Scottish Football League in General
 Scottish Football League in General ... Scotland, comprising the Scottish First Division, Scottish Second Division and Scottish Third Division. Each season the winners of the First Division are eligible to be promoted to the Scottish Premier League providing their stadium meets certain criteria.

Falkirk F.C.'s failure to meet these demands resulted in their being refused promotion despite winning the First Division in 2002/03; at that time, the SPL required 10,000 seats for its member clubs.

What s the capital of England? Is it… A: Germany B: A banana C: London D: An ironing board The recent premium phone line scandal revelations have been brewing for a long time.

It’s pretty clear that if the answer options to the questions are really easy a lot of people will ring in and so you have no chance of winning. The fact that lots of people have indeed rung in must be the reason why the questions have got easier and easier. The revenue ...

Set aside, purposefully for the youngest of viewers, Rediffusion (who later were bought out by Thames Television) produced the first moving pictures of an early Monty Python team plus a couple of others. Shot wholly in black and white, ‘Do Not Adjust Your Set,’ was designed to warm towards children, despite the unchildlike title. Appearing along side the hap hazard antics of Eric Idle, Michael Palin and Terry Jones, a very timid and almost squeaky clean to the grit of TV life, was a totally unknown David Jason.
