Good book isn't it Jah? I only drank bourbon whiskeys before I read that


i did a 10 day road trip in Scotland a few years back - one of my favourite holidays that was - right through the midlands. By the time I got to Oban I felt I had reached Gotham City we had been so isolated

Keef man, if you're going to Scotland, it's WHISKY - no e, that's fighting talk that is.


I'm torn about Scotland: it gave me pneumonia but it also gave me fine single malts, and it is kind of beautiful.


I'm very excited about this book though - Sean my dear, you got a copy going for a lend?

That's exactly the sort of shabby Jock tactic I've come to expect from a tarten turd such as yourself Ted. I find it disturbingly ironic that Holyrood see's it fit to release a terrorist but wont release a beautiful and majestic animal such as a wolf into it's remote wilderness.


It's a pity as I'd quite like to read about grouchy, inbred crofters being bitten by a Wolf.

I'm with MP.


Americans are hysterical. As in disordered.


Their crazy take on a Cuban booking at a Scottish hotel not so long ago? An attempted boycott of Scottish firms.


More Islay malt and Talisker for us. Bring it on.

Scots are comparable to women. When they are good, they are very very good. When they are pissed off, stay the ?$*$ away from them.


If you're a Scottish gal (like myself) then we're double lucky because we get away with twice as much. :o)


Otherwise we'll just give you a 'glasgae' kiss

Not to mention that their so called 'boycotts' are pretty lame, with the whole 'freedom fries' thing they didn't actually stop eating them, just renamed them. What did they seriously expect the French to do?

Say "sacre bleu, the Americans have stopped calling their fried chips 'French Fries', we don't actually make them in France or get any money for the name 'French Fry' but we better bow to their demands and fall to our knees to kiss their feet"

Didn't quite a bit of funding for the IRA come from the States, namely those who claim to be 'Irish Americans', or is that just an urban myth?

      Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.

      A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
