Scottish flaghatmanAn MSP is campaigning to end private-sector building of new homes in Scotland. He is demanding that they be constructed to such tight energy efficiency standards that they will be unaffordable and not worth building in the first place.
   If he gets his way, only new council housing will be built as it doesn't matter to local authorities how much taxpayers' cash they blow.

Last year's prime Xample of an Xmas Wizardry Must-Have, the Arfur Tree, is still available!

Ad AttackCompletely reconditioned stock
   It's artificial, it's only 50% of the standard vehicle for Xmas decorations, which means that it can be parked right up against a wall, or suspended from a picture rail, as a space saver.
Ad Attack   And, of course, being just half a tree, it can be decorated in half the time.

CFL logoEastern Final: the Cats in T’ronno
Nice day for it. The Home team scored first with a FG and the Argos had to settle for another with 2 minutes left in Q1, 0-6. The Cats fumbled the ball away a minute into Q2, nowt from it. A long FG in the 9th minute put the Argos 0-9 ahead.
   The Argos used a challenge but didn't get DPI in the Hamilton goal in the 14th minute and had to kick a FG for 0-12. The Cats were close to FG range when they fumbled the ball away. The Argo defender rushed down the sideline but he didn't have much of a grip on the ball and Evans was able to snatch it off him and prevent another Argonaut score!!
   Sacking & punting in Q3 and it started to snow. White returned a TA punt for a TD, the PAT missed, 6-12 in the 6th minute. The Cats got a 1st down from a fake FG play, Evans to Acklin for a TD on the next play, no +2, 12-all. A big pass play by the Argos set up a FG from the TC 34, missed for 1, 12-13. Then more sacking into Q4.
   Evans went in for a TD from the TA 1 after 4 minutes and the Cats got +2, 20-13. The Argos punted but the Cats were offside and the Argos kept going to a 3rd & 1, didn't make it but the stooopid Cats were offside again. A bad snap forced the Argos to kick a FG, 20-16. The TigerCats reached the TA 1 @ the 3 minute warning. Evans in for another TD, 27-16.
   Lotz of time left. Bethel-Thompson was picked in the TC goal? No, the ball was juggled, another FG, 27-19 with 1:10 left. The Cats made a 3rd & 1 and that was enuff to let them eat the rest of the clock and go home to get ready to play the Grey Cup in Hamilton.

The bloke in the snowdozer didn't do a bad job of the pitch. A penalty on the Riders kept the Blue Bomber opener going, pick in the SK goal on the next play. Nothing from it. But a fumble by the BB was returned to their 17 and set up a TD for Powell, 7-0 in the 5th minute. One back for the Bombers in the 12th minute, 7-all.
   Collards was picked off again in the 1st minute of Q2, a big gain from DPI but just a FG for the RR, 10-7. Purifoy caused another BB fumble at the end of the half, no time to do anything with it.
   The flags were flapping vigorously in Q3. The Riders were stopped by a forced fumble. The BB went 2 & fake FG and out. The Riders missed a FG for nowt. The BB came back at them with a TD for Harris in the 14th minute, 10-14. An endless YAC sprint by Williams for a TD closed the quarter at 17-14.
   A speedy reply by the BB? Well, a TD after 6 minutes, 17-21. The Riders survived a fumble shambles during a punt return but had to punt themselves. After the 3 minute warning, Powell made a 3rd & 2 & more but the Riders were stopped on another 3rd down. The Blue Bombers are going to Hamilton for the grand final.

Why don't Masoli throw it to Speedy B? TD for Banks in the 12th minute, 10-17. Kelly picked Collards again; 2 & sack & punt by the Cats. 2 & out & safety by the BB, 10-19 in the last minute of the quarter.

Plus a single from a kick off with the wind, 21-22. A daft penalty made the TC punt. Another FG and a rouge from the kick off put the BB 25-22 ahead with 2 minutes left. Speedy B got the Cats to FG range, they got closer but stalled at the 3, FG, 25-all and OT.
