My My Teribus didn't think you would have the cheek to show your face back on this thread after the heap of shite you aimed at Shimrod.

Who do you think you are? Shimrod was giving a personal opinion of a working environment that many of us recognise. The sickening hierarchial environment that strips work of pleasure and job satisfaction.
However let us move on...You lead us to believe that you have taken up residence in Scotland, if this is so, even wearing your customary blinkers, you cannot have missed seeing the change in Scottish politics....People actually talk about politics these days....There is a buzz everywhere...people are excited...something is happening at last.

After years of being told by UK politicians that we Scots were too stupid to look after our own affairs, Alex Salmond has shown that a Scottish government is more than a match for a United Kingdom one.
The last bye-election was no protest vote, it was made by Salmond into a test of strength between Westminster and Hollyrood and guess who came out on top? In a seat which has been solidly Labour for years.
Mid term protest vote my arse! apathy is built into the UK electoral
system, nobody really believes that they are represented anymore...except bankers and retired Naval pen pushers!!

Predictions? Oh yes I suppose you forgot about that little skirmish over in Iraq that the Americans were going to tidy up in months.

Who predicted that it would be a disaster for Iraq and for Blairs Labour Party? While you patted youself on the back over "Shock and Awe".

A few posts ago you described me as a "Wee Heilan anarchist without a positive thought or idea in my head, what a laugh!! Your last two posts on this thread are the biggest load of negativity that I've ever read....and negativity about your adopted country at that.

Best plan for you would be tae pack up yer Union Jack pygamas in yer auld kitbag and get tae fuck back ower the border.
The new Scotland will have no need for "military men" retired or otherwise
I'll leave you with the words of Hamish Henderson tae ponder, he for one, would have been proud of his countrymen when they put war behind them for ever!

"Nae mair will our bonnie callants
Merch tae war when oor braggarts crousely craw
Nor wee weans frae pitheid an clachan
Mourn the ships sailin doun the Broomielaw
Broken faimlies in lands we've hairriet
Will curse 'Scotlan the Brave' nae mair, nae mair
Black an white ane-til-ither mairriet
Mak the vile barracks o thair maisters bare"
