What a paranoid, boring ramble from Putin at the Kremlin.

Im a firm believer in " Two sides to every story. Whilst Putin is a despot no doubt about that.. we in the west are being fed some right bull**** propaganda hard to know what's really happening. Take that Gas pipeline thats been blown up as an example. The Nordsteam 2 pipe line was built to allow Russia to supply Gas to western Europe without paying tranist fees to Ukraine and Poland. Russia faced huge pressure from Poland Ukraine and the Yanks not to build it ! There really was massive opposition

And now they are expecting us to believe it was the Russians who blew it up themselves !! Really ? make no sense at all . First casualty of War inat.

On the subject of cold cases. I well mind going into Pittodrie one afternoon and finding a detective waiting the other side of the turnstyle, Show me your hands he said ! just at the point I was shifting my £1 deal into my wee Levi pocket ! Seems the night before you Taxi driver had been done in wi a cheesewire !

That happened as described, but I think the murder was a couple of weeks before the feds’ turnstile activity. What I remember most about it is that somebody sweaty and bloodstained was witnessed in the chipper (aye, chipper) at Mannofield around the time of the garotting, and there was a manhunt based on this.

Nae even in The Simpsons, or Father Ted has the plotline been as outrageous as to have a character think, “I’ve just murdered a man, by fuuck I couldna half go a mock chop supper”.

Is that the same case as the 'guy in an Iron Maiden T-shirt in the Sports Bar' story that has been in the news recently?

And what are the new developments in the Nairn Doorstep case StandfreeFM? I've still got my security clearance.

Ach who knows. Bluff, double bluff. It could be the Americans it could be the Ruskies. Straight out the Ruskie playbook though, would America risk leaving any evidence pointing to it being them?

No doubting Putin is helping himself to 20% of another sovereign country though.

I don’t think so.

And what are the new developments in the Nairn Doorstep case StandfreeFM? I've still got my security clearance.

Some local, now reckoned to be a decade younger than originally thought, with a collection of guns, who also was a regular at the hotel near the victim’s house, and the murdered hun boy had objected to an outside dining area at said boozer.

It’s certainly escalated from putting dog****e through somebody’s letterbox.

The iron maiden t-shirt thing is the taxi driver garrotting and at least clears my mates name.
He lived with his folks in Pifodels and was being questioned by the police about his whereabouts when his mother said " No Graham, that was the night you were late home"

Thanks Ma


If we're going to go back to old murders then what about the wino that was murdered in the hardgate or thereabouts circa 1979

My brother was questioned about that as he hung around the area.
Of course he couldn't remember where he was on the night in question but thought it was a safe bet to say that he was in a local chipper chatting up the quines.

Turned out the chipper was closed that week for holidays.

He was at college in Edinburgh, they sent a couple of hoods down to drive him back up to Aberdeen for questioning.
I think he may have shat himself.

Pipelines?
My money is on the Yanks, perhaps even by accident.
Well not an accident that the explosive was there but an accident that they set it off.
" what's this button for?"

It wasn't me.

Weirdo

"...the murdered hun boy..."

Superb attention to detail shown here. You all could learn a lot from 57V's ability to focus on the important things. Do better.

[Mason89]

So McDowell has taken the fall.
Stories and tales abound up here....

Should the A/Mad police squad keep the case open?

Should the A/Mad police squad keep the case open?

Always pays to, I'd say.
Word is, someone should keep an eye on his Missus.

Donsdaft incoming..........

I wouldn't have bothered reading it if it wasn't for Sneckie.

I've always found him quite funny, although I accept that was years ago.

So that proves the point, women comedians are not funny.*
