    Got my latest one made in Romanes and Pattersons Princes Street - up the stairs - it was about £220 for a medium which I think was more expensive than heavy

    not sure if they do Depeche mode black leather though !

    Haha. Very good

    Cheers for all the info guys.

    I have already got the cloth woven .... Our own family tartan so I will try a few of these for prices.

    Cheers again

    Tax Code

    Thanks guys. Will check my P60 and that site tomorrow. But it looks like I'm due a decent refund, plus, if I'm not mistaken, I should get a 12th of £2,000 every month added to my wage, so about an extra £166. Happy days.

    Wonder how many folks on here will get a refund due to this thread. :D

    Suprised neither of your employers have had a electronic update for your tax code.

    With RTI all employee data goes to them every pay run. Tax code errors and Ni errors are fed back to employers very much straight away.

    ie - all my staff got tax code changes already for this year ( monday ) and student loans today. All direct from the Taxman!!

    When we enter the new tax codes employees get the refunds accordingly. My staff will either be happy or raging this week.

    Quite a lot of chat re June games over the last few days.

    Poland are going to play Greece a few days after their qualifier with Georgia.

    Georgia look like playing Ukraine in Austria before their qualifier.

    BiH are talking about playing Croatia & Switzerland.

    Croatia have confirmed a friendly against Gibraltar and looking to play BiH too.

    Switzerland are looking to play BiH in additon to their confirmed game with Liechtenstein.

    Wales are re considering their much talked about game with Northern Ireland (who have already confirmed a game v Qatar).

    Our other group rivals - Germany confirmed their game v USA months ago as did Ireland v England.

    Surely we will hear something in the next couple of weeks.

    The Poland game is way after the end of the season! weird

    Superb place! one of my favs.

    just wonder and enjoy the town.

    if you have a chance go for a day trip or a few days to Havar! youcan only buy tickets on the day.

    Havar - is superb. All the locals and tourists get carry outs and sit around the harbour at nite time....nice really.

    No matter what you think of this game and i have to say its a bit of a joke AGAIN the SFA dragging out the process not getting the game organised.

    For how many years has arranging a kick aboot been so hard? Or do they like leaving it to the last night every time?

    We should be playing a better team and one that can help the WC draw rankings. We do need a game!!!

    If they want games to make money lets get some better teams and pricing structure for the fans and TV!!!

    I have just booked Avios flights for several more games. Using them up while I can (but still have 200,000 which will lose value massively come April). In the past it has been interesting to use BA for travel as they treated me well and I got lots of almost free flights Avios flights - last 17 or 18 Scotland games (home and away) have been paid for with Avios points at £35 return. I am now booked up for all currently announced games on points. I wont be rushing to get BA flights any more. In the past, the points have been really useful but now worthless unless you go business. Goodbye BA... probably Hello Easyjet at least they do what they say on the tin!

    Aye, just booked up a few cheeky trips. Got Monaco for 9K and £30...bargain!

    Comparing the cost of flights to a European destination if you're just buying a ticket starting from Glasgow and then starting from Heathrow, then the connection from Glasgow sets you back around an extra £30. But book with air miles in future and your connection will cost you an extra 4500 Avios (around £90 worth) plus £17.50 reward flight saver.

    Some reward!

    this is not good.

    need to rethink if avios is worthwhile..... may book a few before changing date

    Interview with Strachan in the Record yesterday and Northern Ireland (described as the strongest of 3 possible opponents) get a mention, with something to be announced next week.

    Also mentions June (with basically a response of "we will cross that bridge when we come to it"..........) and mentions we did ok in Croatia, but the gap is longer this time and hopes that the likes of Blackburn, Derby and Norwich are involved in the championship play off final.

    The more i think about this game against Ireland we need to play 1 or 2 games to keep them sharp. The gap is far too big.

    They were talking last night on TS how Bayern went off the boil at the end of last season as the players switched off after winning the league so early. That got me thinking we should play a game. A very easy tie were we can get some goal scoring practise.

    This one again is our cup final and a win would surely give us the best chance of at least 3rd place.

    We'll at least my flag has not been burnt......friends spotted it on TV in amongst the Polish fans in Tiblisi last night.....maybe they will bring it to Hampden for me

    I was thinking they may see the funny side and bring it over next year.

    Hope you get it back mate.

    Gordon Strachan - Herald Interview

    Another excellent and honest interview from Strachan. You can tell how much the players respect him, no danger of there being another "boozegate" scandal with him in charge.

    helps when the Manager is not holding up the bar also.......and didnt go to bed until the early hours
