@TDebrati @theweeflea @afneil The last time I blushed was when I choked on my first communion old bean. The excitement and all that.

There’s no real work to do in our Mickey Mouse parliament so overpaid under qualified loons like this can virtue signal for five years straight. During which time they’ll pick up circa 400k, plus pension rights, and can work from home too. Almost impossible to be sacked….no clocking in or out…no Key Performance indicators etc. in other words a feather bedded home for those who are unemployable in the outside world. I voted for it but I’d vote to scrap it tomorrow.

Like thousands of others I was on the pitch that day. As the throng swept down the terrace there was nowhere else to go but on the pitch 😎

Incredible time to be a broadcaster in Dundee. Wee Jim in his pops as chairman at Tannadice and Peter and Jimmy trying to rebuild Dundee who were once the city’s premier club. It was never going to last.

I was in Dundee in the office of Ivano Bonetti. It was deep conversation about the unrepeatable story Ivano had gifted @DundeeFC.

He got a call from his brother and he switched on the TV.

“Go home to your wife Roger”. He knew she was expecting. @Raffadaisy @LucaMitchell200

@TDebrati @theweeflea @afneil Where would Brian Cox be if commenting on Scotland depends on location…..plus David was a minister in Dundee for many years.

Everyone has held these views. The vast majority.

Since for ages. Bit by bit, they all feel they can express them. And thank God.
