Aye, I’ve lived up here for about 14 years or something now and it’s just so beautiful. I’d never even contemplated visiting here before then. X 

I spent a lot of time in the 90's on expedition, mainly west coast, walking and canoe/kayak, and absolutely love it.

I once thought of relocating but not sure I could stand the weather (and midges in summer).

I was struck by 3 things when I went to Scotland:

1. Absolutely gorgeous country.

2. Everyone gets their car from the same dealer with the yellow sticker on the back window.

3. Every public toilet is covered in flat earth conspiracy graffiti. 

 

4. Everyone is called Jimmy..

5. Midges are pound for pound more vicious than hyenas.

6. People in Glasgow speak some form of verbal hieroglyphics.

[Daggers]

7. All pints contain lager. Only lager. 

8. Those odd breakfast meat things that aren’t sausage or bacon have no place in a human diet. 

9. Welcoming tourists by closing your shop and moaning about the traffic appears to be compulsory

[RumbleFox]

10. Everyone thinks England is arrogant and condescending.

11. Erm, see points 1-9. 

[Free Falling Foxes]

12. Speak their mind.

I was collected from Edinburgh airport by a driver in full chauffeur uniform. As he was driving, I asked if that was his fulltime job for the company. He said no, ' I got a call last night asking me to pick some English cvnt up'.

Banning diesel and petrol-powered vehicles will more than likely draw more costs compared to its benefits.

I must have tried to visit your shop during our NC500 trip this year.

 

Looking forward to not being served by you again next June.

Even if accusations made in the Leaving Neverland film are true, the accusers both committed purgery and the numerous inconsistencies in their stories mean that they lose all credibility.

Wow.

 

I mean, I haven’t seen it, but Michael Jackson was on record as a paedophile, by his own admission as well as in numerous testimonies given prior to paying families off. 
 

It’s just much easier to expunge lostprophets music from history than his, so people carefully overlook it. I can’t see how you’d take any editorial decision as sufficient evidence to disregard the obvious fact of his guilt.

Are you able to provide evidence of this? I am only aware of the settlement in 1994 after the family first filed a civil lawsuit which came before a criminal trial that never took place (it usually works the other way!). 

 

I fully understand how people can believe that Michael Jackson is guilty, personally I'm on the fence. However, my point is, if this is the ground-breaking testimony that is supposed to convince the world of his guilt, then it warrants necessary scrutiny. The bottom line is, both men lied under oath, one of them claimed to have been abused in a building which hadn't been built at a time when he claimed that the abuse had occurred and by the time that it had been built, he was sixteen years-old and had also claimed that by this point Jackson had 'kicked him to the curb'. The other claimed to have been abused while his family went to the Grand Canyon, although his mother testified that the whole family including him went to the Grand Canyon. This same accuser also tried to get a job directing a production about Michael Jackson and spoke glowingly of his influence not just in music but on his personal life only a year before first coming forward with these allegations. We are only scratching the surface here!

 

In a hypothetical scenario where this made its way to a criminal trial, any defence attorney worth their salt would tear them to pieces and subsequently, any reasonable jury would have no choice but to acquit.

Vardys half volley vs Liverpool is overhyped. The volleyed lob against Spurs was much better

It is shit keeping but still an incredible hit. The one against WBA that Mahrez dinked over goes under the radar

Yeah but it’s not spoken about very often,  if you asked most Leicester fans to name 5 iconic Vardy goals I don’t think many would instinctively name it

I agree completely. Except for two things.

 

It is possibly the best goal ever and if anything it’s underhyped.

 

And it wasn’t a half volley.

Production will be banned, but usage won't.

 

It'll take decades to get combustion engine vehicles, that are used every day, off the road.

 

Fuel costs will rocket more than they already have and road tax will become even more extortionate, but for various reasons, people will carry on.

 

If anything, I see it producing a boom in the used car market, similar to what we are seeing right now.

Well I agree it was by Vardy!

[bovril]

The Vardy WBA goal is out of this world. The volley against Liverpool was perhaps not technically as good but is such an iconic goal. 

 

Mahrez vs Chelsea is a goal that goes under the radar in my opinion. He was world class for us in 15/16 and I still think we slightly underestimate that.

Vardy vs Liverpool is the best goal in premier league history and anyone that disagrees is a scouser 

[HighPeakFox]

I'd go one further and say that the Vardy goal vs Liverpool was not rated highly enough because of its significance. Liverpool were dominating the game and my recollection is that we'd really been no threat until that point - the goal shifted the balance of the game and, potentially, the rest of the season in our favour. Therefore I respectfully suggest that the result at Man City a few days later may well not have happened without the enormous shot in the arm the Vardy goal precipitated - a sense that anything was possible.
