@Big Cheese –
Brilliant, but creates disturbing mental images at this time on a Saturday night. I should be out disco-dancing. Instead, I’m hallucinating about certain City Fathers in Francis Bacon contortions…oh, FFS, where’s the Tramadol…
Just finished watching the last in the current series of Borgen, all about how a real Northern European country of 5m people operates politically, and humanly.
@Big Cheese –
Bacon covered all possible permutations. There’s probably a painting in some private collection, worth upwards of £35 million, which would illustrate your point perfectly. I daresay there are probably stashes of images, illustrating similar subject-matter, which are hidden under mattresses or planked away in attics and garden-sheds across the Greater Glasgow area. Sadly, I have no idea what their market value might be right now.
(No matter – give it five, ten years, it’ll all be on Youtube and/or Ebay.)

Are we going to forgo any responsibility for the natives of Diego Garcia? Are we going to allow the Argentinians to apply their ideas to the Falklands? These are the polar opposites of British Foreign, or Empire, policy.
I would argue that all these people deserve our protection. That of an independent and moral country. Which, North of the Border, I expect us to be.
Shortly.
For they sure as hell won’t get fair treatment from Westminster.
I would suggest, dear reader, that we cannot walk away from our joint legacy. It would be to allow Westminster to pretend, as they do, that geography is a determinant of The Mall. Or that they are actually capable. Neither thesis works for me.
Y’know, the closer to London, the more important you are.
Well, until they go their own way, as they should, let’s recognise that these people deserve our protection. For Westminster cares not a jot for them….
I would like to complain and recoup the cost of yet another keyboard, which was damaged by reading the number 6 posting by “Big Cheese”, which resulted in an explosion of coffee all over it, caused by uncontrollable mirth.
Postings of this type should carry a health warning written by J Ballie.
Davy, Wherever a tone needs lowered, I’m always happy to oblige.
I recommend sending an invoice for your keyboard to the lucky guy who just got the half mill payout from the Glasgow Regeneration Agency ‘Charity’, he can afford it! He can simply take it out of another schools budget.

Things have moved on. In Tony Blair’s day they were generally poodles.
Wonder what his policy is on pissing on lampposts? I’m sure it is more coherent than Labour’s Anus Sanwar’s strategy of pissing on Scotland.
I’ve never said this about a red roset wearing mutt before and never will again, “Aw, how cute!”
Alternatively: (Speechbubble) “Thanks for the rosette, now I don’t have to drag my ass along the carpet”.
Man, look at that face…embarrassed or what!

I can’t resist this even though it crosses the line;
It makes a change for a Labour party member to be caught licking his own balls in a public place.

Then a picture of a dug with a red rosette.
Dry boak………..

I cannot spot the difference! Any clues?

The poor dog is probably thinking,’Eh! Whit have I done tae deserve that effin’ red rosette to be stamped to ma chest?’
Unfair tae wee dugs everywhere. Especially Cooncil Dugs. Jasperdug says ‘Is than wan o them shits too?’
I hope someone’s contacted the SSPCA about this inhumane treatment of a dumb animal
Boorach the dog or the owner?
Sort of off topic, I know, however”
Here’s a point for you,
We will be winners, ladies and gentlemen.
Let’s assume we do win in 2014.
Whoop de do! We will be as happy as Larry. We will have won our freedom. There are only details to be discussed.
But.
What about the negotiations that logically follow?
It seems to me that we have as much of a responsibility for the following as Westminster would claim to have:

What is the truth here?
Are we going to forgo any responsibility for the natives of Diego Garcia? Are we going to allow the Argentinians to apply their ideas to the Falklands? These are the polar opposites of British Foreign, or Empire, policy.

Nor us, apparently.

Where’s the sausage rolls?
@Douglas Clark
We should put a claim in for Tristan de Cuhna (part of the St Helena BOT) – it’s capital is called The Edinburgh of the Seven Seas.
Good try, but I’m not fooled! If it wiz a donkey though… 🙂
I wonder if that’s the wee dug which belongs to the sausage roll addict? 🙂
