What was said is very much open to interpretation. If they'd gone on stage and shouted "death to ISIS", "death to Hamas" or "death to Hezbollah", I don't think we'd be having this discussion. Nobody in the mainstream media would have really batted an eyelid, other than to offer support to the...

There will always be some wonk who wishes to try it because it's possible, but I agree that there will be few "normal" people who do so. :)

Essentially what we're talking about here is freedom of speech, however distasteful some may find it. I hadn't heard of Kneecap until fairly recently when this whole furore erupted. Bob Vylan was completely unknown to me until today. Someone uses some nasty words about the Israeli military on a...

Nope, not around here. There's a long-established local retailer that has two outlets in town and TK Maxx sells footwear, but all the traditional shoe shops have gone.

To be honest, I have no idea how the depot is run these days. If roles are being cut in both Elgin and Inverness, it would suggest that the company will be running the show from Aberdeen, but this is just speculation really.

If that's your own personal preference, fine, but don't assume that everyone else feels the same way. While I prefer a polo shirt, a cotton button-up shirt is fine (preferably with short sleeves), but don't expect me to wear a tie unless I absolutely have to!

Jobs are to be cut at Elgin and Inverness. https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/6788406/stagecoach-job-losses-in-elgin-and-inverness/

He appeared on stage wearing a kilt and a jacket with nothing on underneath. When the jacket was removed it turned out that the loudest scream was from my other half...

Over the years the forum has had several threads about uniforms (rail included - there's a discussion about the wearing of shorts here: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/hot-weather-toc-uniforms.288149/). While I've never worked in either industry, I have had to wear a uniform on numerous...

Other than pub gigs, the only one I've been to was "Boyzone and Friends" at Aberdeen's Capitol in 1995. I bought tickets for my then other half's birthday and, while it wasn't exactly my cup of tea, it was very good value for money. There were five acts, including Sean Maguire (ex-Grange Hill)...

Maybe you're wrong here. While a country has a right to enact a pre-emptive strike if it believes that it is in imminent danger of being attacked by another, I'm not entirely sure that there was any imminent danger; the American intelligence and that of the International Atomic Energy Agency...

That is an era that I do not miss. 88888 (Jamba?) used to be advertised on telly quite frequently and people didn't realise that they were actually signing up for a subscription service. I was working for one of the big networks at the time and dealing with the fallout was a massive headache...

After counselling, he became an ex-tractor fan. I'll fetch my coat... :)

It is also one of the biggest sites for discussing matters omnibological buses and it's one of the reasons that I joined in the first place. :D I think it's fair to say that we're quite a diverse bunch and, while not everyone agrees with everyone else, the forum remains a relatively civil place...

The constant fiddling with routes was one of the factors that caused me to abandon Stagecoach when travelling to Aberdeen; it's probably more than 20 years ago since I last used the 10 from Elgin. It used to be so bloomin' frustrating when a late-running service seemed to be making up time...

"Thank you for your attention to this matter!" It's almost as if Trump is simply issuing an office memo. I really wish he'd shut his gob because he's not improving matters. Perhaps someone should remind him that if he really wants that Nobel Peace Prize, he's going the wrong way about it. Maybe...

Iran also has a right to defend itself against a country that threatens its existence. The Israeli regime has no right to complain when the country it's targetting responds in kind. The Israeli military doesn't care whether or not its attacks are targetted against legitimate military targets...

The issue that British business doesn't invest enough in training is one that seriously needs to be addressed, and that means recognising and investing in the talent that exists within an organisation before recruiting an external candidate who just happens to have a degree, regardless of...

I don't think anyone else picked up on this question. Unfortunately one of my fleet books has gone missing, but I can provde a partial list. The source is Capital Transport's Scottish Bus Handbook from 1989 and it lists buses 40-43 (BFS40-43L) as being open-top (O45/33F) and name as Edinburgh...
