  3. The Glasgow to Skye Citylink bus has a timetable stop at: "Ault Na Chruinn on A87" ...en route to Kyle of Lochalsh. https://www.citylink.co.uk/timetables/Winter2018/WEB_GlasgowSkyev2.pdf Edit to add: looks like it's 'flag down the bus' rather than an actual bus stop there.

  6. Ideally another EU referendum, with people voting to stay in. Can't see this happening, I think we will still get Brexit with the EU giving out concessions on a new deal. Edit to add: In the unlikely event of a General Election, the Tories would probably still win it.

  8. China mission lands on Moon's far side: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-46724727 Edit to add: China launched a lunar relay satellite last May to get the communications back from the far side of the Moon. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-44198673 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chang'e_4#Queqiao_satellite

  10. British government to spend more than £100m on chartering ferries, in the case of a no deal Brexit: "The contingency plans allow for almost 4,000 more lorries a week to come and go from other ports, including Plymouth, Poole, and Portsmouth" https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-46704522
  11. Freezing rain is rare here apparently and can cause instant ice on landing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freezing_rain https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-46574942
  12. 'Freezing rain' and snow out there just now. Amber warning out for ice, most of the south / central Scotland and snow central Scotland. https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/warnings#?date=2018-12-1
  13. Can someone clarify the 'backstop'? Is the EU saying Northern Ireland can have no hard border with the ROI but has to stay in customs union etc with the EU? Northern Ireland can leave the customs union along with rest of the UK but there would then be a hard border with Ireland? Most people in Northern Ireland don't want a hard border and they don't want a border in the Irish Sea (e.g. Stranraer etc)?
  14. Does anyone think there will be another EU referendum?

  15. Bookies offering odds of 1/10 May wins and 6/1 lose. https://www.oddschecker.com/politics/british-politics/theresa-may-no-confidence-vote-2018 Virtually no chance she will lose this vote.
  16. Highly unlikely May will lose the confidence vote.
