i should add ; that coincidentally talked about gender change ; or whatever the term is now , coincidentally the bill being on the cards this week - aside from the lowering of age from 18 to 16 ; the bigger issue seems to be the lowering of 2 years to 3mths ? for living in that body it seems at least they can raise the income tax again to deal with all the reversal procedures -

am glad you said that ; as i'd thought they done something to the water since i left in 2006 .... was actually having a heated debate with the other half at weekend re all the nonsense thats being forced upon us now ; i was citing the case of the teacher in canada with the size Z ? fake breasts ; and how that would affect the kids etc etc the pendulum is swinging so far to the left , and people wonder why there is so many right wing nut jobs out there now polarization express -
wouldnt this be similar to OF treatment compared to the rest of the also rans in Scotland ? not just TV, but SFA, press etc etc ; where bulk of your audience are only concerned in their interests if you agree with any of the above , do you think would change in any in independence ; aside from more gaelic channel matches , womens football etc

queens became the O Neils ? (the first one in UK i think) - although am thinking it was the tappit hen ruffles ; ive got about 4 guesses at - diamond st / the beach / crown st or shiprow ..... Gs though i was very familiar with ; lounge bar saturday 8.30(pm) sat meeting place before hitting Cousins / just as Joey Harper had sailed .... altho Gs upstairs quite often during the week with work folk town went through a few changes after that ; where different areas became popular for bars - windmill brae / fairly dodgy ; belmont st / bigger student vibe - by late 90s early 2000s , holburn jct & Queens road was as far as we'd travel to town glad i dont have to do it now tbh ....... -

although see there is a firm making Red McEwans IPA now - and to further confuse things / poke holes in my memory ; it is from wikipedia tho .... "the North of England.[22] From the 1960s, the company began to style itself MacEwan's in export markets, in order to make pronunciation easier.[23] The company's McEwan's Strong Ale was the highest gravity beer on general sale throughout the world.[23] McEwan's Export was alternatively sold as India Pale Ale or Scotch Ale overseas.[23] William McEwan Younger retired in 1970.[22]" and they changed the Spelling ! Lead Zeppelin of the brewing world ? What shores ? -

am fairly certain that the earlier version of this was called India Pale Ale - am talking 1970s billboard mental imagery here - decades before the camra and hipster bearded types popularized the IPA revolution -

Thanks ; yeah that makes sense - did think there would be regional variations of it too -

and i thought it was only for auld mannies ..... : ) was working in the palm court 86-87 ' - lots of 'mature' locals - but also West End FC used it as clubhouse - been back a few times in the years past and quite a big difference ; never as busy (tv football aside) even with the fact that loads of pub in that area of city have gone forever ...... -
only saw the first one - but agree ; was a bit suspect to start with ; vapid teens on boat etc , but on landing got into it - just finished Netflix "Dont pick up the phone" 3 part Docuseries ; tough to believe it actually took place - kept thinking all through it ; this could only happen in America .....

i read your earlier post on black & tan ; and this one now is mentioning McEwans pale ale = i do recall there was a green can which was different to the red export one - am pretty sure though in 80s in Aberdeen when i pulled pints (for a year p/t) that a black & tan was a stout & export / or 80' ??? - as a a sweetheart stout and a guinness would be a black & black ? -

I think the definition of poor / poorer etc has changed over the decades ; am sure a lot of people on here grew up on council estates ; no car , no overseas holidays , rental tv if your lucky , although as a whole community- your pals were in the same boat it was normalized- the mums were unlikely to be keeping up with the kardashians either - tupperware / betterware or avon more likely eating out / skip the dishes would of been occasional trip to chipper -
super powers in the kebab shop at closing time.... just finished "two summers' on Netflix - english subtitles of flemish show - really good and SAS Rogue warriors - found it on Amazon prime - i had complained about it based on the preview clips i'd seen ; but hands up , really enjoyed it - am sure theres potential to go through to 80s with Embassy siege etc - altho 90s and Bravo two zero has now been done to death

What a difference 8 years makes!
Auchinyell Sox Change replied to dougiemacfarlanearran's topic in Scotland Home Games
aside from WC 90 games ; and friendlies in USA & Mexico , away support at San Siro was likely best i've seen (even though we were never at the races ) am sure some will think Sweden in Genoa was better thats only six away games ive been too i think ; WC 2026 in N.America may be next chance ..... -
tbh ive only been watching you tube highlights of the games - my predictions on group results were all based on a teams historical reputation ; unlike current form - i hope this comes into play later as i put england down as wc cup winners in our household prediction - based on coming close in 86,90 then at last Euros .... France have impressed the most i think - but they did struggle recently in a 1-1 draw ; think lready qualified tho

fine, you want to play semantics ; the timing of your comment was out of line and you know it -

Quite ironic on the use of “respect”
