Frankie Boyle summed up audiences well when at the Dome a few years ago there was a sharp intake of breath by the audience on a joke he said about the McCanns. He stopped and said something like "you lot are the sick ones as I have given offensive comments / jokes about the Pope, date rape etc...
Whilst watching Scotland's magnificent performance against the mighty Canada last night!! I was highly impressed with Tom Cairney again - when we get promoted he has to be one of the purchases we make
70 is only the start, I attended a future strategy trend last year where the prediction is children born today will not retire until at least 75, the NHS has to change radically (needs to actively manage your health not react to your sickness), euthanasia was also raised. By the way it is more...
Personally always been a unionist, don't like either of the krankies but after brexit and listening to May sound so patronising this week ( can't believe she made Thatcher sound more positive to Scotland and I've stood on terracing of Hampden with 60,000 singing vitriolic songs about her - so...
Why should we not have the chance to re-vote, the rules have changed - the Brexit decision has made a huge difference to everything. Scotland did the first big change against the Westminster political system with the decimation of Labour in 2015, we got rid if the Tories in 1997 (a generation...
I have interviewed on numerous locations at various levels. If you turn up without suit and tie - then don't bother (I hate ties and only wear them fur funerals et al), and polish your shoes (sounds basic but you'd be surprised). If they aren't wearing ties this still doesn't give you a reason...

I sat beside one of the judges ( the old one, Les?) off strictly come dancing on BA flight from Glasgow a few years ago, I had no idea who he was. My daughter (aged 9 at the time) tries to tell me discretely who he is in the way only a nine year can by whispering so loud I felt the whole plane...
Would have said Black Sabbath but just got home from O2 so ticked that off my list. So it must be Nirvana - had tickets for Brixton Academy just before Kurt committed suicide. For wish I hadn't must be Fish at Concorde2 a couple of years ago it ruined the memory of great gigs from 80s/early90s.
you can beat a good Burns supper: friends, whisky, good food (what more can you ask for than a sheeps stomach full of offal and barley!!!) and English people trying to recite poems in the old Scots language ( most would more chance of understanding it if it was in Mongolian!). Anyway here's to...
I did the speed awareness course a few years ago, got done doing 60mph in a 50 zone ( speed limit had only been changed two weeks earlier - so not best pleased!) On the course they tell you that nearly every loophole in the law has now been closed so that if you get caught you are highly...
