Ach, no more than Bremner deserved. There’s the famous picture of Dave Mackay taking him by the throat for a dirty tackle on his second comeback after two broken legs.

The BBC ran this last night. That phone call was breathtaking. A brave man, his family too. A very sad outcome both for him and the world.

My wife was employed in a small Post Office and would spend hours on the phone to the ‘helpdesk’ trying to find the differences. It wad only due to the goodwill and trust of the owners that she didn’t end up under […]

I’ve been at longer ones without a break. I was sitting with a pal, and we just looked at each other and laughed when it was announced.

I was at a funeral some 4 years back that had an intermission/fag break for the assembled mourners!

That’s sad to hear. The programmes were superb, and the ‘cast’, being of similar ages to myself were a fantastic cross section of society. They were sympathetically filmed by Apted, but by their nature had to be […]

So sorry for you. I’ve shed a few tears myself reading all the above. Like most of us of a certain age on here I’ve lost parents, but not at an early age. I think the important thing is that you don’t stop talking […]

Standard practice. Files have to be passed to the Procurator Fiscal to review before charges can be made.

I have a JRT. First couple of years he was very destructive, but he had to be left alot at the time which didn’t help. But to be fair to him, it was my wife’s clothes and boots he chewed, not mine. Now aged 8 he […]

All sounds like a good thing. I’m sure your brother would have been a careful owner despite his frailty, but as said a few times above, the issue is problem owners, not problem dogs.

I’m not sure why people get rescue dogs from overseas when there must be plenty of homeless British dogs available? And no, I’m not playing the anti-europe card!

Born and brought up in the Shetland Islands. Which coincidentally and appropriately is known to the natives as ‘the old rock’. He had some career.

No ambassador role for her. Just a reference to a bit of tittle tattle.

Glad to see the back of her. The force of her personality and the controlling and rather toxic nature of the SNP made the Scottish media less quizzical than they might have been at times. There is a huge legacy […]

I saw MMEB at the Capitol Theatre in Aberdeen in probably 1978. They were a fine band. There were a group of older people in the audience which I thought odd. On reflection, they were probably alot younger than I […]
