  1. The centre (Zocalo and around about), Condesa/La Roma and Coyoacan (quite near the Azteca) are the places to see. A trip out to Teotihuacan should be done too.
  2. Great finish from Snoddy. Looking good for friday.
  3. Pretty depressing that YES is still behind after all that's happened in the last year tbh. So good stuff in Nicola's speech, focussing on need for a good majority before indyref2. Hard work plus time will do it if we stay focussed on policy issues. Basically lay off independence issue for a year or so depending on circumstances. A year or three is nothing. Euro exit, oil price increase, continued tory uncaring spending cuts, old people dying, Labour frack ups and who knows what else. But SNP can't be complacent. No triumphalism but keep working on issues. Land reform would be an area that could gain more attention for instance. So let independence lie for a while and I think she is right in thinking the YES numbers will rise. I can't really see them falling. But when to go? 55? 60? I think we will be lucky to see these numbers. Hope I'm wrong.
  4. Charlie Adam red carded. But it was never a sending off. Terrible decision from linesman.
  5. Slovakia 6 wins out of 6 in Euro qualifying. With wins over Spain and Ukraine. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
  6. Twilight Sad and Mogwai not making it! Public vote so maybe predictable but I really despair.
  7. Yeah, looks like Fletch is going to be on the move. Wba would be a good move I think.
  8. Poor defending by Robertson for Chelsea goal. Not aggressive enough.
  9. Yes ! We need the SNP but this sort of stuff is more inspiring for me.
  10. This is the most attacking formation on paper for years.
  11. Completely forgot about the Laura Palmer quote to Dale Cooper, "I'll see you in 25 years."
  12. Oh Yes ! Finally some good news. And a great excuse to rewatch the originals. Damn fine tv. In fact the birth of modern tv. Hang on....2016. I can't wait that long. Anyway, hope it's set 25 years after the original.
  13. No one is laughing at Scotland except in spite. Most global citizens have learned something in the last few weeks. Scotland has actually become stronger. Looking at things in the proper perspective of the long term, like what happens in history, is how this should be perceived. The Independence movement has grown stronger. It is mainstream. Anyone laughing, or thinking others are, hasn't got Scotland's interests at heartand and is also ignorant.
  14. I was right up for coming back after a Yes vote but feel less inclined now I have to admit. I'm a bit of a lurker on this board because my love of the national team has never left me even though I rarely get to see games these days. I was pleased with the positive vibes I was getting off this board before the referendum, it was a big antidote to the negativity elsewhere. Of course it turned out to be a little bit of conformation bias but enjoyable nonetheless. I would come on here to keep my head up and still do. I'm living in Mexico and one of the positive aspects is how there is the beginnings of an understanding of what Scotland, Britain, England, the UK, actually means. i.e. that it's not actually the same thing. The referendum got a surprising amount of coverage here from a media not much fixated on Europe. My colleagues all asked my opinion on the referendum and are all scratching their heads at the No vote. They are genuinely confused at how a country could vote No. So am I. I do expect to come back one day, as long as I feel comfortable about finding work, but the vote has put that on the back burner unfortunately.
  15. I'm glad I'm not in the country right now or I'd probably get into trouble. Going to ignore the media for a whle.
  16. Too much confirmation bias was going on in this forum in the last few weeks.
