Jim Fitzpatrick, a government minister, has defended his decision to walk out of a Muslim wedding in east London because he was told he must sit apart from his wife. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/8201461.stm The 'happy' couple are now accusing him of hijacking their wedding for political...

In a similar vein I recall explaining (to my mother) how a roll fed fax machine worked by telling her the sending end rolls the sheet of paper into a really, really tight straw and then an internal fan blows it down the telephone cable to the receiving end where it gets unrolled - which is why it co...

Are there any places offering free wifi between Byres Road and Partick station? I've used the Cresswell Lane Beanscene a few times, as the best I can think of. Any others?

Partick Library? I think the wi-fi runs even when the library is shut.

Never mind paying for petrol. Who's going to pay for the infrastructure to allow cars to be topped up safely and securely at the kerbside? Not everyone has access to a garage or an off road area they can run an extension cable out to. Will tenement dwellers drop a lead out of the window and watch it...

How Martin sees himself As a Catholic writer of many years, it has been obvious to me for some time that the secular press in Britain has all but silenced the Christian view on a good many moral issues. This has been particularly noticeable since New Labour took office in the late 1990s. Where once...

Is it safe to take an elecric vehicle through a car wash?

Shelf stacking :roll: http://thescotsman.scotsman.com/education/Out-of-the-shipyards-into.5544530.jp Quite incredible. Creating apprenticeships in a sector with inherently low productivity (hence low wages), for jobs that robots will be doing in ten years' time anyway 8O That's Fiona Hyslop for you.

Title says it all really.

It's clearly a case of alien abduction and the little green men were on their way back from Galston. I wonder when they'll get fed up of him and hand him back?

Will they hand him back? He'll fit it so well.
