Quoting exnihilo from 19:09, 28th Nov 2006 So I would be a Scot, living in Scotland but with a passport issued by a "foreign" nation? Sorry to harp on this minor detail, but I'm fascinated by it. It fascinates me too, as a Scot living abroad. I would rather not find myself in the situation where I ...

Quoting TCT from 16:35, 28th Nov 2006 Quoting Colin from 16:18, 28th Nov 2006 Quoting ascii from 13:44, 28th Nov 2006 The queen is head of state of New Zealand, Australia and many more independent countries, it's silly to suggest keeping the monarchy renders independence pointless.

Quoting ascii from 13:44, 28th Nov 2006 The queen is head of state of New Zealand, Australia and many more independent countries, it's silly to suggest keeping the monarchy renders independence pointless. As for passports, do you need a passport to go from Ireland to the UK, or from Portugal to Spa...

Remember, for your 47 quid you get the priviledge of receiving a regular 'almnus chronicle', which politely asks you for more money

Quoting Ashley from 00:27, 4th Nov 2006 I'm still here, lurking. From France.

Long range lurking is very much the way forward, I tell you.

I am awake as it isn't all that late here. Timezone fun

You graduate.

Again.

Life is like a box of chocolates: Warning, may contain nuts.

Quoting Fozzy Bear from 08:40, 9th Oct 2006 i reckon its just a matter of time before the US invades North Korea now. No, having the bomb is pretty much the one thing that will stop the yanks invading. Crazy as NK is, their actions are entirely sensible, and the USA has to take a fair share of the ...

Leaving aside where you are watching (as although St Andrews is in Scotland, it frequently appears otherwise), you could choose to show the game based on the likely entertainment value. Scotland have been doing very well of late and France have been on amazing form and have some players who produce ...

Sweet!

Quoting novium from 19:24, 20th Aug 2006 I hear that the movie is pretty bad. However, I've heard that many of the numerous spoofs on the internet are hilarious. Some of these are good. I like the racoons on a space shuttle one. http://www.originalalamo.com/sites/2blanks/films.aspx

Quoting Dave the Explosive Newt from 00:12, 20th Aug 2006 do the people of Dundee just have poor taste? Well they do choose to live in Dundee... (I seem to be being generally abusive about lots of parts of the country at the moment. Hmm. I wonder what has brought that on? Ah well, tis only in jest....

We're not that far away from civilisation... :s

Yeah. Far away from civilisation is the Borders. Or Orkney.

OK, to try (probably in vain) to drag this thread back to the subject of Andy Murray, instead of it being yet another Scotland v England argument: He won again! Into the quarter finals. But just. Thought he was dead and gone half way through the third set, he seemed to have run out of energy entirel...

Pretty damn impressive, I must say. Hope he can keep up this form through the competition and into the US open.

The problem with the comparison with NI is that, as you say, the IRA had clear political goals and a political mouth piece in Sinn Fein to argue for that point politically. But what is the political goal of the jihadist movement? Who are their politicians to do the negotiating side? Al quaeda's goal...

wtf?

Quoting Ragamuffin_artist from 17:28, 15th Aug 2006 exactly how controversial would it be to engage in profiling when 100% of Jihadists, to my knowledge, all come from the same religion? Simply because many people from the region are not terrorists, but would fit the profile and therefore come unde...

Quoting Marco Biagi from 14:37, 10th Aug 2006
Well, Blair staying away and leaving John Reid to front the work here isn't doing the latter's reputation any harm.

Blair can't come back - all the flights are cancelled.
