This appears to be a death notice for the former MP Mary Holt? She's a pick on several DDP teams so watching for the qualifying obit. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ulitzer95 13,022 Posted February 26, 2021 Anyone watch Alex Salmond giving evidence earlier? He's looking worse than ever. 67 in December. 75 is looking very unlikely for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well the only reason I set him as my bloody display pic on here was because I had fully expected him to have done "a John Smith" by now. I kept telling myself I'd change it as soon as he shuffled off. 12 years later... still stuck with his mug. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the pic the item he's actually looking at in delight is a Tunnock's tea cake. A generous serving of tea cakes for Big Eck is probably the equivalent of a good shag for the rest of us tbf. Ironically, Tunnock's would later become a vocal opponent of Scottish separation in 2014. The cybernats of Twitter announced a boycott of all their products (they have a very long "blacklist" though so far from a special accolade). The end result... a lot of media coverage that saw Tunnock's sales soar through the roof. Not a tea cack fan me but their caramel wafers are pure heaven. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
