    I tried MD 20/20 once.

    A fine fighting wine - right up there with Four Crowns and Buckfast.

    I don't believe they ever intended it to be drunk by the bottle then washed down with a couple of cans of Tennets Super Lager. Although if they did then a whole load young neds may have just found religion.

    This mornings update on your little friend. His mum is demanding an apolology from the justice minister. She says she had no right to call her son a 'ned' and to demean him in front of the whole nation. The idea has entered her head to sue the Justice Minister.

    Oookkaay!!

    Personally, I think Cathy Jamieson is a waste of space but my sympathies are with her on this one.

    "The parents are to blame" never sounded truer. The fact that he was allowed out the door in a white tracksuit makes him guilty before he did anything.

    I blame this on budget cuts.

    I have to be careful what I say on this issue. I have a lot of retaliations in that area. I was born a couple of miles away(Sorn) and spent my first two years of school in Auchinleck. I have been studying the pic of the ned closely to see if he is balding and wearing dentures.

    Does this have anything to do with that woman who convinced shopkeerpers in Kilwinning and surrounding areas to bar Buckfast from their shops?

    Back OT for at least one post-

    This whole thread suffers a certain illegitimacy (which is fine, as far as that goes), as we are all in danger of forgetting the overarching truth of the fact that, no matter what anyone thinks, all of the best whines are of exclusively French provenance.

    It is, to put the finest possible point on things, a fait accompli.

    In the area being 'talked' about, they think a fait accompli is a friend of the deceased.
