Motivation

Sick of all those HR-sourced motivational that swathe you in cutesy images and twee Reader's Digest philosophies? Then try Automotivator and build your own. Just try to put a wee bit more creativity (and less bile) into the process than this one.

Thatcher? Don't ask...

If Margaret Thatcher wins on Thursday –

- I warn you not to be ordinary

- I warn you not to be young

- I warn you not to fall ill

- I warn you not to get old."

Neil Kinnock speech in Bridgend, Glamorgan, on 7 June 1983.

For Thatcher, read, well, you know...

Livingston, August 2004

On the eve of Inverness Caledonian Thistle being presented with the Scottish First Division Trophy, here's a photograph (scanned from a Caley Thistle programme which I never managed to get hold of) of the crowd at the first ever ICT Premier League game, a 3-0 defeat at Livingston. As the provider said, "Lonely In A Crowd". Still, being a Dundee fan must be even more depressing... Eh, Donald???

Ich Bin Ein Forres Loon...?

A wee bit of manic Doric rap.





Whilst we're on a Northern swing at the moment, a word for my Celtic-minded chums who had a great time when we, Inverness Caledonian Thistle, were relegated last season. You might like to try it sometime - at least ICT have won a trophy, been in a cup final and managed to beat Ross County...

Why I don't really have a problem with Google Maps Street View:

• The car is clean (for once);
• Can't read the number plate;
• Just left the Cawdor Tavern;
• I ain't driving!
  

What's not to like...?
