  1. I have seen this phraseology used regularly but it seems rather clunky and full of subliminal meaning: “The former first minister emerged from the home near Glasgow she shares with Peter Murrell” Why isn’t it her home? Their home? The marital home? But it’s described as the ‘home she shares? Surely all spouses share their home with their significant other?
  2. It is but they do take an English precedent as worth following unless we have a serious divergence in legislation. On this I don’t think we do.
  3. Awfy quiet in here for such a big story. Is there a game on the night?
  4. Has no-one else seen Flightplan?
  5. Not much change from those in their Renaults with the YES stickers on the back travelling through the town at a flat out 20mph tbf.
  6. Skipped across an article suggesting it was a cloud seeding exercise gone wrong?
  7. Be a nice idea to maybe properly think them through first though, eh?
  8. See all the boys claiming it’s a corrupt conspiracy, any chance of whip round to refund my £5 please?
  9. It’s horrible. Really horrible. Feel for you pal.
  10. He's a smasher. Mrs a-p MkII remains the stumbling block and the permission slip is still evading me...
  11. On FlightRadar where usually you’ve got a peak of maybe a total of 10,000 nerds looking at flights at any one time. Midnight tonight and there’s 250,000 following what look like some highly improbable flight patterns all over the Middle East from ‘commercial airlines’..
  12. I did some advanced training a number of years ago and if there was a narrow gap that two cars could just about squeeze through and you had right of way the instruction was not to breathe in and squeeze past each other hoping the other c**t was as skilful as you but to get your car right in the middle of the road to tell the c**t coming the other way that you had taken all the space you were entitled to and he’d just have to wait. Surprisingly effective, particularly round here where a couple of narrow bridges that previous allowed two way free-for-all traffic have now been marked with priority directions.
  13. Yeah but what would you use your hands for if you were missing your bottom half?
  14. You nailed it earlier @Richey Edwards - every day is indeed a school day. Turn up with that motivation and awareness to learn from everything and you’ll be fine, no matter how daunting it may initially seem. Turn up like you know it all every day and I’d expect there’s a cropper coming your way. And worse still, you’ll not see it coming.
  15. Thanks for sharing. Largely on the basis of this - and that Skybet are paying e/w on 12 places - I’ve now backed Cam Smith, Sam Burns and Keegan Bradley. Also had a long antepost on Jordan Speith. But I don’t know shit…
  16. Can i say that it is absoluitely hosing down in Clackmannanshire right now; should hit Dundee in about two hours...
  17. It genuinely pisses me off how some people will defend their pet politicians all while refusing to engage with any critical thinking themselves.
  18. alta-pete likes this. Just get fucking on with it. Even with our bunch of hair band wearing fannies.
  19. Good. A repeat performance at Parkhead would do me just fine. Just so long as we don't give them the same goal head start of course.
