When the occupant of the Presiding Officer's chair tells a Member his time is up, it's bad form to challenge it. When told again, it's certainly ill-advised to say: "With friends like you.."
The Member will sit down.

Friends and Stuff I Like
If I've forgotten to link to you, let me know. If I don't want to link to your blog I'll pretend I never got your email.
Along with Jeff (formerly SNP Tactical Voting) and Malc (formerly In The Burgh), I now co-edit Better Nation, a group blog. Stuff will still appear here, but more will be there.

I also intermittently blog on the Scotsman's otherwise excellent Steamie.
If you want a stream of pointless and largely political observations I'm on Twitter too.

I didn't see it, was it delivered in a jokey manner? If so, it's surely just banter but given he initially challenged it (and given the MSP involved), I think you've probably got a point.
Ross Finnie raised it as a point of order and Alex Fergusson will "reflect on it".
It sounded angry to me. Given the way that phrase normally ends, I'd imagine the PO will indeed be reflecting hard.
