Highland (lack of) Titles…
…or an examination of the ALMIGHTY KEEPER. So imagine A wants to sell B their magazine. They’d form a contract. A would agree to give B the magazine and, in return, B would agree to pay A money for them. There are two rights created here, along with two obligations: A has a right to payment and an obligation to deliver the magazine. B has a … Continue reading Highland (lack of) Titles…
A ‘Secure’ Future for Rangers
…or why fans are probably right to worry. In what seems to be the never-ending Rangers saga – we have a new chapter.

…or why I’m very happy my dad has finally adopted a smart phone. It’s been an exciting time in the Cruikshank house-hold. My dad, after years of holding-out, my dad has finally adopted a smartphone. I say ‘adopted’ since it’s my wee brother’s old one. A hand-me-up if you will. I didn’t think it would last.
