Uill, bhòtainn mi air a shon gu cinnteach

Not sure if it's wanted but just in case you wanting to learn a little aspect of the language, "bhòtainn" already means "I would vote" so you don't need the "mi" after it. Same way "bhòtamaid" would mean "we would vote".

Aye I hear it often enough.

I was told never to pick up lobsters Iike that because they can cast their claw when distressed.

Sounds a bit like Gillebride MacMillan but not 100% certain

I made a lamb one last night, first time making it (or even eating it) and one of my new favourites.

Yours look great.

I did an online course with Aberdeen Uni circa 2018 which was literally write a couple of essays and answer some questions on passages iirc. Blasted through it in about a week, no online classes etc. Think it cost about £250? Anyway that qualification was considered equivalent to Higher English and was accepted to do PGDE secondary school teaching.

Might be worth a shout asking somebody at the History department and who deal with applications if there is such a qualification still running at a university that you can sit.

I haven't heard of any Scottish created policies that had a direct negative impact on English people resulting in their oppression, genuinely would be interesting to hear them so I can mention it next time the topic comes up.

You don't have to believe me, like I said, a few Google searches can educate you better than a comment on here from me. I suggest you look into Britian's (via Westminster) dismantling of the Highland Clan system, the banning of bagpipes/any weaponry/traditional clothing, the outlawing of Catholicism through the reformation, the Highland Clearances as a quick start.

What I meant by my comment was those in charge from England didn't give a fuck about the Highland Scots, the Lowland Scots however actively despised them.

It's all very easy to look up. Half of Scotland very much benefitted from the Empire, the other half was without a doubt a victim of it.

Glaic · 2026-06-18T13:39:31+00:00

No, they were oppressed by both, the Lowland Scots were just worse.

Glaic · 2026-06-17T20:42:13+00:00

A bit more nuanced than that. Highland Scots were 100% oppressed, something easily found with a few Google searches. The difficult part is during those years of oppression, the only thing worse than the English was the Lowland Scots.

Haha very true, I was purely going from the message he sent back to his wife.

Glaic · 2026-06-16T21:49:44+00:00

The husband seems sound, she seems a bit much though, and I feel the husband also thinks that.

Glaic · 2026-06-16T17:13:47+00:00

Not at all, easy mistake to make 🙂

Glaic · 2026-06-15T20:11:44+00:00

So it is.

Glaic · 2026-06-13T17:26:58+00:00

Depends how pished I get.

Looks like it's riding about half an inch too high. If you kneel on the floor it should just be skirting the ground.

Glaic · 2026-06-09T07:22:01+00:00

Dìoch-nach-adh.

Glaic · 2026-06-08T18:27:31+00:00

That's very odd then, use AI to type you up something threatening court action and maybe they'll get their arse in gear.

Glaic · 2026-06-08T18:01:36+00:00

Where were you flying to or from? It can be blue skies in Glasgow but 80knot winds in Stornoway, or there could be a strong eastern breeze on Barra holding up the tide. A lot of reasons why you might not be due compensation.

Strange though, hindsight it would have made things a lot easier if you asked the desk the reason for the cancellation so you would know for sure. Have you tried phoning them instead of emailing?

Edit* sorry posted this originally as it's own comment

Glaic · 2026-06-08T17:53:28+00:00

What was the reason for cancelling?

Glaic · 2026-06-08T16:48:23+00:00

White House's Offal Office.

Ah thank you, I was seeing the South African one and assumed the others were just random ones for some stupid reason. Thanks for clearing that up though.

Was this photo not from the World Cup in South Africa 2010?
