The only answer I know to those questions off the top of my head was Dr William O'reilly was on the BBC , funnily enough on a program about immigrants coming to London as he was some history prof. As I say the reasons are subjective and will depend on each person. A huge influx of younger folk, undergrads at universities I saw taking the piss cause of a lot of things he had meant to have claimed. I've not looked at any of his claims, I can never be bothered with Walter Mitty's.

That's the guy who said you can grow concrete in the debate with some environmentalist, not surprised to hear he is a literal mouth-breather.

On the Arday thing, there is a list of cambridge academics who got in bother for plagiarism over the last few decades. The press coverage of Arday is a statistical outlier by an incredible amount. Those are just demonstrable facts Why it happened is where subjectivity comes in. I imagine there will be many reasons depending on the person. No point trying to fit the whole narrative into one shoe.

The scrutiny was disproportionate when compared to other cases for example Dr William O'Reilly. 188 articles in 9 days.

No idea yet depends on what i am doing, i'm applying for September 2027 intake into PhD and/or Masters if I don't get in.

Seen it, had read the novel and liked it. Not read any of the others.

I'll be able to say once i move back in a year. 25 year apart.

Two of my old uni mates said they went to a chippy in Newton Mearns and it was good, the vinegar came in a wee spray bottle that turned it into a fine mist. atomiser thing??

I've been arguing on here since 2003. Very rarely do i think of something after leaving the board, i think the only time I ever took something off the board was Kraeigh (sp?) as it got so big folk outside the board were discussing it, and then meeting up with folk from the board at games randomly was always fun. When i was younger i was a contrarian to say the least so very often got pelters etc. As a previous gamer though was all very tame in comparison though. I dished out a lot as well though so hardly a victim.

The guy in the suit is a free-style rapper. It does give the impression that randoms in NYC are ready to drop bars at a drop of a hat. I think ari the guy with the set up does get sought out from people though as he has a huge following. I've only really started watching it

Watched the first 3 episodes of season 4 Reacher. Very formulaic but I quite like it. Watching Reacher batter folk is quite entertaining plus enough wee twists and turns. I used to always get my gran the books without realising what they were about. There should be enough books for loads of seasons of this.

I spent the time between 2001-2006 going out in Glasgow, i lived in Dennistoun for a bit during that time so along the parade or duke street at night as well and only had the occasional encounter. I used to go to the cathouse a bit and then into the subway afterwards, best kebab a lot at 3am times. Walking back along sauchiehall street, up high street. I worked part-time at cadogan street so went past central a lot early morning and like 10pm. Strolling through all parts of the city centre after various night outs, George square at 3am,4am. The only really dodgy place i felt then was back central station, the atmosphere was crazy. I'm looking to move back to Glasgow and I must admit i'm a wee bit worried about getting a flat in the city centre even though it will be right next to the uni.

the video is presented in a way to rile you up. So smart to ask questions before getting riled up. I say that cause looking at the comments folk are calling it an invasion and act of war when they're just doing a flag raising at a consulate, happens all the time in these places.

The pakistan consulate on Maxwell drive Here's it on street view buildings you can see in the video on the right, consulate with flag pole on the left. Never doubt that many folk post in bad faith

Very fair point!
