Scientists v Politicians: Round 3 10:39am on 29 Oct 2009 Counting chickens - you don't HAVE TO smoke it with tobacco or smoke it at all. Ingestion works far better.

jon112uk - there has been a six fold increase since the 60's in one area of london you say, where is the evidence that cannabis is the cause? It could easily be a race/genetics issue with a population more predisposed to getting scizophrenia.

Lets deal with the population as a whole and not focussing on minute areas to try and show a tenous link.

"Transport links north of Aberdeen are already more than adequate for the most likely level of economic development"

You really have no idea. I know of many a company who cannot compete in the UK market place because the time it takes for them to get through Aberdeen means they aren't competitive. In fact a long standing firm where I used to live had to close because of exactly this as the co concerned couldn't deliver in accordance with the JIT schedule required due to Aberdeen traffic.

Investing in infrastructure is a no brainer if you want to attract inward investment.

Only you think otherwise it seems.

You do realise that the biggest white fish port in Europe is located in Peterhead which is served by a single carriageway road?

Your argument re pensions is flawed in that the private sector should look to emulate the T's and C's of the public sector as the public sector should be seen as the model employer.

Bringing everyone down to the lowest, cheapest denominator isn't the way to go.

Also, it's just the private sector drones taking the hit. Boardroom pay has gone up 10% last year according to People Management magazine.

'Knives out' for SNP budget 2:31pm on 18 Sep 2009 "The bypass plan is too late... Oil traffic from Peterhead is much less than it used to be and the oil industry generally is in slow decline. "

So what better way to throttle any future economic development than to ensure there are no decent transport links north of Aberdeen.

You try getting from Dyce to Bridge of Dee at 4.30 on a Friday in less than an hour.

I'll give you my car if you do.

As to the thread. What is Purcell whining on about. Aberdeen subsidises Glasgow through the Arbuthnott Formula and now teh Resource Allocation Formula.

Glasgow gets more perhead than Dundee and it has been calculated that Aberdeen would get £100m a year more if it was funded to the extent Dundee is.

Purcell should come up to Aberdeen and see what lack of funding is about.

There isn't even dual carriageway between Inverness and anywhere.

Perhaps if Glasgow got on top of its sickness benefit culutre (25% in some areas) it would start generating some revenues so that it stopped bleeding the rest of Scotland dry.
Sony PlayStation 3 and the "yellow light of death" 11:00am on 18 Sep 2009 12,500 out of 2.5million? That equates to 0.005% having a non specific problem.

My launch 60G is still going strong with no probs so far.

I'm guessing the BBC was getting dogs abuse from MS over the reporting of their console so had to appear balanced.

I'm sure most manufacturers would kill for a failure rate as low as 0.005%

Yes, I'm a fanboy before you say anything!
Your questions to Andy Murray 3:41pm on 17 Jun 2009 "How can you turn this Anti English thing around. Why did you start it?"

He didn't, If anything it was Tim Henman, who started the banter about Scotland not being at the World Cup, as being responsible.

Didn't see Henman get vilified by the Scottish press for that.

Seems it's the English media that have the serious issues.
Goal reached over political football 5:00pm on 01 Jun 2009 The whole reason English FA are doing this is to curry favour in their World Cup bid. @snubbing' the Olympics' as it would have been seen would have sunk their bid without a trace as teh other federations would have pounced on it in an instant

Anyone who thinks anything else is totally naive.
Goal reached over political football 12:00pm on 01 Jun 2009 "Well, it is technically England and Wales already. Plus you occasionally get the odd Scot and Irishman representing England. So its already happenning (apologies to the Irish... I know 3/4s of the island of Ireland is not British, but there is an Irishman fighting his way into the current England squad)!"

Indeed, in fact we have Canadians playing for England at football and south africans as captain of England cricket. And English born players playing for SCotland for that matter.

Question is, would you like to see England national cricketing history ended in favour of a Team GB?

I'd say most English cricket fans would say not.
Goal reached over political football 11:11am on 01 Jun 2009 Would the English like to see Team GB v the Aussies for the Ashes?

I think not.

As for teh old firm in the EPL issue. If that happens just watch the top 4 in England leave the EPL for a European league

AS for this poster, shows how much you know

"Its like some public holiday... probably because it happens very infrequently!"

Sco v Eng, Played 110, Sco 41 wins, Eng 45 wins, 24 draws

Happens rather frequently in fact. I seem to remember Sco beating Eng last time they played as well.

Still, not like some on here to have the mereset grasp of the facts.
