland was cursed with 8 years of Sturgeon's lies, deceit, mendacity, redaction and bluster and HR wasn't able to touch her.

8 for Wed. Didn't know who Survived in a Phone Booth.

Didn't log onto Unhinged in error? Great story!

It can only be a combination of Plod Alba and COPFS.

7 for Tue

Shitty situation for the auld one. Maybe an initial conversation with a solicitor to see what the options are followed by a polite letter from him/her saying, "Be a good neighbour and give the woman peace. We should resolve this between us rather than take it further" is worth considering?

Head Scone thread for this pish...

Humza, "Of course I'm surprised that one of my colleagues has been arrested" Everyone else: "We're not".

One of the selling points of Indy was to escape Tory sleaze, as was repeated often and sanctimoniously. The Tartan Troughers have sullied not only their own but the Nat movement's credibility in that regard.
