  1. The HoL could be getting a big influx of Labour ex-MPs later this year...
  2. It'd be interesting to see how much of the council tax share goes on paying off pensions. That must be increasing annually along with life expectancy. At my wife's work (GCC) there have been a number of people retiring recently in their early 50s on gold plated pensions. Nice if you can get a deal like that but it has to be placing a huge strain on funds...
  3. Salmond back on the telly there, discussing the poll on Newsnight...
  4. I'd rather we didn't give any ground on this, but tbh apart from a few people mouthing off I could never see FIFA / UEFA forceably combining 4 associations. Too much hassle for them...
  5. Didn't see that one coming. Surprised at how poor a season it's been for Saints but they are a much better team now McLean is back to full strength...
  6. Think the Scottish holidays start on Good Friday...
  7. Have to admit I ripped that stat from Wikipedia so its veracity can't be guaranteed.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_Parliament_general_election,_2011#Opinion_polls
  8. Sorry to put a dampener on things but can I point out at this stage before the 2011 Holyrood election Labour were 15% ahead of the SNP...

  12. Latest Ashcroft poll has SNP taking 56 seats, including Brown and Darling's old ones. Jim Murphy hangs on by 1% according to the BBC there... http://www.cityam.com/210846/lord-aschcroft-poll-marginal-constituencies-shows-labour-and-tories-neck-and-neck
  13. Our record win is 11-0 v Ireland in 1901 The last time a Scotland player scored a hat-trick also. The year I was born! Shocking record.
  14. The only way this could have sold out at the listed prices would be if it was the final game and we needed a win to qualify...
  15. Yip, appreciate the 3 points are worth the same as in any other game but you've got to take the standard of opposition into the equation on occasions like this...
  16. Katy Clark just quizzed the PM on tax avoidance (he failed to answer the question of course). Scunnered may be some time...
  17. I wouldn't fancy driving a tanker of rocket fuel down the A83 though...
