Not everyone on benefits is ‘dodgy’ mate, and of course there would be costs, training, vetting etc Perhaps then just portering or wipe oldies shit up in care homes ? Or even working holistically - put them to work on building a new clinic someplace ? Perhaps even train them a useful skill ? You ha...

What are the arguments against getting folk on benefits to do a couple of days community work a month? Cost is one I'd imagine Not sure the idea of having 'civilian conscription' into the NHS is a good idea! Jimmy Saville springs to mind! Patient and individual safety, patient confidentiality, cost...

It's complicated indeed. The NHS is a fucking basket case ATM. I had the misfortune to go to A&E recently and it was a fucking horrific experience. Waited for ages in an archaic system,given misdiagnosis by coçky nurses who weren't qualified to do so. Serious issue. It ls not fit for purpose. I...

Cooking properly neutralizes that difference anyways. As long as McChlorine burgers and chickens were sold with a big US flag and 🤮 next to it, I’d have no problem having on sale in the Uk as will give consumers a better choice between cheap and nasty, or pricey & nicey. But doesn't erase it be...

They have proof that the Higher ups were in it if not at the helm. (pretty much all the leadership were indicted and convicted). This was done to fund the party and refloat their finances. other cases like Fillon were punished heavily too. on the other case judged recently there is an appeal from t...

Interestingly the government are fighting and winning battles with ‘the blob’, first abolishing NHS England and now having forced the scrapping of two tier sentencing guidelines. They abolished NHS England on the basis of the Darzi report FFS. It was always deemed to be unnecessary and inefficient ...

Well that's me done my 3 months/90 days off the bottle! I will have a wee drink tomorrow night to celebrate. Not as long as some of you guys have achieved but Ive hit my target. Diet and exercise regimes also going well and I have stuck to both. Diet is to eat about 1800'ish calories a day, mostly v...

Played today in glorious spring sunshine! At last the weather is getting warmer, just as the shanks return! Oh well the season can only get better, playing Dunbar tomorrow!

Edinburgh Rugby has issued the following squad update ahead of Friday’s EPCR Challenge Cup Round of 16 tie with Emirates Lions at Hive Stadium (4 April, kick-off 8pm).

Nothing wrong with chlorine washing chicken, what is wrong is that even after doing it has a lot more bacteria than chicken that hasn't been chlorine washed in Europe due to our higher standards. Aren't they having issues with eggs at the moment due to bird flu? Cooking properly neutralizes that di...

Don't think there is anyone in the entire political field who is capable of doing the Chancellor's job judging by the last few years. Well Sunak was probably the most competent but chose to run the economy for the benefit of his family mostly Not with the self imposed tax restraints. I said before ...

Bought myself SMWS membership just over a month ago as a birthday present to myself. Tbh it's as much to have somewhere private to go for Sunday lunch occasionally or pop into when I'm in TOWN (the food is really good). But I got an interesting bottle with my membership, Afternoon Banana, 14yo from...

He wasn't expected to deal with every case by himsel...

Saw Duhan went off with an injury. Did it look like a bad yin? It did, he was limping heavily on an ankle Well, at least he could weight bear. Should have enough recovery time for the Lions (can’t see him not being picked if fit) I'm not sure we get much out of VdM in these games against the likes ...

Of course they have ... FFS!!!!!!!

This is true as well. Was playing squash with my girlfriend when she was a student at St Andrews University. Must have been early to mid 1970's. We heard knock on door to say our time was up and as we walked out in walked a barefooted John Cleese. He asked me if he could borrow my squash racket, I o...

The cargo ship has been docked in Aberdeen for salvage assessment. Good news that it didn’t sink. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c9wp9k875r8o Salvage operations ongoing on the tanker and its stable. Presumably there’s some very careful removal of the remaining fuel to be done. In Aberdeen ... ...

My Turkish perspective on this is that those qualms and misgivings about authoritarianism and risks to personal liberty don't last as long as you think. People overlook a lot for their sun and shopping. I think you haven't grasped just how betrayed, in particular, the Canucks feel over all of this ...

25% tariffs on cars into USA = diversion from Signalgate debacle! I wait with interest and a high degree of scepticism to see if these tariffs actually go ahead, death knell for a President is to voluntarily raise the prices of cars for the American citizens. However as usual it is a 'flood the zone...

Yes the 'Europe's not paying its way' rhetoric is particularly irksome because the US engineered it this way . European dependence and the US being the world's policeman has made their arms industry a lot of fucking money. 100%. None of the old European great powers were allowed to take unilateral ...

Genuinely disgraceful. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c2d4kex0w2ro Nice office you’ve got, be a shame if anything were to happen to it Is anyone surprised anymore?

Edinburgh to host the Grand Depart in 2027 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cycling/articles/c4gpyqp4g1zo Excited about this already. Probably my 2nd favourite annual sporting event after the 6N. Saw the Grand Depart in London a few years ago and been to a couple of stages in France. That is definitely ...

I don't know why I'm disappointed, it happens so fucking often. Indeed. This was a winnable match and Edinburgh were in a position to build a lead Benetton would have found it hard to overcome. But they shat the bed, couldn’t score, and were (entirely predictably) punished for it. Bottled it .... a...

Fair play to Glasgow getting the 5 points despite being poor. Hastings and Weir were both honking. Poor is being kind to them! They were feckin awful and I am still trying to work out how they managed to win that game. Just shows how low Munster have fallen that a poor Weegie team missing most of t...

I can reiterate no I'm not. I don't mind the view it's a headbutt worthy of a red card, I merely don't also mind the view it's minimal contact and a yellow card is sufficient and he was a lucky boy during the game because he could easily have planted one full on thespian at 9. In essence more than ...

Court case over the illegal deportations is getting very interesting! Trump knows he is on shaky ground and is doing his usual and attacking the man rather than the ball. It is highly likely that this could end up in a contempt charge which will certainly bring things to a head re the judiciary role...

Have actually worked out a fair vehicle tax system for Uk: A. Co2 , seems to range from nearly zero (let’s say 1) to 320 g for a large petrol luxury B. Length in metres, so most would be 4 to 5.98 for a rolls Royce cullinan C. Width, say 1.8m fiesta up to a 2.2m Roller D. Weight in mteric tonne 1.0...

I don't especially want to defend Mauvaka in this, if he gets an 8-16 week ban just for sheer stupidity so be it, but it does look more a head brush than but, granted more by luck than judgement. And then we get into what if you throw a punch that misses territory I'm also not sure he launches hims...

I don't actually remember seeing White go off for an HIA, which presumably is why it wasn't upgraded to a red as there simply wasn't much contact. Which is beyond lucky for a beyond stupid action, he could have easily gotten similar force contact to Botha on Cowan. That said I wasn't watching that ...

KingBlairhorn wrote: ↑Thu Mar 20, 2025 4:01 pm Surprise surprise, Mauvaka banned for 6 games (reduced to 3) for his headbutt. Great help to Scotland that.

I am surprised that nothing more has been said about the referees' faulty interpretation of the law on the day?

Away from the headlines, RFK jr. thinks we should allow bird flu to run unchecked so as to identify birds that are immune. :crazy: Probably thinks the same about measles! I'm still waiting to hear the details of his new research proposal into the links between vaccines and autism and in particular ...

Agree it was foul play and deserved sanction. I'm just not convinced there was little or any actual contact with White's head. You can't see it hit from the video, that's just the assumption made from seeing White go the full Ronaldo holding his face. Funnily enough there is suddenly a perfect over...

Hopefully viewed as assault!

Press reporting that a number of Tesla Executives and board members are off loading stock, never a good sign! I suspect they too realize that Tesla has been hugely over valued and will be looking a current and future sales projections very very nervously. Hopefully the slow, or hopefully quick, impl...

Had possibly one of the best fourballs I have ever played in beautiful weather at Kilspindie on Thursday. Everyone playing superb. Lost to an eagle on the last but we had a fourball better ball of 14 under par. Golf is such a great game on those days. Just back after early round at Kilspindie. A de...

The news lost amongst the noise of the Trump Putin call is that the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, a Trump nominee, told the DOJ to go fuck itself calling for judges to be impeached. That's actually huge. I saw that and rather felt the trouble with our internet social media world is that what ...

Well played Rory and an honorable mention for Bob fae Oban - now 14th in World rankings! Rory looked very calm and measured on the last day and wasn't going to get beat in the play off. Amazing how quiet it is when he wins but all the armchair critics come out when he narrowly loses. Season money le...
