Someone once told me that whatever the circumstances, whatever the sexuality, outright denial should always be first choice. Unless that is, you're actually caught in the act, and even then you'll probably think of something to say. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I guess outright denial isn’t an option when you’re telling a 16 year old he’s cute with your stupid mug attached at the top of the screen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Mr Swinney is going to be disappointed by his worst critics. They're tweeting furiously to the surprise of nobody. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syria being heavily bombed. The spread of conoavirus is their next news item. Derek and the SNP are relegated to 3rd place which strikes me as much more balanced news coverage - much better than the usual shit the dear old BBC are coming up with. 3rd story on the ten o'clock news on the BBC news last night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"it wasn't me" But she caught me on the counter (It wasn't me) Saw me bangin' on the sofa (It wasn't me) I even had her in the shower (It wasn't me) She even caught me on camera (It wasn't me) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he should resign as an MSP as he has displayed a dreadful lack of decorum and judgement. Meh I’m not so sure. I don’t think WATTOO had broken any laws when explaining his nightclub behaviour but got ridiculed for it. John Lambies Doos (I think) gets a bit of a hard time on here for his over appreciation of the female form and one of the Inverness boys (I think) got mercilessly mocked for going solo to nightclubs. Correct that he has done nothing illegal but it’s definitely OFTW behaviour that surpasses anything that we see on here and treat as fair game. Just because he’s an (ex) Minister of the Government and a (now suspended) prominent member of the SNP does not, to me, mean he should be left alone. So far, with the odd outlier, I think the discussion on here has been fairly measured and if anyone here had ‘fessed to similar there’d be screeds of posts. If anything, his prominence with the SNP seems to have the ardent supporters doing their best to limit the damage. Newspapers love the salacious. I looked at The National yesterday and they barely had 300 words on it. I’d say he is fair game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the chances of him being left alone are probably less odds than Liverpool are to win the league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crùbag Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 It would be more of a shock if Schofield came out as left-wing. As to Mackay... jeezo. What is it with horny middle-aged men and power? If only he were royalty, he might have gotten away with it... Sturgeon right to sack him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
