  1. I'm astonished you think that. I thought Ross Draper had some brilliant plays, sometimes tempered by following it up with pìsh - overall though, he was a big nett contributor. Aaron Doran likewise. Today, the name used (umprompted) by most neutrals I've spoken to is Draper's.
  2. "Winning isn't everything. There should be no conceit in victory, and no despair in defeat."
  3. Crowne Plaza eh? I refuse to stay there since Intercontinental merged with Holiday Inn.
  4. Any win against Hibs will guarantee top six.
  5. Dave Stewart MSP, for example, is part of the parliament, but he's not a minister. The figures you show are about assets and liabilities, not about profit and loss. The full accounts for the last five years are available at http://www.hial.co.uk/about-us/annual-report-amp-group-financial-statements/
  6. He was the ref at the semi. Good or bad? you decide!
  7. Good suggestion Alex but this company is owned entirely by the Scottish Government, so there is no chance of them giving over taxpayers money as sponsors. The company is owned by the Scottish Parliament but is run as a Private Ltd Company and I believe the taxpayers money that went into saving the company and the airports has been recovered long since. This company operates in the black and is making decent profits. Bearing in mind that advertising generates income I dont think the parliament would object to some of the profits being used for such purposes. Besides advertising budgets are tax deductable so it would mean a little less going to the UK treasury. From hial.co.uk: Highland and Islands Airports Limited (HIAL) is a public corporation wholly owned by the Scottish Ministers. The company operates and manages 11 Airports at Barra, Benbecula, Campbeltown, Dundee, Islay, Inverness, Kirkwall, Stornoway, Sumburgh, Tiree and Wick. HIAL's airports are vital to the social and economic welfare of the areas they serve, but are loss making, and are supported by subsidies from the Scottish Government in accordance with Section 34 of the Civil Aviation Act 1982.
  8. Think 6 points out of 9 makes this a decent week for us no? Ask me that question again after the next three games. Kingsmills I'm obviously a half full glass kinda girl whilst you're a glass half empty guy ha ha? Top 6 almost confirmed and agreed a big couple of weeks to come. Bring it on! Not quite girl. We need 4 wins and a draw to be sure of that. If we win against Hibs, we need one more point to guarantee top six.
  9. Yo Sushi! or Wagamama. Maybe if they merged, we could have Yo Mama!
  10. The Northern lights of Old Aberdeen Mean S**** F*** A** to me The Northern lights have long gone out 'cos it's not '83
  11. She's signed a PCA with Iain Vigurs?
  12. A different team :-q
  13. But it's nearly two miles from McDiarmid Park! Anyway, it's a different game - they don't have gates, and they can FRO.
  14. If it's anything like the the semi, I just hope there's some space left in the singing/swearing/gesticulating/jumping section.
  15. Wouldn't you just love to open up on them match officials? Is that a lemon man popping up from behind the wall?

    Yes, I had his tweets page open, left my PC for a half-hour, and it was gone when I came back. Either someone's had a word, or the account's been suspended.
  17. You started off so well with the team selection, but you've just gone downhill since then. :-( :-)
  18. I know I'm replying to you with an 11 hour delay George, but F*** right off, and please post a picture and your address.
  19. Not a steal at all! I am more than happy to donate it. (Come to think of it, the title was Dougie McGilvray's idea anyway!) I've just come up with a new word: "plagiarism". :-p Edited because: Added tongue-in cheek smiley for FS.
  20. Side note: was that you shuffling along row J - around 80s-90s?
  21. I think they call it serious foul play Serious foul play is that cheat John Beaton thinking he is actually a referee Looking at it from behind (and left of) the goal, I said "he's off" immediately. A few others around me knew it too. I don't know exactly what he saw, but in this case, from his angle, we thought he reasonably thought it was a red card (I reserve the right to change my opinion once I've seen it on TV). I still think that Beaton, and to a lesser degree, the far side assistant, were a wee bit pish.
  22. He's gone too I think AVB knew he was going when he did this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Sv4Yrvsge0
  23. Indeed, although I actually left them out deliberately because none of their former players have gone on to manage ICT (as he went their after his 2nd spell with us). Nah, you're right Yngwie - the way you phrased the question means you can leave as many as you like out.
  24. Chris - it's from 6 ­1/2 years ago! It may not have been hindsight, but it is now!
  25. Thanks Don! I thought about searching this thread out earlier (I didn't actually join CTO until a few weeks later) but Mr Glenlivet from Costco said "too much concentration required", so I'm glad you dug it out.
