  1. That montage is a wee bit inaccurate, as well as several DJs on the radio .... Lemmy died in 2015!
  2. They should just do away with Glasgow and Edinburgh airports and build a truly modern international hub at Stirling with Rail Links to both cities and stop them holding eachother back. Hindsight and all that?
  3. Possibly includes children, EU nationals and people who didn't bother to register on the voters roll?
  4. Ha, you can already see Regan thinking..... Limited Poppy Edition Scotland Shirts.
  5. Agreed, the service certainly has got worse since Abelio took over. The amount of times, trains are cancelled or skip stops due to backlog is ridiculous and sending a 3 carriage train for the rush hour Queen Street to Balloch is terrible. I do have a certain amount of sympathy for Network Rail / Scotrail as they get punished for things out of their hands ie. train delays due to tresspassers on the line. As one of my colleagues says "You can't legislate for idiots".
  6. Not taking sides, but the Stephen Lawrence murder was heavily publicised due to race.
  7. To become an Electrician, you require an NC, so am sure the Degree will cover that! You also need the Vocational side, which would likely be an Adult Apprenticeship as there is a work/log book you have to work through and cover certain criteria. My 1st year was full time at college and then remaining two were at my employer's site. Doubt you would be able to become qualified in spare time / part time.
  8. Cavendish taking out the competition - nasty! Commentators keep on saying it was accidental? Might have been, but he definitely knew the Korean lad was there.
  9. Those who voted no in the Independence Referendum due to the economic reasons have just had their fears realised.
  10. Does anyone remember a similar thing to this around 10 years ago in Sweden when they were having a Referendum with regards to adopting the Euro, where Anna Lindh - a politician, was stabbed to death? Still voted to keep the Krona though.
  11. Would this not allow people to gauge people's salaries? Don't know if I'd be happy with people knowing how much I earn, though it would solve the greater issue if tax avoidance.
  12. Wonder how long it will be before some civil servant steps in and calls it "Queen Elizabeth" just like everything else.
  13. Makes sense now with the name and all that ... was hoping someone would dive in and help me!
  14. I have a Ford Focus EcoBoost. Love it. 1 litre Turbo, surprisingly quick, £30 a year road tax, 42mpg and comes with all the Bluetooth gubbins. Only thing I'd say is this passenger footwell space is limited for myself when a child seat is fitted behind.... but I am 6ft6, wife is okay though.
  15. When I was an apprentice spark we got our tools provided to us albeit they weren't the best. For mechanic tools such as socket set, spanners etc. The Halfords Professional range gear is great quality with a lifetime (I think) guarantee and are a good but cheaper than Snap On.
  16. Shares have dropped from £16 at my place to half that in 6 months. Still got a couple of hundred shares left. Trying to stay brave and not flinch!
  17. Played some of the best movie villians of all time! RIP
  18. My first thought when I left the pictures was "I wonder how much Mark Hamilton got paid?".
  19. Why don't the empire ever provide any safety/hand rails in their facilities?
  20. That'll be why he sold out 16 nights at the Hydro then?
  21. Jungle strike was the best of that series, mind the last mission where you had to stop VW Camper vans from ramming the Whitehouse
  22. I honestly detest that statement and pity the people who believe in it. They need to read 1984.
