61. Downhill Mountain Bike Track Beside The Hillend Ski Slope!! 
Hillend used to allow mountainbikers to take their bikes up on the chairlift to access the trails near by.
This service was stopped several years ago and now there are more downhill mountainbikers than ever that would use the chairlift if the ski centre ran the service.
62. Elliot Minor should dress like women...
This is a petition for all those who believe that elliot minor should embrace their scottish routes and in a vaguely linked way show their feminine side by wearing kilts on stage at one/all of their scottish gigs.
Also, alexs attempt at a scottish accent at edinburgh let us down and we now feel its time for payback... ;)
But its really just to show us how much they actually love us ;P
63. Save the Golspie Gala Week Wheelbarrow Race
Please also sign our official petition by clicking on the link above.
www.golspievillage.com/gala.
thank you
The Golspie Gala Week wheelbarrow race could be scrapped, after complaints from drivers caught up in the traffic.
The traffic which is only stopped for about an hour, could easily be diverted over the back road.
This event only happens once a year, and with it being in its 35th year in 2008, lets hope we can keep it going.
64. Scoliosis Testing In Schools
My petition is to help raise awareness for scoliosis by sending this petition, with the following aims to the PM and MP'S.
To test a child for scoliosis at certain ages will take less than a minute (with a forward bend test) but will help the child as 1 in 3000 people have scoliosis (curvature of the spine) so bad they have to have major surgery, which takes months to fully recover from. if they were tested earlier then this could have been prevented , in some cases, by use of a brace.
So please sign this petition and help children across the U.K.
65. Campaign to Sack Bungling Referee Manuel Mejuto Gonzalez
The 42 year old Accounts Manager from La Felguera, Spain shocked Football Fans worldwide as he gifted Italy a Free Kick after Alan Hutton was the victim of a heavy barge/tackle when he was nowhere near the ball, by Italian player Chiellini.
Everyone could see it as a Scotland Free Kick but somehow the bungling Manuel and his eejit of a linesman Juan Carlos Jimenez thought otherwise.
It was not the only decision he got wrong that day, but it was the most costly.
We wish we could replay the game again but this is the next best thing and we call on UEFA and FIFA to grow a pair of balls and finally sort out the bungling referees of the world.
We want Justice for Scotland and Justice for the lads who played their heart and soul out on the rain soaked Hampden pitch on Saturday 17th November 2007.
FOR 300 YEARS SCOTLAND HAS BEEN RULED BY A FOREIGN LAND, ENGLAND. I LIKE MANY BELIEVE IT IS TIME WE BECAME A NATION ONCE AGAIN.
WE SHOULD REMOVE OURSELVES FROM THE UNION AND BECOME INDEPENDENT SO WE DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR SUCH THINGS AS; THE MILLENNIUM DOME; THE 2012 OLYMPICS; TONY BLAIR'S £5M TRAVEL BILLS.
WE SHOULD BE IN CONTROL OF OUR OWN LAND, OUR OWN RESOURCES, OUR OWN COUNTRY!!!
67. Defend the Nations - Scotland, England, Wales
Why should Scots be governed by people in London as well as Edinburgh? Why can't the people of England have a national parliament? Why does Wales have to be led by its larger neighbor? Why can't Scotland, England, and Wales be independent nations AND partners together?
More and more, these questions are being asked. The answer? Abolish the union and begin forging a new partnership as sovereign nations with a valuable interest and investment in each other.
The time is now. Add your voice today.

70. Stop discrimination against Diploma Students at Aberdeen Uni
December 18, 2005
Current policy at the University of Aberdeen dictates that only students who are graduating from a degree course are entitled to take part in the formal graduation ceremonies.
Students undertaking Diploma courses, such as the Professional Graduate Diploma in Education (Primary and Secondary), are not allowed to graduate in person, instead, having to graduate in absentia.
We feel that this is an incredibly discriminatory policy and would like to see this policy changed to allow diploma students to have their achievements recognised and celebrated along with the rest of the student body.
71. Build Wind Farms in the Strathbraan area
We are FOR building wind farms in the Strathbraan area.
72. Vogt Out Vogts - Save our Scottish Team
Actually the History of this should have started a few years ago. Bertie Vogts should have been Expelled from the position of Scottish Coach for the National Football team years ago.
Recently Mr Vogts and the Scotland team have been getting a lot of bad press recently, for obvious reasons, if your a Scotland Supporter. A Sunday league team in a First Division Playoff. I put it to you the Scottish Supporter that we get a Scotsman at the Helm of our sinking ship that is the National Team. At least that way we'll maintain a Pride which has been missing for the duration of the Vogts Administration.
The Moldovan fiasco was the final straw for me personally, how UNANIMATED could a coach be, there was no love or pride in that man, how then can that same pride be felt in the team. We have spirit and determination but we have no pride, not the old pride that Scotland is so famous for.
GO ON, BRING IT BACK TO SCOTLAND
73. To Reinstate Ginny Monroe as Director of Nursing at Scotland County Care Center
We the Residents and Tax payers of Scotlnad wish to have Ginny Monroe Reinstated as the Director of Nursing at Scotland County Care Center and ask for the Resignation of Kathy Shoop, the current administrator of Scotland County Care Center.
74. Reduce Scottish Petrol Prices
Scotland has the highest petrol prices in the world. The Chancellor is taxing petrol at 333% compared with 50% for luxury goods. That means £7.60 out of every £10 spent on petrol is tax. It makes it more expensive to catch a bus, or to fly out on holiday. And it means you pay more for goods in shops. It is not a green tax it's a mean tax. Other countries have far better environmental records and more effective public transport systems. All have lower fuel taxes.
