Yeah, you have to read the whole way through to get the point of the website, the links are particularly good. I think its a British website set up to actually point out to the Americans that their "Boycott Scotland" plans wont work if they wanted to do it properly. I'm astounded by how many things have been invented by Scottish people.

See we really aren't all like the ones you see on the telly on Britain's Got Talent, X Factor, Big Brother etc.... ha ha

Very true, so what did you invent? I'm pretty sure from that list everyone in Scotland has invented something.

It's like when American threatened to rename French fries to "freedom fries" after France refused to join the war or something

As someone who is 1/8th Scotch, that is a bit of an overreaction

Edit - oh, read the whole thing, oopsie!

Don't worry, I did the same, someone on facebook didn't click on the link and only read the link name and the opening paragraph that facebook put up and went into a "About time too, I completely agree *general scot hatred rant*"

Oh it's American. I thought it was an arsey Englishman.

no. the english have to get walked all over and say nothing back, i'm sure of it.

amazing how much inventions did come from scotland.

but i'm glad most people are recognising that it's the scottish parlaments choice to let him go, and has nothing to do with downing street. i feel it's a discrace personally, people like him should be made an example of and left to rot in jail. proper jail.

on the grid.

I am not privy to enough information as to his release or conviction to make a balanced judgement on the whole affair. My only viewpoint is don't believe anything written in the papers, particularly the tabloid comic variety.

most of the things listed are wrong !

the telephone was invented by Antonio Meucci http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_Meucci Alexander Graham Bell was the first to patent it. (Meucci set up a form of voice communication link in his Staten Island home that connected the basement with the first floor. He filed a patent caveat for his device in 1871, which was not renewed after 1874. In 1876, Alexander Graham Bell patented the electro-magnetic transmission of vocal sound by undulatory electric current.)

wire rope for bridges was invented by Wilhelm Albert http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_Albert (In 1829, he observed, studied and reported the failure of iron mine-hoist chains arising from repeated small loadings, the first recorded account of metal fatigue1. He also invented a novel intertwined cable which was first used in the Clausthal Caroline mine in 1834)

fingerpriniting was invented by William Herschel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Herschel (The following month Sir William Herschel, a British civil servant based in India, wrote to Nature saying that he had been using fingerprints (as a form of bar code) to identify criminals since 1860. However, Herschel did not mention their potential for forensic use.He removed his own prints with chemicals and discovered that they grew back in the same pattern.)

the hypodermic needle was invented by Ammar ibn 'Ali al-Mawsili'

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ophthalmology_in_medieval_Islam (Ophthalmology was one of the foremost branches in medieval Islamic medicine. The oculist or kahhal (کحال), a somewhat despised professional in Galen’s time, was an honored member of the medical profession by the Abbasid period, occupying a unique place in royal households. The specialized instruments used in their operations ran into scores. Innovations such as the “injection syringe”, a hollow needle, invented by Ammar ibn Ali of Mosul, which was used for the extraction by suction of soft cataracts, were quite common.)

also before 1853

(# c. 1650: Blaise Pascal invented a syringe (not necessarily hypodermic) as an application of what is now called Pascal's law.

# 1760: Forms of intravenous injection and infusion began.

# 1844: Irish physician Francis Rynd invented the hollow needle and used it to make the first recorded subcutaneous injections, specifically a sedative to treat neuralgia.)

Scotland may be independent, but where would they be without English, Welsh & Northern Irish tax payers ?

that guy wants to get his facts right.

it wouldn't surprise me if trade with Libya didn't have something to do with it, Phony bLiar, Gordon Down, & Peter 'Prince of Darkness' Mangelson, cannot be trusted !!!

PS, im not being anti-Scottish, just saying that the facts are wrong.

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      By Dan18F1 · Posted

      The Summer on Radio 1 thing makes me wonder whether they might be doing something similar to last year again where they have a temporary schedule over the summer before introducing changes in September - maybe the new host won’t start until after the summer?

      Radio 1's Big Weekend 2024

      By Jono · Posted

      There was talk on my Big Weekend group from the council about them waiting for Ticketmaster to send an email out. They said they've been waiting a week. Maybe they're waiting for train strike confirmation first.

      It’s on Saturday and Friday that week too. I guess this would make sense, as it gives them roughly 6 weeks off weekends until they start the new show?

      Yeah he's on more than usual including this Sunday and then 3 more shows in May according to the above. Makes me think it's James for the weekend shows also

      For some reason there is 'Summer on Radio 1' listed on Sunday 2nd June, could this be replacing M&M until July?

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      Yep am very much Capital Breakfast now. Jordan, Chris and Sian are a great trio and it's got that feel of the old shows Jordan and Chris used to do on Radio 1. It doesn't take itself too seriously but is packed full of content and slick. With Greg he's great but 6 years in you've probably heard it all before plus frankly I can sit through the Capital Playlist a lot more easily than the Radio 1 playlist (where some of the inclusions and omissions can be quite baffling at times). Plus after things like the Oscars or Met Gala or if there's a particularly big TV show or film or popstar then Greg won't half wang on about it at times. I guess it's partly to be expected with it being a Breakfast show on a young station but it can feel very London bubble and get tired.

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By Rob86 · Posted

      I honestly never thought in a million years I’d move from Radio 1 to be a regular Capital breakfast show listener. But it’s got pretty much everything I want - 3 really genuine, entertaining mates having a laugh, playing silly games and it all sounds great. I became a big fan of Chris from his days with Scott, became a Jordan fan on Going Home, and Sian Welby is newer to me but is loads of fun too.  It’s great and I’ve shocked myself by transferring my listening at breakfast. For me Greg’s show now feels very tired and it’s time for something new. But with Jordan gone that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Greg’s had a great run and I’m a fan - but there’s no new ideas now. I still listen to Radio 1 at other times - but this show feels like very serious competition for Greg.

      The eighth floor

      By Lily Georgia · Posted

      They have built four new studios to increase capacity, alongside the existing six.  Bearing in mind that some of the output of R1, 1X, R2 & 6M comes from elsewhere, and Asian Network is gradually moving all output to Birmingham, this should be enough!

      How do they manage to cater for 6Music and Radio 2 on that floor? Did they adapt it?

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By Bluestraw · Posted

      I think we've all figured out now how much you like it @AndyK77 😂 Personally while I think it's by far the best show on the Capital schedule and better than its predecessor, it still has the shortened songs and other commercial-radio aspects that remind me why I'm a Radio 1 fan. No matter how well this has worked out for Jordan, and all credit to him for landing the job, I can't help but feel that a Jordan and Katie show on R1 breakfast would have been so much better!

      A few weeks in and I am actually loving the show and Jordan is a nice mix of his old chaotic self and dare I say it a slick jock.

      Rylan and Scott

      By xxladybarefootxx · Posted

      I really like Rylan, and as much of a fun idea it would be to have Scott and Rylan together, I think Rylan is too much of a main character.  Scott needs a side-kick rather than a full on co-host I think. That’s why he and Chris worked so well, Scott steered the show, and Chris was the perfect person to have alongside him.    I don’t religiously listen to Rylan’s show, but when I do catch it, it’s perfect weekend energy. He has a very warm presenting style too, but something makes me think he and Scott together every day would be a bit too much.
