I have just signed the deed pole documents and from today my surname is now Thewlis-Strachan.
Thewlis after my step dad and Strachan after Joan's gran.
This has been in the pipeline for a little while. Now it's official. 😁
Premier of British Columbia is inviting the US-banned referee Omar Artan to officiate in Vancouver. This is one of the obvious solutions, but FIFA won't allow it.
Just in case Reporting Scotland tonight conceals the fact it was the SNP who asked HMRC to check VAT claims made against Murrell's purchases, here is exactly what the FM said.
OUCH! THAT HURT!
Kettle-Pot: Will Union Jack McConnell draw attention to the £9,000 his sister purloined from a disabled pensioner? (From Sep 2016)
The sister of ex-useless eejit of a first minister Jack McConnell was spared jail yesterday for stealing £9,000 from a disabled pensioner - after her brother refused to bail her out.
Anne McConnell took the money from the bank account of 80-year-old severe arthritis sufferer Janet Noteman while working as her carer on the Isle of Arran.
McConnell, the younger sister of Labour peer Jack, got hold of Noteman’s bank card and PIN number and cleaned out her savings account between February and August 2015.
She then told police her theft was caused by "the menopause”. She needed the cash to pay her mortgage and anyhow, hoped brother Jack would help her pay it back.
She was given a Community Payback Order (CPO) - requiring her to carry out unpaid work and pay compensation to the bank, who had earlier reimbursed her victim.
Anne McConnell was originally accused of stealing £17,900 from he victim, but ultimately pled guilty to stealing the reduced sum of £9,000.
I couldn't say it better than the Astronomer Royal of Scotland, in her letter to Nature.
"...whoever made this decision failed to foresee the disastrous and damaging repercussions for UK science and the economy."

This is indeed a superb letter from The Astronomer Royal of Scotland. “Someone, somewhere, has taken the decision to defund astrophysics research in the UK, but no-one seems quite sure who that was, or why.” I agree - my colleagues in particle physics have also tried, without success, to discover who owns the decision to damage physics research in the UK, perhaps irreparably, at a time when our economy desperately needs the skills and knowledge we develop and teach. @UKRI_News need to get a grip urgently and fix the problem someone, somewhere, has created.
My sister fully transitioned about 15 years ago, she has since then tried to live a quiet enough life without drama
She is happy, and living as she wants.
Its a shame that hateful people like you, wont just let her exist.
You seek to genocide a group, yet dont understand you are abhorrent
I've restored the cling film roll.
I've saved it from bunched-up, wound-up uselessness.
Working with the tip of a sharp knife and my nails, I've brought the poor cling film roll back into service. For doing this, I regard myself as a hero.
@caoimheeire@supertanskiii so in reality - the problem in your mind - is not men beating up and abusing women.. that is "left" agenda..
you can't cope with non-white men abusing women.. that hurts your pride..
