You do realise that the SNP has balanced their budget every single year right?

Any idea when we should expect info on it? Yeah....as soon as possible. I'm not sure my Credit Card can wait much longer

I've obviously misunderstood something. It was the "Red Tories" Sturgeon wanted to lock out of Downing street! No wonder you are all so happy. Didn't you notice she said if a lot when she talked about what could happen after the election..... if as in if the Tories can't cobble together a majority and if Labour and the rest of the left parties can? The SNP has always said that they would try to put some spine into NuLabour whether that was in power or in opposition. It happens to be in opposition. Maybe this time round, the Tories will actually have one, then. However the Tories will have to watch their rebels, as their majority is a lot less than they had with the coalition, with just the DUP and UKIP, and if the LibDems finally want to commit suicide, them, to help out if they have rebels. Stu on Wings is having an "I told you so" moment and is reminding us that he said a year ago that the Tories would win in 2015, unless something dramatic happened. http://wingsoverscotland.com/bleeding-obvious-confirmed/ and nothing dramatic did. Murphy is sounding like IM Jolly on the radio...but he's not going anywhere soon, it appears.........at least not willingly. The Tory vote has gone up.and the anti-Tory vote has gone up more.........the winner in this election was the FPTP system.....time to get rid of it! Cameron is saying he'll govern as the party of one nation...is that not what he was meant to be doing from 2010 until now........or has he finally redefined one nation to include more than just the city state of London? If so, deep joy! It'll be interesting to see how NuLabour will behave in Westminster...and whether their SNP hatefest will continue, or if they can work together in opposition. I wouldn't however, like to see the SNP voting against any decent policies from the Tories just because they came from the Tories. Cutting off nose to spite face has never been a clever thing to do. Cameron says he will govern as One Nation. He seems to changed his tune. First it was "We Love you Scotland please stay" then it was the whole "English votes for English laws" nonsense straight away, which by the way, is going to be insanely difficult to actually implement. The whitewash of the Smith Commision (with all Tax Raising powers offset by a reduction in the block grant) then during the campaign we were only allowed to have a say if we voted for the right party, and now he is back to loving us again. Crazy. I will be interested to see if the SNP stick to their rule of only voting on things that affect Scotland, or if they break it. I, for one, would be disappointed if they did break it.

I agree on that. Perhaps if the SNP had properly accepted the referendum result and ruled out a 2nd referendum for the time being whilst campaigning for electoral reform as the price for supporting a labour government, voters in England would have been more inclined to vote labour. But no. The SNP is not into the politics of progressive reform as it claims, it is into the corrosive politics of confrontation and division. It was always a Tory Government that the SNP wanted because a Tory Government unfettered by Lib Dem restraint will harden grievance in Scotland and increase the clamour for a 2nd referendum. Well, we have got a Tory Government now and we can expect a period of acrimonious, confrontational politics. A good day for the SNP maybe but a sad day for Scotland. Do you have some sort of device that can read peoples minds or something? It is amazing how many clairvoyents have suddenly sprung up out of the woodwork claiming to know what the SNP really want and what they are really like. I suppose that you claim that 50% of the Scottish electorate are also gullible for being "taken in by these charlatans"?

Exactly. And if you notice, every party apart from the SNP were the ones banging on about it.

The Lib-Dems are anti-Tory? The last 5 years doesn't seem to support that statement. EWS... the election is over so you don't need to keep fighting it - hence don't need to keep trying to convince us that everybody who isn't SNP is actually a Tory. You can safely return that kind of rhetoric to the opposing sides of the Old Firm. But certainly the expected good night for the SNP and even though they won't get the opportunity to influence government, they do seem to have the bonus of an even more unfettered Conservative government than before - which they can use to stir up even more discontent. I'm not trying to convince anyone that those who aren't SNP are actually Tory, I've never made a statement ever to that effect. In fact, there are a lot of good, non-SNP politicians who have lost their seats tonight (Charles Kennedy being but one of them). But to try and paint the Lib-Dem as not being part of the Tory block completely ignores the last 5 years when the Lib Dems were in cahoots with the Conservatives and did all manner of damage to the UK (in my opinion). You also have to look at what Clegg was saying in the run up to the election first saying he wanted to be part of a Tory government (when they were winning), than saying he would join the Labour (when they were winning) and then flip flopping all over the place. And the electorate looks like it has agreed. They have destroyed the Lib Dems because of what they have "accomplished" in government seeing them as no better than the Conservative party, so instead of electing Lib Dems they have just switched to Conservative, in England at least, and then in Scotland have said "No Thanks".

The Lib-Dems are anti-Tory? The last 5 years doesn't seem to support that statement.

Bit ironic that Sturgeon pledged to "lock David Cameron out of Downing Street" but has actually given him another 5 years there! Not just directly by taking seats in Scotland, but more by the effect it had on middle Englanders who understandably weren't keen on the idea of nationalists with just a few % of the vote pulling the strings of a weak Labour government. Bollocks. Even if every seat went to Labour they wouldn't have enough for a majority. In fact, SNP winning has increased the anti-tori block, because it has got rid of the Lib-Dems. Don't blame "poor wee Scotland" for the UK returning a Conservative government, blame England. Labour failed to win the argument in England, that is why they aren't in Government.

Is using a VPN actually illegal? I'm not so sure.

Not yet, there are still tickets available in D5

That won't work unless he is using a VPN to connect, as iPlayer will block him because of his IP.

I'll possibly be there with 11 others.

Any idea when we should expect info on it?

Brilliant! You couldn't make this up! The comparisons just become clearer and clearer. So what are the SNP going to do before they come to lynch me? Put in my wiondows? Burn copies of Against all Odds in the high street? Paint a St George's Cross on my door? (That, of course, is if I fail to take your standard advice and follow Albert Einstein out of the country.) You've clearly misunderstood what I was saying.

You are actually deluded. Actually completely and utterly senile. Charles, you might as well just leave the country now if this is honestly what you believe because obviously what you are doing here is painting every single member of the SNP, every single supporter of the SNP and every single voter of the SNP with a brush so insanely vile that if you truly believe it then one day they will hunt you down and lynch you. My God, I have never read anything so utterly ridiculous.

From what I can remember off the top of my head. Killie three times (twice young guys got chucked out for making atmosphere, third time can't remember much) Ayr twice (Cup match on Sky where we were doing the Conga. Also my first introduction to Caley Away via the Coiamobile and the game where we won the 1st Division) St Mirren twice (We've got Marius Niculae, you've all got E-Coli) Motherwell twice as well (or maybe three) Rangers twice (1-1 with Prunty scoring last minute, other one was 1-0 during PLG's reign) Celtic twice (including a horrible 5-0 drubbing) Partick Thistle twice (Cup on Valentines day and one other) Livingston twice (including when we relegated them) Hibs once Stirling once Greenock once Aberdeen once (a freezing cold new years day 0-0) I think that's about it. There might be more.

Every figure I have seen is quoting £3m for Calum Wilson.

Typical of the sick Mail. If this hospital had been built from within budgets in Carlisle it would have been screamed from the top of the Beacons. No, instead lets decry those vile Scots for having the audacity to build something from public funds. Cost of this hospital £1 billion. Amount of taxes Scotland paid to UK treasury over what we recieved in Barnet since Cameron came to power £27 billion. The facts are that we are seeing better value and better use of funding north of border than is happening in England and the people in power dont like it. It makes them look very stupid and ill adviced. The other thing you have to remember is that it was done under budget AND early. Even more so was that she was the Health Secretary when it was happening. An incredible achievement. I just wish that we had something like that over in NI, instead we have A&E's struggling to cope and a report saying that they should be closing more hospitals.

Aye, but the distance from the stand behind the goals to the pitch is so far, you might as well be singing in the car park.

Why would you want to be behind the goals?

Well Alex, apparently these prices were reached as a result of discussions between Falkirk and ICT so maybe we have to look inwardly here.
