  1. It's also in the worst possible place for creating atmosphere.
  2. But then if there is no central company holding the bitcoins on their server then everyone would have to have their bitcoins saved on computers, usb sticks etc. which would then have even higher risks then storing money as cash, no? And in the free system why do people still hold bitcoins in centrally controlled companies? I am not all that clued up on bitcoins but I like the idea of them from a libertarian stand point but not sure how practical they are outside niche markets.
  3. Fractional reserve banking isn't exactly a new thing and I am pretty sure the EU rules mean that banks have to have 3% of total lending in reserves. Also online cryptocurrency is not the future. It's far too complicated to use, far too easy to be scammed and far too easy to lose your funds when they are stored exclusively electronically. The only reason for bitcoins atm is to be anonymous for illegal activities. For everything else normal currency is just so much easier and better to use. And in the end if you have to store the currency in a central system, like a lot of people do atm, will we not just end up with more instances like Mt. Gox? I'd rather have my money in the bank than some dodgy bitcoin company that could steal all my money tomorrow.
  4. The referendum in 2011 was a huge set up. Blame the lack of ruthlessness of the lib dems and their agreement to possibly the worst representation of pr.
  5. If you want someone to blame for the Tory majority it's clearly the no voters in September. If Scotland can't do it alone we gave to accept who England votes to rules us.
  6. Snp and Tories head to head atm!
  7. Just wait till the morning
  8. The arrogance of the SNP? They are going to single handly wipe out Labour in Scotland for possibly a generation. They could win every seat in Scotland. They deserve to be arrogant. But I think a lot of people are under estimating the pragmatism of the SNP. There whole raison-d'etre is independence. They will be looking at different outcomes after the election and trying to game it so it works out the best in regards to the result of a second indy ref. They would be delighted at a Tory majority and an out vote at an EU referendum in two years time.
  9. It's the leaders debate. None of them are standing in my seat so she is just as relevant than the rest of them.
  10. Historically we didn't't young there was just infant mortality which skewed the statistics. If you reached adult age you could to easily live to mid sixties.
  11. That's not very nice. I never criticise your posts I thought I was a long standing member of this forum.
  12. Pretty sure it was 3-2 and on a Wednesday.
  13. Markus Paatelainen was one hell of a player. Him ten years ago would walk into our squad.
  14. Or maybe you enjoy dull politik speak? This sort of debate ties peoples to one party or one leader. Why should you listen to leaders who will never be made accountable to their actions? Why should you listen to anyway of them as your vote, which is all they are after, is totally inconsequential anyway?
  15. The USA health system is awful but that isn't true for all insurance based health care countries. Just look at Germany or Switzerland systems instead for what a future UK without the NHS could look like.
  16. Or we should appreciate this season for what it is and realise we will have been beaten to the title by a team that has 10x our budget.
  17. I really should have picked a better alias than my name. I am always worried somebody I know will one day see all my posts on here.
  18. National football teams should be the preservation of sovereign nations. It's embarrassing and a sham that provinces like Scotland and Wales are allowed to compete on the national stage.
  19. That's what the inquest is for that is starting in a couple of months time.
  20. I didn't even think you would have been alive in 1980 never mind making it to the football! My first match was against united in 1997 or 1998. After the 3-1 defeat folk were outside the mainstand shouting for Miller out.
  21. In years to come this season will be looked back upon as a massive missed opportunity. Really weak league and good manager and squad. 3 games have lost us the league.

    Yea it's really good value. I was going to get a ready meal and a bottle of wine anyway so it's cheaper doing it through m&s. Still a wee bit depressing though. ot sure if the money saved makes any less depressing though ?
