  3. They seek him here, they seek him there
    His clothes are loud, but never square
    It will make or break him so he's got to buy the best
    'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion

    Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is)
    He thinks he is a flower to be looked at
    And when he pulls his frilly nylon panties right up tight
    He feels a dedicated follower of fashion

    Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is)
    There's one thing that he loves and that is flattery
    One week he's in polka-dots, the next week he is in stripes
    'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion

    I think this is trick question because the answer is President Jamez. (Also he is not guilty of war crimes.)

    1. Ma mate GWC tried some new mystery flavoured crisps in the pub lockdown last night and swore blind they tasted like his wifes fanny.

      He thought it must be his imagination....but every cant in the pub agreed.

  5. I found the hatred of some unionists towards the judge, jury and witnesses - notably those of the female sex - in the Salmond trial very distasteful.

    Apparently, they are all liars.

    1. It is sexist, plain and simple, to say that all 'females' share the same opinion. It is also just plain not true.

  7. Ironing done.
    Hoovering done.
    Washing done.
    Dusting done.
    Kids bathed.
    Kids in bed.

    Perfect!

    Now I can leave the pub lockdown.

  8. SNP my first vote no matter who the first minister is

  9. @terence

    There won't be such a party, Alex will likely rejoin the SNP as a member and retire to write his memoirs while commenting from the safety of being an elder respected statesman, if he tries it again in his state of health with the media intent on his destruction it could kill him and Alex isn't going to be Stuart Campbell or anybody else's tool to bring his own party down

  10. You were nice enough not to mention that you pointed out that 'Rev' Stu Campbell is definitely NOT one of the people with a big enough personal following. (Obviously, you're nicer than I am)

  11. The bit in the disaster movie when the uplifting strings come in:

    >The new coronavirus may already have infected far more people in the UK than scientists had previously estimated — perhaps as much as half the population — according to modelling by researchers at the University of Oxford.

    >If the results are confirmed, they imply that fewer than one in a thousand of those infected with Covid-19 become ill enough to need hospital treatment, said Sunetra Gupta, professor of theoretical epidemiology, who led the study. The vast majority develop very mild symptoms or none at all.

    Not inclined to prayer, but I might just send up one tonight that this proves to be accurate.

    1. Lots of knowledgeable people picking lots of holes in those findings. Not peer reviewed, apparently, and some of the assumptions seem to have been plucked out of thin air. Obviously it would be fantastic if it turned out to be true, but that looks very, very improbable. Essentially it's a repeat of Whitty's magical thinking about the outbreak in Wuhan coming to a natural end due to a large number of asympotomatic cases, rather than due to the Chinese authorities doing the hard work of lockdowns, mass testing, contact tracing, quarantines, etc.

    2. Ah well. An hour and a half of hope. Was nice while it lasted, and more than I expected today.

      Kind of sad how many anti-Trumpists and anti-Johnsonites assumed on Twitter and elsewhere that we were sharing it in support of those two bams. If we get a more definitive optimistic study sometime, it's going to take as much to convince such people to cop on as it took back in January and February to convince the Trumpists and Tories to take this seriously.

    3. Well, https://theweek.com/speedreads/904584/new-oxford-study-suggests-millions-people-may-have-already-built-coronavirus-immunity so the WHO report is based on a study by Imperial College London, the Oxford one disagrees, in a lot of ways it's interpreting statistics, and the statistic are acepted by most people whatever camp to be inadequate as there's not been enough testing to give enough information.

      So Gupta wants more antibody testing but agrees with the lockdown, which the IC report has caused in both the UK and the US, and Hancock has bought 1.5 million antibody tests, so it could be we'll know in a couple of weeks who's right and who's wrong.

      At its heart to be incredibly cynical, it's one uni getting desperately needed research funding against the other doing the same thing, and the irony is that it's not even that cynical as all the research will have value. And there speaks an ancient statistician who used to worketh one of three when not too drunk to stand and see!

    4. I think pretty much everybody wants antibody testing, but it would be crazy to proceed on the assumption that it's going to magically show that 50% of the population are already immune.
