thistle do nicely

Adidas shirts in 86 were made from really nice material, they were un ironable though, my maw melted two of mine. Who even irons football shirts

Aye alright I take it back, alcoholics put everyone else first, and don't piss their families savings up the wall. Back to your ivory tower and shout generalisations at anyone that doesn't agree with you. Minimum pricing per unit will hit supermarket cheap drink, so the only people to benefit will be those that already sell alcohol at higher than the minimum unit cost i.e. pubs and more expensive end drink distilleries and brewers. Its a stealth tax on the people that can drink responsibly while putting pressure on the people with alcoholics in their families. If the government gave a rats arse they'ed start proper education. I wouldn't be so annoyed if they were honest and said they were just raising tax or the country as a whole might benefit and put in some health economics to prove their point, but its the claim they are trying to help the vulnerable with no backup. Scotland and Ireland are pushing the demon drink angle while bragging about whisky exports at the end of each year. Total hypocrites.

Total generalisation How about we state that anyone with an interest in minimum alcohol prices 1. Has a personal stake in the higher end (maybe whisky?) alcohol industry 2. Has a political conflict 3. Feels that if you are rich you can do what you like, while the poor aren't allowed to partake in drink or eat sugar

I've actually worked with medical groups that do this research and similar for sugar. They always claim poor people are more likely to eat/drink crap. However alkies often call themselves alkies for ever that happen to be on the wagon. i.e. a drink away from addiction. This isn't like a sugar tax where eventually sugary food will be as expensive as healthy food so a change is possible. If you live with an alcoholic that doesn't care about anyone else they will still spend to get where they want to be whatever the cost. The research you mention is interesting but could also be explained by pissed up students not buying as much reducing the acute alcohol problems and a reduction in the middle class bottle of wine a night types giving themselves liver disease. The info doesn't say anything about the demographics affected.

So when the alkies that put their booze before their weans have to pay more, there will be even less money in the purse for food. Well played scottish government that's protecting the vulnerable all right. Guess what? they're addicts! Sounds all proactive and forward thinking though, nice headlines and that.

He should have "I thought he was already deed" on his gravestone

Deid yet?

She is full of vitamin c and no added sugar or colouring I'm here all week, try the fish

Well that answers my question then! Thanks! I think the broons might have had a porridge drawer as well..

If you are old enough to have watched the mary whitehouse experience its just your subconscious flashing back to the milky milky man, don't think he was child catcher scary though...

Loads of folk in my work microwave their porridge and seem to like it - probably cos they've never had my sweet sweet milky stirred from the start porridge extravaganza. My kids always moan when poor mammy makes her poor relation version. It is bogging though. Love a good spurtle but its no the best for dishing out - serious design flaw

Right we've all been told milk in porridge is soft and English etc etc. and true Scots eat it with manky salt and water Assuming our starving ancestors made it, I really doubt they wouldn't use milk for extra nutrition, I mean if you are desperate enough to add blood and invent black pudding, adding milk wouldn't be a stretch. So can any oldies remember if porridge was made with milk before the war years and milk shortages? Yes it would appear I don't have much to worry about!

I'm no big city lawyer, but if you expect the jury to believe; a) you have no mirrors b ) you didn't go straight in to brush your teeth like a normal guy in the pathetic attempt to stop a mouth disease c) you didn't brush your teeth to hide the smell of booze from your work d) didn't steal the story from "the boys" graphic novel Then surely you are such a maukit tramp you wouldn't actually feel that embarrassed by being a stank? The Prosecution rests it's case

Will Aberdeen fans still be allowed to go on about playing in the supercup after brexit?

Report in the guardian I'm saying nothing

well done!

Did you change the type or the amount?

Have you tried having a bowl of hard sweets sitting about? They only have a calorie or so each so if you can stick to one and suck it for ages without crunching through the whole lot, it can distract you. Sometimes you might just be thirsty or bored, have a big drink of water or a cup of green tea first then go for a walk. Try and keep an eye on what you are actually eating in case it is having a negative effect just in case it is the type of food and not the guilt making you down.

I've an HPR and basically the breeders want it to be square, its not really a safety thing

judging by the stretch over the fat goalie gut, it'd be a good shirt for the shoplifting partick fans

Well Murray thought his 30K was more important than Airdrie's history, so he probably won't mind losing his titles. Especially since he felt we taking advantage of his good nature. As such a lovely "do the right thing" kind of chap, he'll probably volunteer to hand them back

Arf, if you are so skilled in his welfare why ask the crazies on here how to prepare? Wee brag the wee man is off to the match with his da maybe? Good to teach him to leave early anyway, he'll break your heart eventually and start supporting Rangers and he needs to get away early "to avoid the traffic" like 30% of rangers fans... Honestly not having a dig at you now, but sitting at a match is different from being out and about at the beach, even for adults, at least we can drink watery bovril and try and convince ourselves its making a difference. Brrr. My daughter was about 6 and was only interested in the hot dogs and probably forgot she was there within a year We missed the first 5 mins, a goal, a red card and left at half time, 15 euro each well spent. At least we went to see a team on a summers night beside the seaside, so we went for chips and a walk on the beach afterwards. At least she enjoyed it at the time, I think if you went to a winter match there is a risk you could sicken them off it for a good while.

Want yer arse kicked taking a wean out in the middle of winter to watch their first match. You wouldn't sit them on a park bench for 2 hours in this weather - but at least you'll have something to brag about in the office on Monday Kids haven't the attention span to get past half time or the second round of snacks and he'll be too worried about disappointing daddy to ask to take his frozen body back home. Poor show sir! Better waiting for a summer's day or evening and watching a match you don't care about missing most of.

I liked how they just made up fairytales about what was happening in orkney and Chris Packham basically pointed out that it was difficult to know what people were thinking based on archaeological evidence you could find. That was the end of that conversation. Flouncy ##### trying to steal other peoples hard work as if he had dug it all up himself himself.
