  1. The person who done it might just have been signing their own work. Probably done by somebody called Quentin.
  2. How does this Mr Thompson fella know that "Q" stands for "quisling"? Surely the only person who knows what it stands for, is the person who wrote it?
  3. There is a big difference between being "stupid" and being "ignorant of the facts". Folk don't have to be stupid to be taken in by bullshit. It happens to very intelligent people on a regular basis.
  4. To be fair to your dad, it depends on when he started getting his pension (if indeed he is getting a pension yet). Most folk who are already retired probably weren't affected too much by Broons pension fund raids. It all depends on his personal circumstances. Everybody is different. But you are right the media have done a great job of hiding this from the public. It will affect younger folk much more. Especially those who might have had a chance of being in a defined benefit (final salary ) pension scheme. When Labour came to power in 1997, 35% of company pension schemes were defined benefit. It is now down to about 8%. Most pensions experts agree that this change is almost entirely due to Pension Fund Raider Broon.
  5. You were a "middle aged khunt" in 1973? FFS how auld are you now? You must be aulder than Flure and Mario. We are going to have to reset the TAMB Auldgeezerometer.
  6. Great recovery from Rory. After 9 holes it was looking like he might not make the cut. 12 shots behind is probably too much, but if Spieth can do the first 2 rounds in 14 under maybe Rory can do the last 2 rounds in 14 under? Good to see Kevin Na doing well. I have always liked him after his 16, at one hole,, gave us amateurs such hope and entertainment. The way he had a good laugh about it afterwards was good to see.
  7. 12 birdies and and only one bogey so far. Can he he keep this form up into the weekend?
  8. Looks like Bradley Neil will have to settle for two rounds. Good experience though.
  9. It's one of the reasons that the opinion polls are making it look like SNP has a big lead. Dead folk can, and do, vote but it's difficult for them to take part in opinion polls.
  10. Loads of folk in this country make a living out of it. You wouldn't want to put them out of a job would you?
  11. It was mentioned last night. Yesterday's news. Today we will have a story about an "SNP nutter" who put a shyte through Murphy's letter box.
  12. Some shot from Sergio at the 14th. He must be in with a shout at -4.
  13. Sometimes you should just do something because it's the right thing to do, and not worry about whether it makes money or not. It is a principle I apply to most of the stuff I do in my life. But you're right, they are just doing it to try to win some votes. Not sure it will work though.
  14. And Michael Forsyth. although "buddie" might not be the right word in his case. He always was a khunt.
  15. Aye, not all non doms are the same. I am generalising based on a limited amount of information. You probably know more of them than I do.
  16. The problem is that they don't pay tax anywhere, or at least very little tax. A lot of them are using the UK as a tax haven. I don't blame them. The problem leis with the folk who allow them to do it.
  17. In a similar vein nobody needs to pay the 40% tax rate unless they want to. IMO there is nothing wrong with folk doing what they can to avoid paying tax. In fact folk who don't do it are a bit daft IMO. The problem is with the folk who deliberately legislate to allow themselves and their very, very rich pals to rip the pish out of the system. Poorer folk don't have the option to avoid paying tax to the same extent. It's only the relatively well off folk who can make it worthwhile.
  18. it would never catch them. My dog's only got 2 legs. I feel a country and western song coming on.
  19. I think it's good that they are. At last they are paying attention to us. I have thought for a long time that probably the best way for us to get independence is when they decide they want rid of us.
  20. I get annoyed when folk close my gate. Despicable khunts.
  21. Parred the 2nd though. Come on young man keep it going. Currently tied 38th. I'm sure he would settle for that at the end of Friday.
