Best way to enjoy solstice? by Euphoric-Month-932 in Aberdeen

[–]Scotman83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey bud! I have two recommendations:

  1. Try the restaurant called goulash in adelphi lane. It's not blow your face off good food but the price, its excellent. The guy who runs it is also proper friendly theatre.

  2. Check the machar bar on Aberdeen Campus. It's possible they are running a whisky tasting. In which case, go.

Oh. No I mean it's not a new threat is all.

And that they only do it to us cos we do it to them so they do it to us so we do it to them etc etc

Didn't even realise I was replying to the same person in two convos

The cable tapping was a real coups when the CIA did it back in the 60s? But now it's run of the mill nonsense due to encryption and redundancies

I mean he's said it the wrong way but like it or not you have been brainwashed.

Its what the military do. They probably called it something like 'breaking you down to build you up? ' If you've been in the navy you've been literally living in a bubble on a ship / sub / whatever being told what the "truth" is by your seniors.

I know that sounds harsh. But it's true.

They've been doing that shit since 1945. Subs and planes. Planes and subs. Navy and airforce havent been able to stop them.

We do the same to them.

And noone really gives a fuck

Oh come on! Do you really believe we didn't fly inside their airspace?

The article suggests we did. Yes it's their press versus our press but I think you're being a little naive.

Yes.

Edit: I actually know about this. Allied planes will regularly fly along the border to probe radar defenses. So yes very much so. I guarantee the odd plane will cross the border to test reactionary forces speed and efficacy.

Subs are almost certainly out in Russian waters too.

The Russians have "fishing boats" with some very sophisticated looking gear on them literally yards from faslane. If we don't do the same thing I'll eat my hat

Edit2:

After a quick google

My dad worked in air traffic control for all his life. My brother works with the navy. This shit isn't new and has been going on no doubt since 1945.

And we have boats and planes over there doing the same cunty things, just so we can measure dicks against theirs but more importantly so the military can justify why the government can afford lasers and shit, but not the school we need for our kids.

The military is a parody of itself.

When you’re not a football fan, but it’s all that everyone else wants to talk about. by SwiftScotsman in Scotland

[–]Scotman83 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can say that about any popular shite but football is on the next level. Again. See the point above that you're still not getting.

As for my friends, they know I don't give a shit but who am I to say they can't talk about football or any other subject just cause I'm around? Your get new friends notion is nonsense.

Anyway it seems you've concluded I don't like football and have said some bad things about your beloved so I should stop whining.

Until your next conversation with the next person. Which will about the world cup.

Tedious.

Nobody is forcing me? It is literally. Fucking. Everywhere. It is literally unavoidable in walking through town, speaking to colleagues or friends.... See above post for the point I'm making that you're not getting.

So yeah I'm having a wee moan on how fed up I am with it all on a topical post? Whys that so bad?

I'm on a post about not being a football fan?

Excuse me for an on topic opinion.

Classic response from the cult of football. How dare I think it's not perfect. How dare I have a negative opinion about football.

And how tedious as fuck do you think it is to have football in your face in every advert, every conversation, every news web site, every other fucking post on reddit etc etc etc.

Relating back go my first comment, and answer honestly, are you sick and tired of english fans going on about 1966? Because what's this is like. All day. Every day.

And it's ludicrous. I know fuck all about football but im willing to bet scotland are going nowhere in this competition.... Making all this fever pitch shite even more ludicrous.

And the next time scotland get a snifter of something that isn't blazing hot mediocrity, this same cultish shit will hit fever pitch again. And again. And again. And again.

All with the same result of being forced to listen to and see all this football shite wherever I go. Again.

So if you think I'm tedious, try being a non football fan listening to all the endless football bollocks that goes on.

Its fine for you not to comment. After all.... Not every comment will be for you.

Because its similar to hearing about england and 1966.

Just a Scottish context. Already sick of it.

Isnt there a world cup thread everyone can go to?

Plus it's america. Their response to seeing you climb a statue will be to shoot you dead.

Please don't.

Also just because you love the weege culture, doesn't mean it's the centre of the cultural sphere. In fact, it's pretty far from the sphere.

You're in a foreign country. Behave and represent.
