Devine ABSTRACT The extraordinary influence of Scots in the British Empire has long been recognised. As administrators, settlers, temporary residents, professionals, plantation owners, and as military personnel, they were strikingly prominent in North America, the Caribbean, Australasia, South Africa, India, and colonies in South-East Asia and Africa. Throughout these regions they brought to bear distinctive Scottish experience as well as particular educational, economic, cultural, and religious influences. Moreover, the relationship between Scots and the British Empire had a profound effect upon many aspect ...

  3. but the scots didn't need a home government to be at the forefront of empire. by all accounts their role was substantial.
  4. yes, that's the only sensible way still have a problem judging the close ones, but no more than judging a close touch on the line etc the only hope for better judgement is better high speed, high resolution cameras in the appropriate positions the nrl and cricket camera work is better than the afl's work
  5. that's too logical, tu ?
  6. i'd have rivers ahead of jordan, no slur on jordan though
  7. i would have said the kick starts at the time the foot makes contact and any part of the ball is not past the line in this case the slomo video shown at the time was too fuzzy and lacking in fps. Since then i haven't seen any other slomo video released to the public
  8. i've seen some pretty useless stats over the years in many sports, but i think this one takes the cake
  9. lol, rab - english empire - love it oddly though i've read many scots arguing how scots were at the forefront of building the err... british empire as well as their many other contributions to the human race not looking for an argument - just amused and joshing also agree how welcoming, polite, intelligent poms can turn into ugly hooligans. suspect it more tied up with the still pervasive class structure remnants there again it could be blamed on the nature of soccer itself, surely a sport created in hell. scottish soccer violence included
  10. july 30 i believe. but they usually get a small number after that date.....counting errors?
  11. suggest you ring club for help asap, demonsone. at least you got a few days left.

    ?
  15. i got it.......they all represent bands?
  16. cheats and handbags to play a controversial draw, with heaps of injuries and suspensions
  17. wow, players wearing ear muffs and the old centre diamond.....i've forgotten why they changed that marks adjudicated extremely softly, same for holding the man
  18. i think it was because he was too late. another bummer in front of him opted not to man the mark and ran up the field to defend agree it's a very grey area and the initial 50m was quite technical watch it here
  19. you're totally correct but i still think the whole protected area rule/penalty is a bit of an over-reaction........but that's the rule
  20. well last week the g was capped at 25k and fully ticketted by ticketek. they said it was a sell-out, but attendance ended up over 20% down at 19.5k so i doubt they have sold 25k tickets for this week, but they will probably say they have gov has already announced no lifting of current restrictions, so the anticipated lifting to 85% capacity for this week is put off for another week you could try ringing the club as they can often help in these situations.....worth a try at least

    speaking to your gp as the gov tells us, is to determine if one's medical history contains any contra-indications for a particular vaccine before proceeding. the gp should be the keeper of our medical history or can ask relevant questions if not. so the medical specialists (cho's etc) tells us if it is ok to have a particular vaciine and under what conditions (age and other medical pre-conditions). the GP checks and discusses the medical pre-conditions that's the distinction, as i see it and of course you still have the personal freedom of choice to vaccinate or not or wait

    jaded, i'm not necessarily disagreeing, but i would not take advice from gp's on complex epidemiology issues. there is a good reason they are gp's and not specialists. i like my gp very much but he is very risk averse (like mosrt) and refers any matter that is not mundane or routine to a specialist at the drop of a hat. the average gp doesn't even do simple procedures like stitches nowadays, instead referring you to the nearest hospital er. my nephew is a orthapaedic surgeon and he disagrees with your best friend gp, as does my long standing family gp......but there again, neither are an epidemiologist either. still, i guess we are all human anyway and take advice in whatever shade of grey, wherever we can get it
