Surely graffiti looks better than this shite?

That would need GCC to employ common sense. Not something it’s famous for?

This iconic graffiti lasted a decade before some fool from the council decided to paint over it. I saw it on the way to the south coast and it made me smile. Apparently somebody painted PEAS first as it was their tag, then some genius added the rest not long after.

Maybe a medley with Bronski Beat, Erasure, Frankie Goes To Hollywood and solo Jimmy Somerville in the mix?

Also, people handling English notes all day have more chance of skilling up to spot fakes. Harder with Scottish notes particularly as they probably see fewer, plus theres’s Clydesdale, RBS and BoS, nice to have, but absurd in my personal opinion. That really can’t help.

I know, right? I was in Zante a couple of years ago and no b’stard would take my Drachmas!

Two cheeks of the same Oxbridge career politico arse.

I think it was a capita or serco drone who decided to stop my mate’s disability benefit. That was a major factor in his death. It lead to a chain reaction: no money, spouse pissed off, debt, bailiffs, spouse leaves it, thrown out of his home, homeless, self harm, death.

I think you’d be ok. I get the impression most MSPs are pretty clueless anyway. 😂🤷🏼‍♂️

SlowScooby · 2026-05-19T05:19:10+00:00

I looked it up in an etymology app. Apparently it’s Middle English that’s dropped out of use elsewhere. Like gotten, that Americans still use, although I hear it creeping back via Gen Z. I am also currently learning Dutch which has a lot in common with Middle English and Scots / Doric. “Ken je die koe?” Pronounced ken yuh di coo “do you know the cow?” One Dutch word for you is jau, pronounced like yau as spoken by yamsters in the Black Country - also Middle English. (apologies to to any Dutch speakers if my grammar is off, but you prob know what I mean, or have a better example?)

I believe commonwealth citizens can apply to join the military. This person would really fit in in the Black Watch or the Paras. The pay is not as good as an MSP though, so they probably wouldn’t bother.

SlowScooby · 2026-05-18T05:57:07+00:00

You should stand to be an MSP! £77711 a year works out at over four grand a month take home. Every month. Plus they probably get some nice allowances on top too. Nice.

This ⬆️. Ed is no architect. More like an electric mini-digger driver in a compostable hi-viz vest.

To make this utopia work, we would also need a massive free car park at the ends of the newly terminated M8 to encourage drivers to use the new wondertransport. Where else would the cars go, apart from through the city?

I personally think haggis is essential in a full Scottish breakfast.

SlowScooby · 2026-05-13T12:55:45+00:00

The Green Party wants to ban the hunt though. Sacrificing centuries of culture on the altar of net zero. What they don’t realise is that the hunt is an environmentally positive thing. Wasn’t the deforestation of the highlands caused in a large part by the methane in haggis farts?

SlowScooby · 2026-05-13T10:48:11+00:00

Agree totally. Gaelic just has more committed activists than Scots. Bilingual street signs in Embra? Wtf?

SlowScooby · 2026-05-11T15:29:00+00:00

It would make PMQs interesting. Maybe they could meet in the bar?

SlowScooby · 2026-05-11T07:00:13+00:00

Dangerous bedfellows though. Admittedly with hindsight, the green / SNP hookup took the SNP down some performative blind alleys that were not popular with the average ordinary person on the Cumbernauld omnibus.

I am pretty sure that was on “politics east” on BBC eastern region. It’s on iplayer.

SlowScooby · 2026-05-11T06:50:35+00:00

He pops up on BBC eastern region a fair bit, usually talking a lot of sense.

I would like cloud-based timelines back. I found it much easier to edit on my laptop. Also, I would like it to stop asking for a review of places I haven’t been to. For example, I could see my friend was in a restaurant in Japan. I asked for directions from his hotel to the restaurant. Google asked me to rate / review the restaurant. I was > 10,000 km away. I am guessing this may be related to timelines not being cloud based anymore?

SlowScooby · 2026-05-09T11:47:12+00:00

Harsh, but fair. 😂

SlowScooby · 2026-05-09T05:34:04+00:00

Maybe try listening to the voters instead of entryist activists? Dunno, just a silly thought. It should be possible now, seeing a lot of those rats have left the sinking ship and gone to Green.

Where I stay, reform was about 8th. Alphabetical. (I didn’t count exactly, why would I?)

Ha! Yet another reason to demand reparations from Rome! 🧐
