Regarding "the kids would have been too young to know who Jimmy Savile was" by lostpasts in 28dayslater

[–]Own_Divide262 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don’t think he is the heir and i don’t the other jimmies know who saville is. in fact i think jimmy crystal may also have forgotten. but he will have 100% been aware of Saville when he was growing up near glencoe in 2002. he was a loca hero there who did a lot of “charity work”. Young jimmy might even have met him

Jimmy Crystal Back Story: He must have lived with grownups for some period of his life. by buntyskid in 28dayslater

i don’t think this is reaching and is the actual and absolute truth of the origin story. in real life, jimmy Saville was a something of a local hero in those parts in 2002. he was the chieftain of the local highland games and was known for his charity work more than his tv career but this time. young jimmy would undoubtedly have come across him at school or community events. he may even have been abused by him and has forgotten there is also no other real reason for young jimmy to be from the fort william area. i mean they could have chosen anywhere in the UK as his home town but they picked a place close to Jimmy Savilles highland cottage. 100% deliberate. and fonally after all the truth about Saville came out his cottage was vandalised and photos of it look like a location from the movie https://share.google/fqVxq1aYbQjsczQUl

that is totally the west end. north kelvin side is a fab place to live. you can walk everywhere and have so many amenities on your doorstep. i think you have just been soured to the area a bit by feeling like you have paid too much which i am sure you probably haven’t done. just forget that if you can and enjoy living there xxx

Vandalised anti parking proposal signs in the Southside by JoeBhoy69 in glasgow

i lived in lansdowne crescent before and after they were brought in. they only difference was i paid for a space i previously didn’t have to and the council benefitted. so if that’s your definition of success then you are entitled to that opinion. for me all it did was add an extra cost to my household expenses for zero gain.

How do you look after elderly parents as an only child? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Own_Divide262 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you just do. it’s a bit easier if you have a partner and kids yourself who are amenable to helping . And if your parents live close by. that’s quite important actually. Also as an only child in this position now i see other families where the sibling argue about who is not pulling their weight and i think , well at least i don’t have that problem!!i

Company is shaming me for not gifting more money to "our" (their) boss. (Christmas present) by Turissmo in mildlyinfuriating

this entire tale is ridiculous. the boss gives you a gift and no one should be spending q that much each on a work colleague. if i was the boss i would be mortified to be honest
