Usain and mo are hardly everyday run of the mill guys, but by the same token give them an axe and a handsaw as it was in my father's day or a chainsaw in my early days and tell them to put in a good 10 hr shift on the side of a hill then it may be a different story. Nowadays it's sat on your arse in a cab pushing buttons

no, back in the day they were classed as to lazy, now its more mechanised it would be easier you would think but still never seen any

oil would drop regardless of a yes or a no. Do you think the Saudis give a **** if we voted yes or no

One final thing I would add Rik is this, if a black person called me a white b****** or whateverelse I wouldn't runaway and cry racist or want him arrested.

I'm 48 Rik, so in my lifetime it more than likely has crossed my mind. There was an incident on Friday night in perth town centre which I won't elaborate on but if I had been there it may well have been uttered and for those involved it possibly was. My industry is all white people in all the 30 yrs I have been in the job and my father was 50 yrs before me none of us have come across a black person in the job. The general consensus of opinion from people in the industry is that it is too hard work for them

The thing I'm struggling to get my head round is this, after the initial collision the vehicle travelled a fair distance before coming to rest, perhaps a timescale of almost a minute. Now binmen very seldom travel alone so surely someone in the cab could've grabbed the steering wheel, yanked on the handbrake or something to halt it, or perhaps they were in shock or injured. This is all guesswork

did I say it was an issue? I asked Abernethy a question and he put over his answer. End of

my thoughts exactly although this was just from an eyewitness and he may have been caught up in the moment when making the comments

Rooms are excellent aswell Athens

Bin lorry crashes into pedestrians in Glasgow City Centre at least 6 dead. Horrendous

We were in the function room Athens but I take it the food comes from the same kitchen. :-D. Our meal was good

Personally no

need to disagree mainstand and not often I do on football matters but never a sending off as TV pictures showed, a booking yes but red card, harsh.

Braw night in the huntingtower on Friday night

The bit I don't get about all Abernethy is this, it's ok for a black man to call a fellow black man a black b****** yet it's not ok for a white man to call the same chap a black b******. He either is or he isnt

Joe Kinnear next for the hotseat?

Foodbanks rik2304 are used by many people who will spend their benefits on fags, alcohol and drugs before buying food because they no they can rely on these lovely Foodbanks that are being setup. Not all foodbank users are like that I may add

didnt say they were the answer to poverty I said the food vouchers would go further in there than tesco. You can easily buy the ingredients and cook a decent enough meal for four for well under a tenner from any of those shops. Surely better than a McDonald's meal that many kids have as their diet

rik2304 you would be amazed at what you can get in there nowadays and also shops like B and M bargains no need for anyone to starve

Would it not be a better idea that those of a working age that are British and are able to work are made to work or get no benefits and if there are any jobs left then the migrant workers fill them

pound shops, the vouchers would go further

Will be some interesting times in the Scottish parliament ahead. Wee nicola may have met her match in Kezia Dugdale. Labour shouldve appointed her rather than Murphy imo, not that I'm a labour supporter

Brogan you are spot there

Well if you're sitting with a big bank balance you're quite well off do you really need to be taking whatever child benefit is nowadays from the state? And on the other side of the coin if you are further down the wealth ladder you shouldn't be having anymore than 2 kids if you cant comfortably afford them. Some women churn them out for fun just to rake in benefits.

got 4 and 4 grandchildren so you never know might be room for more
