Can you read a map? That and a torch are the main things you'll need. But if you're going up some of the higher hills in the Highlands they can be pretty serious in winter - there's a quote that there is no such thing as hillwalking in the Highlands in winter, it is mountaineering. Best way of dealing with the higher hills in winter is to join a club and learn how to use an ice axe, etc.
It's got to be the best way of seeing the country though, a cracking winter day up a hill is heaven.

For FIFA, the great thing about Tokyo is he's already done his time in jail.
I refer you to this educational vido...How is his name pronounced?

GOLD.
A mate of mine has a car that colour. Or as I prefer to say, 'metallic pish'

Had always used my iphone ones but when I moved down to London I couldnt hear a thing on the tube.
These shut out the world
Seconded. I sometimes even use mine to mix music.

Merryn Somerset Webb - me neither.
An exceptionally high ratio of good guys to wanks for question time. Often you are lucky to get even one GG.

If it is democracy we are after, what about an upper chamber filled with randomly chosen punters, kind of like jury service?

Funny you've mentioned that - was just on the SNP Members page on FB and a lot of folk were saying they were getting friend requests / likes from Labour folk.
It's the way Facebook marketing works - Facebook will have worked out you've got a profile as being interested in politics, so when Labour pay Facebook to spam politically interested people in Scotland, you get hit for requests.

The Scottish LibDems are a more despicable version of their UK brethren, and that's quite an achievement. They've got long list of ex-leaders and idiots that probably typify and personify limp-wristed Unionism deference more than any other party. Nicol Stephen, Tavish Scott, Willie Rennie... the very definition of dying Scottish Unionism.
Can't believe you missed Jim Wallace off that list of shame.

I don't think there is any law that says the PM even has to be an MP.

Evel is pretty minor In itself but just adds to the anomolies in the union. Only federalism can save the union now.
Interestingly that is what the Scottish negotiators wanted in 1706, but the English representatives wouldn't have it.
Seems like they still dont...

Wonder if this time too we will have to endure another 18 years of a government we never voted for before getting another crack at it.

The OP is correct in that it was the one result v Georgia that ultimately fecked us. Why is anyone having any problem with this? Other results (Ireland taking 4 out of 6 against Germany) were out of our hands. As far as our own performances go, it was Georgia away.

Ask Govanhill Jacobite. Has gone downhill a bit in the last few years.

That's some run! I'd be pleased with 24hrs for that - and that *without* the hills.

I suspect that this time round I am like the 'low information voter' who swung it for No in the indyref. I don't really know much about the pros and cons of the EU but my gut feeling is to stay in. I might read up on it and be swayed for withdrawl, but to be honest, unlike Scottish self-determination, I don't really care either way. I'll probably ignore all the publicity and go into the voting booth and vote to stay without really being able to say why beyond a vague 'better to be in the club' sentiment.
For the leave campaign to get the likes of me to vote out, I would need two things - one, a disgust of the EU, which could perhaps be generated through verified and heavily propagandised tales of systematic corruption and waste, and two, a love of the UK as an autonomous unit - good luck with that second one.

Great british spit-roasting?
Great British Pig .
That should at least keep the Muslim contestants away, which would please the Telegraph, Mail and Scotsman.

Germany not walking the group as expected also done for us. Had they won every game as they were expected to do and had done in the last couple of qualification campaigns then we would be still very much in this.
Aye. I blame Germany for letting us down.
That and our own failure in Tblisi.
-
Very disappointing end to the group. Georgia away was the biggest kick in the guts. And who would have seen Ireland beating Germany. Fair play to them, 4 points against the world champions, they deserve to be in the mix. Strachan for me for the next campaign. Can't see anybody else doing better right now.

Someone on there saying no one has been murdered by a legally held weapon in the USA since the twenties....
A legally held, fully automatic rifle apparently... which may well be correct. What amuses me is the complete lack of acknowlegement of the general principle. Instead the commenters dive straight in on the technical details of the weapons featured, thus in their eyes invalidating the entire argument.
