In fairness to central belt there are many kids of today missing out on great times due to their parents stance on what happened in 1690 and 1921. Many local clubs miss out on local fans for all the wrong reasons.

The one problem is that most Lords are ex MP's or people who lived very sheltered out of touch with reality lifestyles so know precious little about most things. The current perliament does have a system of using professionals to held with what they dont know about. Its the committee system.

Performance of SNP MPs in Westminster
Alex MacLeod replied to culduthel's topic in Serious Discussion
The one thing that you miss in your statement DD is that many people voted against total independence but, had there been a third option, would have voted for FFA. I actually believe its those non SNP people who will demand a new referendum and not actually the party members. Every statement made is based on anti SNP views and not pro electorate. -

Did the SNP win an overwhelming majority of Scottish seats in UK parliament? Did SNP state in their pre-election manifesto that they were opposed to a referendum on EU membership? Did the electorate use their vote based on party manifesto? Wouldn't voting for a referendum be going against the manifesto and, therefore, the electorate who used their vote based on that manifesto? It beggers belief the number of people who base their viewpoints on the written press of this country. A press that spouts whatever crap it believes the punter wants to read. Right now its all about oil and rubbing the SNP nose in the price fall. I've been in the industry for 37 years and have seen numerous oil price crashes in that time. This last period the price had gone way over the top before crashing but even at that it will recover. The Arabs will only sit still for so long. They will boost their own wealth and they will control and upward pricing. That said, this country of ours has always been one of wealth. We were one of the richest countries in the world pre-1707 hence the reason the English pushed for union and the handful of very rich Scots sold us out. We are still one of the richest countries as far as market share of exports goes. Our problem is that we've been bled for the last 300 and more years and we cant seem to realise that eventually we'll be bled dry and then dropped like a hot stone to sort ourselves out. -
Aye they did Charles. Every weaving machine they smashed up had to be rebuilt.

St Johnstone chartered a plane last year and sold seats to fans. They have indicated doing the same this time. They use a travel company called TMG Sport

St Johnstone are back in training now. They play away to Glenavon on 24th June then are home team at Glebe Park Brechin for game against Aberdeen on 28th. I'd imagine we'll be back in training soon.

CET is one hour ahead of UTC. (Winter times) CEST is one hour ahead of BST (Summer times). The above is wrong, in that most of Europe are in CEST and not CET, though the outcome is correct. Anyone want to know the world time zone abbreviations can go here http://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/ European countries using CET in the winter and CEST in the summer Albania Andorra Austria Belgium Bosnia-Herzegovina Croatia Czech Republic Denmark (mainland) France Germany Gibraltar Holy See/Vatican City Hungary Italy Kosovo Liechtenstein Luxembourg Macedonia, Republic of Malta Monaco Montenegro Netherlands Norway Poland San Marino Serbia Slovakia Slovenia Spain - except Canary Islands, which are on WET in winter and WEST in summer Sweden Switzerland

Damned if we look to lower leagues and damned if we dont. Personally I like to think the club is best placed to know what they are doing. We have signed many players from lower leagues before and some have even turned out to be excellent for us.

Of those still alive I believe half are very disappointed Celtic never got the treble and the other half are unhappy The Rangers are not getting to Premiership

Scrap it. We dont need a second chamber and we certainly dont need the cost of running such. The people elected to run the country should be the only ones accountable and not a battery of aged, uninterested, so called, Peers taking a lot of payment for falling asleep in chamber.

Performance of SNP MPs in Westminster

It's even worse than that. In opposing the bill, Salmond argued that no one believed Cameron wanted to take the UK out of Europe and therefore agreeing to the referendum was simply to appease Tory back benchers. He said that major constitutional referendums should be held on a proposition, honestly held. What complete and utter hypocrisy! By the same token you could argue that Cameron should never have agreed to the independence referendum because he does not want to take Scotland out of the UK. I don't recall Salmond opposing that one! Salmond is all too keen to let the people have their say when he thinks there's a chance he might get what he wants, but not when he thinks there is a chance he might get something he doesn't want. At least Cameron had the guts to allow the people of Scotland to have their say on Independence and has the guts to allow people to vote again on Europe after 40 years despite the fact he did not want change on either issue. It is called democracy. But as I have pointed out before, the SNP are not interested in democracy, they are just interested in getting their way. Like most people in Scotland I will vote for the UK to remain in the EU and I welcome the opportunity to affirm that at the ballot box. By trying to deny the people of Scotland the opportunity to exercise their democratic right to vote on this issue the SNP rabble at Westminster are clearly not speaking for the people of Scotland. I have no doubt that the people of Scotland will continue to be as poorly represented by Salmond's clones as they were today. The SNP are following their manifesto which clearly implies Scotland stays in Europe. They have not voted against a referendum being held. What they did vote against was the way this referendum would be conducted. They want to show the differences in attitude between the different countries that make up the UK by holding seperate referendums for each country. The arguements will continue and eventually a referendum will be held and will be supported by the SNP and all other parties. Meanwhile I, for one, expect our elected members to argue and ensure the correct way forward is acted on. -

Maybe the reaction to Drew Hendry just shows the number of Rangers fans turning out to support ICT. -
I think I've paid for self and Aileen. Links wouldn't work for some reason but done it through STORE on menu bar above.

I believe their registered office is actually in Perth. Someone really does need to start a Facebook/Twitter campaign urging a boycott of their facilities and companies and shops which franchise out their car parks to them. Absolutely nothing in the rules to say you yourself can't start a campaign Charles.

Funny you should mention that. They took over Perth's main multi-storey a few months ago and there has been a lot of local press coverage about their practices. A few days ago I was absolutely fuming when I got one of their £60 demands, knowing that I had fully paid, hadn't overstayed or anything like that. It's one of those places that uses number plate recognition cameras, and you enter your reg when paying at the machine. In our case, we visited the car park twice in the same day, afternoon and the evening, buying separate tickets each time. It seems that their system cannot cope with that! The charge they sent correctly showed us arriving at 2pm and leaving at 9pm, but with no mention of what happened in between! They must know about this flaw in their process and could easily check either the cameras or the payment records to prevent issuing incorrect charges, but they just seem to chance their luck. The other scandalous thing is that they didn't issue the notice until 12 days after the event. With computerised matching etc, there's no reason why they couldn't do this within a day or two, but it is very convenient for them to wait until most people have chucked away their receipts and are left feeling they have no choice but to give in to the threats. Luckily for me, after going through a bin bag, I found the receipts. This proof has been emailed to a local councillor and the local MP who were compiling evidence against this company. Also sent to Trading Standards, and I'll have a look to see if there is an industry body that Smart Parking are supposedly approved by. I still have to respond directly to this inappropriately named company, having stopped myself from replying in the heat of the moment with just 3 words, the first one being "Go..." I also know of people who have driven through the St Catherine's (Halfords's etc.) car park to go from Morrison's area to Crieff Road and made the return journey later in the day, never having stopped in the car park, but have been ticketed.
