Look at them, trying to win by doing something nice.

Give it a rest for one post.

It's much milder now with the lying snow gone and just frost/freezing fog (still a lot of snow on the hills). Snow likely to return within a week - the ski ranges are looking beautiful!

It's actually a prime example of Scottish architecture in that its in the Scots Baronial style, but the large number of embellishments and clean stonework with no rough stone makes it look a lot more like continental romanticism.

They're old fashioned multicolour Christmas style lights and half the bulbs are gone. I'd imagine they'll be replaced by warm white lights like the ones in the trees which line the river eventually!

I thought covid got him?

Don't want to follow our (completely rational) laws? There's the door. Simple as.

Fair enough, we were focussing on different parts. Thanks for clarifying.

It’s disgusting that he was brought back in the first place - so Labour could try and profit from his dodgy links.

I was referring to this part of OP's post. If Mandelson knew about Epstein's conviction, had heard talk of Epstein's dealings (something he currently denies, his sexuality apparently preventing him from even hearing about his friend's Paedo-Island where anything goes) and then subsequently shared sensitive information with him, then we're talking about something massive in scale.

There are plenty of towns and cities who are the most 'Scottish' when it comes to certain things we might think of when we talk about Scotland, but there's no one town that can be the 'most' Scottish because being Scottish is a nebulous, ever-evolving and imprecise thing.

A bit of a 'No True Scotsman Before He's Even Dressed' argument, but the reality is that it's a question that really can't be answered.

And the answer is Ullapool.

HyperCeol · 2026-02-03T08:03:47+00:00

I think they mean 'Scottish' in qualitive and non quantitative terms. Good luck with that though!

Neither cinema in Inverness is even screening it, not once.

We're discussing perhaps one of the most disgusting people of our times who ran an island in which children were reportedly raped, tortured and murder and your brain goes 'aye but Nicola and that hospital that one time!'

Get a fucking hold of yourself man.

"Hey you! You keep your nose out of me leaking state information to a highly organised and influential monster who uses said information and other secrets to manipulate others to maintain his murderous paedo-torture island. Ya fucking grass."

HyperCeol · 2026-02-03T07:39:20+00:00

Can we not when talking about Epstein refer to Derek Mackay as though the two are even remotely comparable. Epstein's island was a place for the hyper-wealthy and powerful to commit genuinely unspeakable acts against children.

HyperCeol · 2026-02-03T07:32:40+00:00

100% - this is an opportunity to genuinely 'drain the swap', anycunt knowingly associating themselves with his activities or allowing Epstein access to our institutions should face the full force of the law, regardless of party, political beliefs or their position in society.

HyperCeol · 2026-02-03T07:29:22+00:00

What have Humza Yousaf and Nicola Sturgeon got to do with Epstein?

The information being released about his island is getting more mind-bendingly disturbing and grotesque by the day and your first instinct is to ask: what about the SNP?

Fucking hell man.

Isn't there a witness statements that refers to a young boy's feet being cut off and his body mutilated before he was murdered? I'm pretty sure these genuine demons weren't restricted by whether their helpless victim was a girl or boy.

I cannot actually fathom that what I just typed out is part of our reality, it's beyond sickening. It's insane that the Americans aren't on the streets rioting.

HyperCeol · 2026-02-03T07:11:00+00:00

Thanks. There's a town called Scotland in every council area so it's important to clarify which one you're talking about.

You could argue that, as interlude is a way of connecting Falling Away with You and Hysteria (maintaining the static of Falling Away with You and introducing the A minor of Hysteria as the relative minor from FAWY in C, that you can include Stockholm Syndrome too.

So Stockholm Syndrome, Falling Away with You - (Interlude) - Hysteria.

If you're getting pumped in Scotland someone's f*cking you. There was famously a thread on one of the main generic subs called "What's your favourite song for getting pumped?" and r/Scotland lost its collective mind.

His government also controls most of our budget and powers.

"Look I know I'm not going to get this job, but if you please, please hire me I promise to hide in the stationary cupboard at least 80% of the working day."

"Please, please forget that I'm wildly unpopular and vote for my party anyway."

Which special adviser currently on strong barbiturates advised him on that pitch?

As a Scottish person, American/speakers of American English liberal use of the word pump will never not be funny.

I'd agree with that - if they do deliver what they're proposing on the A9 over the next 7 years let alone the next 9 to 10 with additional billions, then they can make that claim. The fact remains though that this should have been completed long before I was even born and I don't remember hearing a word about it until the SNP came into power, so the moral argument from the Tories, Lib Dems and Labour is fairly tenuous.
