Abusing freebiesA friend of mine recently attended a 'Champaign Lunch', where he was compelled drink as much fizzy stuff as he could between the first and last courses. In an ideal world we'd ask restaurant staff to tell us stories about fatties stuffing themselves at All You Can Eat places, but we recognise that our members don't all work in the catering trade, so for the rest of you - tell us something about abusing freebies. BTW: Bee puns = you fail.

Chip on the shoulderYou will find that many Scots support two teams in international football - Scotland, and whoever is playing England. It seems to be a chip on the collective Scottish shoulder.
I think it's more to do with the media, to be honest. Remember 1966 was over 40 years ago, FFS. I actually would like to see England qualify for the Euro championship (along with Scotland of course). But the problem is that when England play, we hear about nothing else, which is why we (myself included) like to see the dismal faces of Jimmy Hill et al when England lose, although I feel sorry for the players.
But it's only football. I like to see England winning at cricket for example.
And I think we Scots would do well to remember the disproportionately large amount of money which we receive per capita from Westminster before voting for Alex Salmond's grand independence plans.
