Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has managed to register his image rights on the off-shore tax-efficient territory of Guernsey. Income received there for use of his rights everywhere else will not attract the kind of tax mere mortals pay in their daily lives.
Pellegrini, 60, developed a genial personality to combat profound ugliness, an affliction which has affected him for decades, so news that his image has commercial value is a wonderful boon for the multi-millionaire. Manchester City will also benefit as any monies they pay for use of their manager’s image will not attract tax or National Insurance contributions.
Uefa president, Michele Platini, who has never had to worry about ugliness, now has a different challenge. Whether or not to abandon his well-meaning Financial Fair Play aspirations, or get ugly on those who try to usurp his best intentions.

I believe that we are smart enough, canny enough and have enough resources to not only rule ourselves but to become a modern prosperous country. Dont listen to the propaganda coming from England, they are desperate to keep our taxed to the hilt resources within their clutches.
Vote yes and have the confidence in our nation.

“Where natives were not intelligent or mature enough to run their own affairs.”

If by `natives` you mean the general populace, can you give me an example of any `natives` who have run their own affairs?

I was paraphrasing, my memory not being what it was. I was trying to put the tone of contempt the outgoing british had for the people leaving the empire.

Understand people who have passed away or very I’ll getting a mention in the CQN book. But why is everyone getting there names added to a lust is a vanity thing. I’m lost why people do this.

‘A Yes vote is not a vote for the SNP to govern, ‘
Maybe not, but they don’t intend to disband.
And they’d be the ones negotiating the terms of the break up, so would be writing the blueprint for a separate* Scotland.
* I use the word separate, but we’d still have the monarchy, the pound and interest rates fixed by the Bank of England, unless of course we have the Euro and interest rates fixed by the ECB. It’s called self rule, apparently.

I noticed Morrissey23rd appeared on the list today, which is a good idea for sales but nobody calls our favourite benefit scrounger Lizzie2. It’s ‘Morrissey the 23rd’.

One step at a time. The Greens have already broken ranks, but I’m sure these policies have been tempered with the aim of winning the referendum. Like all futures, unknown with nothing is absolutely assured (except change).

It’s a good question 4GF. What natives have governed themselves? It brings up issues of class interest, national determination etc.
i certainly believe we have the raw materials in Scotland to make a success of independence. And if we achieve independence, i believe it may be possible to have a socialist government in place after the very first election, looking after our class interests and national aspirations in a way that westminster never will.
Until then, the SNP will tread a very conservative path concerning economics, military etc. if we aren’t seen to be ‘friendly’, the USA will ensure it never happens.

I’m sure they were good guys but I was more thinking about the guys who helped make this place the way it is, those living, and no longer posting for whatever reason, and those who have gone to sit with their makers.
What about:

Guys who put effort into these pages with their actions off it.
Then I see Sean South’s name in the list… somebody is having a laff.

That’s politics for you. You’re never going to get one party which reflects 100% of your views all the time.
PS I went to a non-denominational high school, that was the only choice in Aberdeen. Didn’t do me any harm (I think).
