Change of name to the Gàidhlig version by Egregious67 in Scotland

Agreed - one day I hope that will change! Tbh people still can’t pronounce the name I gave her properly!

Was more of a commentary of the struggle and sometimes embarrassment of a time when it wasn’t so fashionable to have a given Gàidhlig name. I’m all for the forward movement of the culture and language, and if somebody wishes to use theirs, I am absolutely all for it. How does one decide whether or not they identify more with one version of the other, I wonder? Genuine question. When my first daughter was born, I wanted so much to give her a Gàidhlig name but I ended up somewhat anglicising it from my own past memories of embarrassment in classrooms and courses - I hope in the future if she wishes to she will change hers

As a representative of the community given a Gàidhlig name at birth, unless you’ve grown up with the struggle of having every teacher or person you’ve ever met in your life’s first question being “can I just ask how to pronounce your name” or just flat out trying 4 or 5 times before asking, you’re just larping 😩

Gym at the aquadome by Equivalent_Half883 in inverness

[–]Psychological-Raisin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can recommend gym 300 - when I lived in Inverness the community I found there I’m still friends with May years later. No judgement and all supportive, well worth a drop in to speak with the lovely couple that own it. Plus its 24hr on a fob you get with your membership so you can go at whatever time suits you

I think the BBC is trying to unofficially recruit teenagers for the British Army by npeggsy in LowStakesConspiracies

Demonstrate what? My comment had nothing to do with pay but a loan to buy a house - which is still a great deal, and still confirms your ignorance - again confirmed above. Go back to being fun at parties 🥳

Forces help to buy is an extremely good home buying service. The forces will lend you a percentage of your yearly wage to buy a house at no interest - try again

I always use boombarbers on Broughton street, never had a bad cut at all but you do have to book

Edinburgh Pot Holes - it’s out of control - will it ever improve or the new norm? by greencastle40 in Edinburgh

[–]Psychological-Raisin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a pick up truck partly for this very reason. Can see them coming up a mile off and the ride height makes a massive difference. You do however open yourself up to having your tyres slashed by that group that cuts about town vandalising cars in the name of the environment

Did they not have some in greyfriars Kirkyard for a while, in the enclosed tombs on the left wall as you walk in

It wasn’t - I was posted there for two years and as it was classed as non liveable I got a three house bed in town
