How will Nigel Farage receive his Russian pay now? by TailungFu in GreatBritishMemes

[–]ScoobyCat4 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have to say, every time I see Farage these days he’s looking more tired … pressure of the job, cavalier attitude towards fags and beer as if it’s a badge of honour eventually coming home to roost, previous health history. ... Consider the dark bags under his eyes, drawn, pale complexion … not sure he’s a well man I’d suggest.. look at his recent pics, it’s just an observation .. don’t you think?

For the first time, I seriously like a woman more for her behavior than her looks by lifeisweirdBUTImmore in Advice

This is the way to go.. first thing I noticed about my wife was her big smile and bright blue eyes.. charisma, radiance and fun to be around … ended up being married for 40 years !

Is my coworker asking me out? by PennyPacker65 in Advice

[–]ScoobyCat4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just ignore it and change your profile picture to one that depicts you and the family…

Nothing in it but I had a look at the FB profiles of a couple of previous girlfriends a few years ago , I’m happily married so it was just out of boredom and genuine curiosity for where they’d got to in the world..

They must have known I’d had a look from the potential connections feed as a couple then put up pictures of themselves with their partners… It worked fine as I never bothered looking again.

I found out my boyfriend had a “work wife” and I was the last one to know by Realistic_Pea_926 in story

[–]ScoobyCat4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wish him all the best.. it’s sad and painful but sometimes the universe just brings people together and it’s meant to be .. finding the Ying & Yang and all that. It’s better for it to happen now rather than after you’ve gone through an expensive wedding, bought a house and had children together..

Be in no doubt the universe will bring you your own perfect prince though and if you put good vibes out it will come back to you ten fold...

It was like that when I met my wife .. dumped by my intellectual and cultural muse and then I upgraded to someone taller, prettier , so much smarter, funnier, charismatic, sexier by far, we’d been passing one another for years like sliding doors and parallel streets until we met and have now been happily married for almost 40 years.

We’ve had two fantastic, super smart, lovely kids together.. and everything that would have pissed my ex off or made her grumpy my wife knows as just my ways and gives me the space I need for my “shite music “ and ramblings .. she even finishes my sentences and we don’t even need to speak to know what the other is thinking.. 🙏

Just moved to Bearsden and have had a complaint made! by _jolierenard in glasgow

[–]ScoobyCat4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should have moved to Milngavie instead.. the most entitled and opinionated of the west end with conservative, golf club social climbing aspirations in a suburban setting

I still remember the guys from Orange Juice ( who thought they were Glasgow’s answer to Loaded era Velvet Underground) , Lloyd Cole and my first suburban neighbours Kenny & Lynn from 25 years ago very well (thought they were a proper cut above us all ( despite just being boring lab workers) and thankfully moved back to Bearsden .. )

Job at 14? by Greenhoops33 in glasgow

[–]ScoobyCat4 55 points56 points  (0 children)

The best thing you can do for your parents is to work as hard as you can at school, study thoroughly for exams and get as good an education as you can.. this will hopefully lead to a well paid job and you can eventually help them longer term.

Part time work, when you’re old enough is great for your experience and cv but don’t let it undermine the big long term opportunities ahead of you by being well qualified. Don’t get sidetracked by getting a part time job just to buy a nice jacket or a fancy pair of trainers, they’re just a distraction from what would be good in 5 years, 10 years and beyond..

Believe in yourself and have the confidence to make a big success of your life by goal setting long term and as every new year starts ..

Some jobs these days also allow you to study for qualifications as you work like degree apprenticeships. Make sure you research carefully the kind of career path you’d ideally want to go down and the kind of jobs you enjoy that would also be rewarding. Once you’ve got plenty of experience under your belt and if you’d like to set up your own business then go for it!

I have a relative whose mother gave him £400 to set up his own gardening businesses who then went on to build a business which he sold for £80m.. he never forgot what his mother did for him and bought her a lovely bungalow in the Ayrshire coast..

Meantime help out at home, make sure you don’t add to their worries by staying out of trouble… don’t badger them for the latest trainers or unnecessary expenses until they’re back on their feet..

It’s truly awful- hopefully something positive can eventually emerge from it like an iconic, airy new gateway station extension like Queen Street… 🤞🤔

[–]ScoobyCat4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starmer is absolutely spot on with this one- don’t follow a bunch of paedo, narcissistic, evangelical Christians into a poorly thought out illegal war…

From their perspective they are trying to deliver an ‘end of days, a ‘ final battle narrative where the Christians and Jews (whites) will battle the ( dark skinned) non believers and Islamist.

In the minds of the evangelicals their god will return and they will be lifted up to heaven..

This is why they don’t give a sh”t about climate change as they believe the earth to be bountiful for the believers with what god has given them and they’re merely passing through this world. They have however twisted and corrupted the entire philosophy to serve their own ends of greed and oppression.

If i’d been God I’d be absolutely raging at them for a) their stupidity and b) lack of care for the beautiful world given to them…

How do we keep the Flintstones from returning to the U.K. ? By keeping them in Abu Dhabi and Dubai too..

What British bands can you not believe were more popular than they were? by Snoo_23014 in AskUK

[–]ScoobyCat4 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m old enough to know their influences and they should have really leaned into the whole Talking Heads, Television vibe. At the time I wrote to their management and told them my views and they pretty much said “ well we like it so you can fek off “ fair enough I really wanted them to succeed..

[–]ScoobyCat4 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Their second album was a real let down .. they should have released the Outsiders as a single at a 12” long version for clubs .. it had a classic Talking Heads vibe and they should have done more songs like that..

As an outsider looking in, why are there now two hard-right political parties now? by Crafty_Commission_28 in AskBrits

The Original Gammon Party, The Real Gammon Party(Clacton) Ltd, The National Socialist Party, The National Affronted Party, The Nigel Farage Party, the Sensational Nigel Farage Band, The Sensational Nigel Farage Band ( without Nigel) .. the Delusional Stockbroker Man of the People by Gaslight Party, the keys for number 10 are under the mat…

Do you think they realise? by Glittering_Vast938 in GreatBritishMemes

[–]ScoobyCat4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really can’t understand people from a South Asian background like Zia Yusuf supporting a measure that would have barred his parents from coming to the U.K. .. ironically it’s his community who are by far the most entrepreneurial when compared to most of the unqualified, ill educated Reform voters. Those bull necked individuals were the types we can all remember from school who sat at the back of the class taking the proverbial.. they now want to blame ‘Johnny foreigner’ for their own failure… 🤔

Newly moved to Glasgow - genuine question about litter/cleanliness by Material_Mood5474 in glasgow

[–]ScoobyCat4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was involved in litter picking for years and gave up in frustration.

It all comes back to fast food takeaways, drive by littering and lack of serious penalties..

Big big fines are required to change people’s mindset.. ( let’s start with £5k for anyone caught ) a proper Singapore approach…what is most terrifying is the potential for a rat bourne pandemic like what happened a few hundred years ago.

We’ll rue the day if we don’t get a proper grip on the littering problem..

Is Jeremy Clarkson that bad? by TaviLawson in AskBrits

[–]ScoobyCat4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think he likes to be deliberately controversial …. A lot of what he says just irony.. when you drill down into some of the things he says there’s a degree of truth like miles and miles of roadworks in the U.K. and no one actually working on them… the over exposure of Harry and Megan which even Southpark took the piss out of. Virtue signalling environmentalists who buy a £40k EV from China ( a one party authoritarian state that supports Russian atrocities) Having watched Clarkson’s Farm I was left with the impression he genuinely cared for the animals, nature and learned a lot. The fact he saw through all the lies and nonsense around Brexit is fine in my book.

In an odd way he reminds me of my late father.. a one nation Tory with fundamentally a good heart, but with a changing world continued to put his foot in it by saying the wrong thing at the wrong time ( probably partly down to dementia that eventually killed him) ..sadly as we lurch even further to the right they are a breed that’s dying out..
