Any other cumbrian hibees getting a bit wet?

I don't wish this to start another "car-crash" debate, merely having a whinge... I left Aberdeen tonight at 5:45pm, and was moving towards Dundee very comfortably, with no hold ups - all of a sudden, I see a few cars in front slamming their brakes on and the hazards clicking on. I slowed to a...
Is this a new building ..?...never knew there was a High court in Livi ..:confused:
Does anyone think that the armed forces are being used to support Brown's stated agenda of promoting "Britishness", in light of the decision to hold a massive celebration of the military in the Scottish capital? http://thescotsman.scotsman.com/scotland/Attenshun-Capital-to-host-Armed.5833061.jp...
Just wondering what the general consensus of opinion on this subject is. It seems to be a political taboo to even speak of it. I think the world's ideal "sustainable" population is somewhere between 2 and 4 billion mark. At current levels and beyond we are destroying the environment, directly...
As it is looking increasingly like we are losing the war in Afghanistan, does anyone else think that we are in a similair situation to the USA in the 60s and 70s, regarding Vietnam. You sir, third row back with the BHS pullover (I'm sorry, I'm not allowed to say you are black)...
Five British soldiers have been shot dead in Afghanistan by a "rogue" Afghani policeman. Time to leave, surely? The Afghanis don't want us there, and add to that our support of a corrupt government, and the rigged election. This war is going from bad to worse, and is not worth the loss of so many...

Since the weekend, I've overheard many people expressing their outrage at Simon Cowell's manipulation of the latest vote on his show, the X factor. It's hilarious. How naive can people be? The whole show is manipulated from programme 1 to the end. Why do people think the judges get to...

This might sound harsh and I know I'll get jumped all over for saying it but it's what I think. I'm tired of all the talk of our 'brave' soldiers and all the heroes we have in Afghanistan at the moment. I know it's remembrance day and all that but it's doing my nut this year, with the debate...

Hi all, First off, to admin, apologies if this is in the wrong section. If it is just delete it, I'll know why. :wink: I, amongst others, run a car related club, with a web forum of about 4200 members, mostly from the UK. We have an ex member (he asked to be removed after a disagreement) who...
What do you think about the old guy in the paper who used a rifle to scare away some youths. He thinks he has done nothing wrong. If he is right, should we all arm ourselves against the plooky wee hoodies, or is the use of rifles more suited to Dodge City, or deepest Afghanistan? You - the...
I know that this gets done to death here, but who was waving the R of I flag today? We really need to leave that sort of p - - h to the Bigot Bhoys. I. m. o. Of course. GG
This is a highly trivial point in the scheme of things, but since there's a lot of talk about respect at this time of year, here's what I'm hoping for at the same time in 2010: That everyone on the board who writes about them takes the trouble, as a small mark of respect, to spel these words...
Anyone had it done? I'm booked in and ****ting myself. Shouldn't watch those youtube videos. :bitchy:

Off the bat , i am not looking for financial advice !!:greengrin I'm just getting round to doing my new childs government trust fund (CTF). I have spoken to a few people who have just opened a bank account with it but i'm thinking of the risky share option. Does anyone have any views on...

Goebells would be proud of the way the Government is rallying support for Britain's military conflicts around the world.
........... better than I was expecting. Here was the culmination of Nick Griffin's week in the sun - massive TV audience, and a golden opportunity to convince floating voters. In my opinion, he failed so spectacularly, I could hardly believe my own eyes. He hadn't done his research, his...
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8353441.stm Really not sure what point this woman is trying to make? Taking the p!sh out of his spelling and bad handwriting? And why would you go to the Sun about it and then get the Sun to record the telephone call from the PM? She said he...
I'm currently filling in an application for a grad scheme and one the questions is: Name a time when you have done something you consider to be ‘world class’ and explain why? I'm really unsure what they are looking for here. I want to take the brutally honest approach and say that I haven't...

I have a spare for The Specials tonight at the Corn Exchange - happy to sell at face value. PM me if interested in a great big skank this evening.
Went to my mates house and walked in with a bottle of DIET Irn Bru. His mum went hi then just stared and went 'what on earth is that, you know that can give you cancer'. Immediately I was like wtf are you on about, but reading up it seems some say it can some say it can? Something to do with the...
I have decided to finally give up smoking. I've been on between 20 to 25 a day now for a while. Managed to cut down to only four yesterday which I thought was pretty good. Plan to ween myself off them so by Saturday I wont have any. What ways did other people go about it?
Its a particularly 'important' memorial service at Westminster Abbey today because this is the first time there has been no surviving WW1 veterans left alive. Jeremy Irons will be reading Last Post by the poet laureate at the service...im not very knowledgeable about poetry but I was very moved...
Has anybody had this recently? I had near enough £50 taken out of my account from Amazon last Thursday and i definitely never bought anything on that day. The last thing i bought was a Wireless router for roughly £20 which only got delivered (after two weeks of waiting) after i had asked...
Why on earth were there people with buckets outside the ground yesterday shaking buckets of cash for the postal workers?! And more to the point, why where people giving them money!? Think I could do with some cash.... might take a bucket down myself next weekend! I understand these people...
Been told that a boy has been stabbed and that Gilmerton Dykes Gardens is closed off and there is door to door enquiries going on. Don't know if this was last night or today, guessing today as it's not on the news sites. Unless someone is telling me a load of pish. :LOL:
