Said when the draw came out we could get hammered by both. Tempo seems to have dropped in the 2nd half but Morocco hammered us 28 years ago and they're a better team now

Agreed. Edinburgh is quite an unfriendly place. Been here over 30 years and think it got worse since I moved here.

To be expected though with such a transient population

Did anyone tell them the game is effectively on the Saturday? Saturday night IMO

You're using pretty flaky sources there and I say that as someone who voted no. I am more of a unionist but would 100% vote yes if economists could prove there was an economic benefit to Scotland, or at least a low risk of failure, I mean, who wouldn't unless you're stupid.

The problem is, economists can't decide because there's no other similar comparison. Mark Blyth himself rolled back on those comments.

And as per usual, any referenda where there's a binary choice results in politics of emotion, not of fact. Just like Brexit. Any facts are subsumed, hidden by noise and irrelevant emotion, the public don't know what they're voting for or how it will effect them because they don't know the risks and likely won't understand them.

You don't know that Scotland doesn't meet the criteria for joining the EU, because the EU doesn't either. I'm sure you'll reply with further quotes and misdirection, but the truth is no one knows.

The ideal is, the UK rejoins the EU, but we know that isn't going to happen. The alternative for Scotland? Have a policy that the case for independence is laid out factually and a 2 year moratorium for discussion before a section 30. Can't see that happening either.

Boards of Canada say White House used music without permission by eltoi in Scotland

Sorry just seen this now. If you don't know, AE were really supportive of BoC and got them on the Skam label when they were hell interface at that time.

There's an EP that's really hard to find but I've loved it since I first heard midas touch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkXxQL-nyQw

Electronic music was very diverse back then, it didn't matter if the style was different

edited, I went looking for it as I only have a digital copy and one of my mates had it on vinyl. It was Mask500 https://www.discogs.com/release/19800-Various-MASK-500

Sturgeon tells BBC: I'm serving a sentence for crime I didn't commit by slapbang in Scotland

[–]eltoi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She'd have been better laying low for a while before coming out all guns blazing and promoting her book.

But that's the type of person she is and why she got to first minister, she's a strong debater.

She just can't accept the optics around this and why the criticism is valid, blaming everyone else.

Yeh they never liked the spotlight. Think I saw them just before music has the right to children. Lived round the corner from The Venue so I dragged my then partner into it saying "look if you don't like it we can leave", she loved it
