Hi, I'm Gavin from Kilmarnock. Throughout my life I've went through both unionist and nationalist phases and am currently in the latter, though only moderately.
My username comes from a phrase my former MP, William Ross, used to describe the SNP. I would describe my politics as socially and economically moderate, perhaps off to the right on the economy. During my unionist phases, I view the Conservatives as my party, another aspect to my choice in username. I support the SEP despite my pro-EU stance at the moment.
I am a melting point of Scottish, Irish, Nordic and English ancestry.

Hi Gavin, welcome to Our Scotland.
Who cares about the politics, being from Kilmarnock, I'm hoping you're a good Killie boy when it comes tae the fitba'?! 
Seriously though; welcome, no matter your politics. Always good to welcome a fellow Ayrshireman to the site.

C) You can spend other people's money on yourself, in which case price is no object but quality becomes a great concern. D) Finally, you can spend other people's money on other people, in which case neither price nor quality is of great concern."

Ah well, supporting no one is better than supporting either of the old filth.
Once again, welcome to the site.

Hi, good you're here.
I too don't care much about football. Like the world cup though.
