  1. Aye, Robert Robertson's new band. Going to see them in Dundee next month. Saw both Skippinish and Julie Fowlis in December, both fantastic nights 👍
  2. Sounds good Davy. Probably five or six of us will be looking for this. 👍
  3. Using that calculation, 60% of the 6-pointers would go for it, leaving 142 available tomorrow for those on 5 points. I'm on 6 points, and have just bought mine, so that calculation looks like it's on track.
  4. This. She cannot handle questions at all. Someone tweeted yesterday: if she can't debate, what makes anyone think she can negotiate? Brexit always was a shambles. From a UK perspective it's looking like a disaster.
  5. Marcus is OK. He's made a couple of sporrans for me - they're good quality, and have lasted. What's he done to upset you? If it's the story from a few years ago, that's well in the past now - and nothing to do with sporrans.
  6. I am left with one spare ticket for Christy Moore's Barrowlands gig on Saturday 29th April. [Son has dropped out at last minute] If anyone is interested please pm me - I'll be out all Saturday without internet access, but will pick up pm messages.
  7. I think she looks out of her depth. She snuck into the Tory leadership while idiots and buffoons around her were tripping themselves up. Reportedly she was the last one in her inner cabinet to believe a snap election was the right thing to do, which kind of begs the question - who's really controlling things behind the scenes? Are we falling for the 'Look-at-the-monkey' routine?
  8. Heard Lesley Riddoch, among other speakers (Wee Ginger Dug, Billy Kay, Robin McAlpine, and the English Scots for Indy), at a Yes rally in Dundee yesterday. She reported that some quite high-profile pro-Union commentators are admitting privately that in ten years Scotland will be independent. The issue now is when and how we get there . Behave as if it's true, and you walk taller. Opponents can't dismiss you as easily, and they're already starting to sh*te it. The EU issue is one to be left for later. She offered the possibility of a Nordic-style option, in the EEA but not the EU. The point is we don't have to decide that yet. Lots of things are possible. Indy won't happen without working for it, but it's getting closer.
  9. There's nothing remotely similar about the two walks, however I don't think you're ever going to accept that.
  10. Nobody dressed up (maybe you're thinking of the Passion Play), and there's plenty of books where you can find out about this story. It's about a man who challenged the religious authorities of the day and was put to death, but the twist in the story is that killing him didn't work, and that love (and being nice to people generally) wins out in the end.
  11. Not looking to get my kicks, and not trying to look like Jesus either. Think you're confusing this with a Passion Play. A Walk of Witness is a remembering, and a reminder to anyone who's around, of the story of Good Friday.
  12. Happy Easter, Scotty, when it comes. We had a good Walk of Witness this morning in Perth. Also - travelling to Toronto in June. First pint's on you.
  13. 12 by elections all on the one day? Any precedent for this? If you were the Tories, would you try and stretch UKIP by holding them all together? Would mean Farage and Nuttall couldn't chance it in more than one.
  14. Just looked - 24,000+ with the Greens in second place. Go Greens!
  15. I developed some respect for Kaufmann recently when he came out and said, in essence, he'd changed his mind about how Israel was treating the Palestinians. Haven't time to look for the clip now, but maybe someone knows of it. Re the by-election, what was his majority at the last GE? I imagine he'll have had quite a large personal vote, and that might not stay automatically with Labour.
  16. Well that was my thinking. Used to go and see the women at Livingstone a few times, and in Perth. They deserve some support as they've got to a finals.
  17. This'll wind some people up, I know, but what's the interest in going to see one or two of the group games in the Netherlands this July? The game against Portugal is on Sunday 23rd, which might mean only one day off work. I'm not looking for "I'm no going to see that pish", just an idea of who might be up for going to see a Scotland team play in a finals.
  18. I was gobsmacked by this. She comes out with a stupid, made-up-by-malicious-journalists anti-EU jibe, and nobody laughed at her. It's like a parallel universe where you can talk absolute crap and nobody in the audience notices. DD picked up on it, but the panel didn't.
  19. Happy Christmas to all. Not sure what your point is, Ally. Christ was a child refugee.
  20. Even Wings acknowledges that much of it won't convince No voters; and that's the job we have. Started watching it but ran out of time and haven't gone back to it. We have to be more persuasive than this.
  21. I was surprised that he was in just the three episodes. One of the most memorable characters from three series (I think) of the sitcom. Had a face that did menacing well.
