I was happy the 'musical segment' featured 'The Jam' up near the front of it too if I remember... yay.

That made me smile.

Anyone who used to listen to my radio show would have picked the song instantly I played it quite regularly.

The bigotry issues Scotland has are not those of a xenophobic right, but are between Catholics and Protestants within Scotland.

But you're so busy being an arse you manage to miss that entirely.
I think if Ireland ever gets the Olympics they should have the runners torches as a pipe bomb in a pint of guinness. Just to take the piss.

The Judges screwed Travis Stevens, he should have won against Ole Bischof.
