    Great, a woman’s input ! ( no disrespect guys I appreciate all feedback  ❤️)  

    Can I ask a few questions please Jen.

    Was it Ladies Day last year or the Gold cup ? 

    Was it standard club ticket and if so  did you get a seat? If so how early did you need to be there, eg were you there for opening?   I know i seem obsessed with getting a seat but I have a bad back, ironically for sitting at a desk for too long 🙄

    Now for my next obsession. Was there much of a choice of wine/ spirits or was it just the wee individual bottles of wine  and a plastic cup ? If I get a seat this question is not as important  as I am a generally happier person with a seat. 

    Was the food choice more than scotch pies and hotdogs ?

     Even a sandwich ? 

     

     

     

     

    It wasn't Ladies Day - we were there the day before.

    We were drinking champagne so I can't comment on the wine options. It was proper bottles of champagne but good quality plastic glasses.

    Food wasn't great. You had to go back into the grandstand and it was just the stuff on offer in there. Can't remember what it was but I remember being unimpressed.

    We were there for the start so there were lots of seats available at that time. Filled up pretty quickly though.

    Think it was just the basic club ticket but I'm not sure as I didn't sort them - I'll try to find out.

    WESTA 20th Anniversary Party

    Posted

    The West of Scotland Tartan Army turns 20 this year and to celebrate we are holding an informal gathering at the Iron Horse on Saturday 28 April. We are hoping to spread the message to as many past and present members as possible but many email addresses have changed over the years.

    Tickets cost £10 each including a buffet and a free drink. Entertainment will be provided by an up and coming young Tartan Army DJ but with a few other surprises.

    If you would like to go, please email: jenblackwood@virginmedia.com to secure your place and arrange payment.

    I've had no issues in the Quashqai at all, pretty decent compared to some.cars I've drove in snow

    My mate loved hers so much she had two of them but I just don't like it. I've had it five years. I find if I have to break quickly there's a real clunk like it's metal on metal and I don't feel confident in its ability to stop though it always has done to date. Not helped by the fact the motor of the windscreen wipers failed when I was on the motorway and i had to get myself to a safe place in pouring rain using purely the rear lights of the car in front to guide my direction. Initially I was told it would take four weeks for the part to arrive from Nissan and would cost £250 plus labour to sort.  Thanks to friends on Facebook, I got the part via ebay for half the price and within four days. The guy who came to tow me to a garage said Quashqai's were known for problems with their windscreen wipers. It may just be that I've been unlucky and got a dud version but I definitely won't get one again.

    Which is fair enough but they could have set it up so you could opt in or out on the renewal pages.

    When you renewed, there was a tick box option for receiving information. However, I'm sure I ticked the box and still didn't receive the email.

    In fact he is being brought in to "sort the problems with disclosure of evidence", he was told to feck off cause he wouldn't disclose the shit he was doing!!!

    "Scotland Yard Commissioner Cressida Dick has brought a senior officer out of retirement to deal with the outcry over disclosure of evidence.

    Sir Steve House, former Chief Constable of Police Scotland, who has also previously served with the Metropolitan Police, is being brought in as it reviews hundreds of cases that could be affected by the issue."

    We got rid of Pound cause of disclosure issues, now he is in charge of sorting out disclosure issues in the MET, he's had so much expertise a covering up his own BS he gets a job with the MET to do so.

    Ummm....I know it's a technicality but he resigned from Police Scotland. He wasn't 'got rid of' though granted the political and media pressure at the time might have meant he felt he had no option.

    Aye I've hazy memories of being taken on a detour in the 70s to have a look at some of the slums around the Gorbals being demolished. It was like a different world. You could understand the desire to clear them and start again, but as was shown in the programme some of the magnificent buildings that were sacrificed in the name of progress was insane.  Town planners of the 1960s have a lot to answer for...

     

     

    It could have been even worse if the planners had had the money...the whole centre of Glasgow was due to be flattened and rebuilt with sparkly new buildings.  The only thing that stopped it was the cost. It was a cracking programme - I found it fascinating.
