NoMoraDiaspora: February 2011
http://nomoradiaspora.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
The thoughts of a former member of the Scottish Diaspora, now returned to Glasgow. Thursday, 24 February 2011. Go jump off a cliff. I've been having a wee interchange with my blog buddy Braveheart. Who keeps me in mind of the narrow perspective that people from the West of Scotland seem to suffer. He's a moderate, sensible fellow by his own admission. PS The Sound track is pretty good too!

NoMoraDiaspora: June 2011
http://nomoradiaspora.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
The thoughts of a former member of the Scottish Diaspora, now returned to Glasgow. Monday, 6 June 2011. I think the Daily Mash. Tends to do a rather good job with the news, but if you're not a fan, here's an excerpt from the latest spat between people who think cuts are bad and those who think they're good, which I particularly enjoyed. The people who signed the letter stressed it was a very important letter because they were not just people who did not like the cuts, they were economists. There's no par...

NoMoraDiaspora: May 2011
http://nomoradiaspora.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
The thoughts of a former member of the Scottish Diaspora, now returned to Glasgow. Monday, 2 May 2011. The Vatican gets it right! Still, amongst all the bluster we get this from the Vatican. But the Vatican warned that no Christian should celebrate the death of the al Qaeda leader. He said the Vatican hoped that the death of bin Laden “would not be an occasion for more hate, but for peace". But I hae ma doobts! What am I saying and why am I saying it? It's not just me though. If I indulge in some dis...

NoMoraDiaspora: December 2010
http://nomoradiaspora.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
The thoughts of a former member of the Scottish Diaspora, now returned to Glasgow. Friday, 24 December 2010. I've no doubt he'll be doing a considerable stint inside - whilst the News of the World won't even be printing an apology for the 'lies' that they printed in exaggerating Sheridan's antics. It's a funny old world right enough! Monday, 20 December 2010. Another 6 charges dropped. Friday, 17 December 2010. 1 down 1 to go. Friday, 10 December 2010. The American wheels of justice. It seems the anti-Am...

NoMoraDiaspora: That Doosan thing...
http://nomoradiaspora.blogspot.com/2012/04/that-doosan-thing.html
The thoughts of a former member of the Scottish Diaspora, now returned to Glasgow. Monday, 23 April 2012. I'm not going to try to defend or castigate the SNP government for the Doosan thing last week, I think it looks bad on them, but what bothers me immensely about the whole subject is how a massive company in Renfrewshire could postpone a proposed investment in a Renfrewshire site (MP Jim Sheridan. 6 June 2012 at 13:18. Just have the referendum and decide the bloody thing one way or another! Bringing i...

NoMoraDiaspora: March Misery Makes Maggie's Monster More Meaningful
http://nomoradiaspora.blogspot.com/2013/04/march-misery-makes-maggie-monster-more.html
The thoughts of a former member of the Scottish Diaspora, now returned to Glasgow. Tuesday, 2 April 2013. March Misery Makes Maggies Monster More Meaningful. Back in November I convinced (perhaps even cajoled) 2 of my oldest friends into joining me in the Maggie's Monster Bike and Hike. An altogether excellent sounding adventure up the Great Glen. Were created to address. I hope you'll feel able to help me help those who definitely need a wee helping hand at a most horribly difficult time. Ofgem, Ofcom, ...

NoMoraDiaspora: Ofgem, Ofcom, Ofwat - So What?
http://nomoradiaspora.blogspot.com/2013/04/ofgem-ofcom-ofwat-so-what.html
The thoughts of a former member of the Scottish Diaspora, now returned to Glasgow. Wednesday, 3 April 2013. Ofgem, Ofcom, Ofwat - So What? What happens to the fine money though? As they raise prices, our tax contribution also rises linearly - so no real reason for the government to object, but if the government do want to make a show of punishing the companies, they 'fine' them - which increases the government take, but does nothing to mitigate the flow of money from our wallets. Have I missed anything?

NoMoraDiaspora: December 2013
http://nomoradiaspora.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
The thoughts of a former member of the Scottish Diaspora, now returned to Glasgow. Friday, 27 December 2013. Here to see one another through. I attended a dinner with the magnificent Sandy Strang. We're here to see one another through, not see through one another". Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Having lived overseas for 10 years I returned to Scotland, got married and started a family. I'm loving life in Scotland, but know that there are so many ways that we can improve and make better use of what we have.

NoMoraDiaspora: Nexus 4
http://nomoradiaspora.blogspot.com/2013/03/nexus-4.html
The thoughts of a former member of the Scottish Diaspora, now returned to Glasgow. Sunday, 24 March 2013. Haven't blogged in. quite some time, despite having had plenty of opinions to air. 2013 has a few events in the pipeline that I'd like to capture though, so with my snazzy new Nexus 4, I've installed the blogger app. Get ready for all sorts of poorly formatted and barely proofed rants, made possible by the enormous step forward in technology that is the android swipe keyboard. No Apology for Joan.

NoMoraDiaspora: January 2011
http://nomoradiaspora.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
The thoughts of a former member of the Scottish Diaspora, now returned to Glasgow. Thursday, 27 January 2011. Calibrating the Moral compass. Sometimes I'm not sure where I stand. Occasionally I rant just for the fun of it! Quite often I (attempt to) play Devil's advocate for fun. I'm a big fan of Al Murray and it's not been unknown for me to play the part of the sexist, mysoginist, xenophobe, racist, sectarian bigot - more to poke fun at the people who actually hold such views than anything. In recent ye...
