    I have to say that this Covid19 is really getting on my nerves, especially here in the land of the jaggy thistle where the boss still has us by the short and curlies and won't let us out to play properly yet. I know the damned thing is real as a few buddies have fallen victim to it but, personally, I ain't at all sure that the Lockdown is doing any good and is possibly going to send the UK and Scotland in particular right doon the tubes financially, especially as we Jocks are in limbo for at least another week. Can't help but feel that the whole BLM shenanigans wouldn't have gotten a foothold if there weren't all the idle hands (especially the naïve middle class students who have got more confidence in their own superior intellect than they have actual intellect) for the Devil to find work for. Doubt there would have been a whiff of trouble if it had been exam time or a nice cold winter.

    Doesn't help that I am personally pissed off that Triumph Glasgow is shut so I can't go looking to try out some Bonnies. I have heard whispers that, if you ask them nicely, they will give you an appointment to go and sample the merchandise, but I don't have the necessary loot in hand yet as a lump of cash I am waiting on to spend is also being held up by the the damned virus.

    Ah well my theory is that our fandabbyDOZY leader decided that she would get brownie points by 'looking out for us' and letting the folks in England stick their heads out of the door first. Logic being that, if there was a fresh outbreak she would get maximum points from us for saving our bacon and, if there wasn't any fresh outbreak she would then let us out but then she 'bottled it' and started worrying that, even though there hasn't been a fresh outbreak in England there still could be one in Scotland which would stuff her up and lose her all the brownie points she gained. She now doesn't know what to do except keep us in lockdown for a while longer and beg Westminster for handouts to keep folks from losing their shirts while they can't work. Problem is that much of Scotland's income is from hospitality tourism (in my village at least half the folks are employed at the nearby caravan park, hotel and pub and most of the rest are retired) and she won't take the brakes off that until at least mid July which is way too late for them because all the people who come from Scotland and would normally holiday in June/July will, of course, be back at work themselves if they are lucky enough to still have jobs and won't be taking a holiday either way. I reckon that we are going to really be seriously in the brown stuff to be honest and that our 'Boss' just doesn't have the guts to risk losing lives to Covid19, or rather the possibly bad press for her party, in order to avoid futures lost to poverty, joblessness and misery.

    Yep written by a slave apparently, so yes it was always going to be a target. Mind even if the RFU ban it the fans are unlikely to stop singing it .....

    Q - What's the difference between a black man and a push bike?

    A - when you put a chain on a pushbike it don't sing old man river.

    Not my personal views and I have never put a chain on a black man...just found it funny...no offence intended ;)

    Thanks mate, is there anything you could do before the peasants army gets mobilised, perhaps involving Panzer Divisions, Attack Helicopters, small Thermal Nuclear Devices? Balloons on sticks maybe?

    This lady talks a lot of sense.



    Why is noone in the main stream media (apart from LBC) highlighing exactly who/what BLM is, and what the consequences would be if BLM got what they really want?

    And that was the thing Jez when I arrived everything was exactly the same as normal, empty bay, cars about, no big signs, so I stupidly didn’t think to look at the small post on the pavement saying there’s no parking today...
