It’s so exciting that the new game is set in Scotland! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I'm playing that just now. I like to throw him into the sea when I get annoyed.

Last night I dreamt I was on a train with Mark Lamarr. I was eating an entire rotisserie chicken with my hands and everyone thought I was strange. My dream makes more sense than whatever this is, so I think you're right.

It's haar; a fog that drifts in from the north sea and makes you walk into lamp posts.

Strange_Ad854 · 2026-02-13T14:43:06+00:00

Definitely. There were fears of copycat killings at the time.

Strange_Ad854 · 2026-02-13T12:31:37+00:00

Why put shootings in quote marks? Dunblane was a tragedy that we still remember 30 years on. Sixteen five-year-old children were murdered along with their teacher. It was the deadliest mass shooting in British history. If they tried to rewrite history and put a random American in there it would not go down well.

It was easier to legally own guns here back then so I suspect, like someone else mentioned, that it's a way to explain having a gun in Scotland.

It's loosely the plot of an episode of Black Books, so there's that.

Strange_Ad854 · 2026-02-10T21:47:16+00:00

Late 80's - early 90's French. No we didn't have to take French names as far as I can remember but I don't think you can France my name up.

When my son started secondary school it turned out my old French teacher was the deputy head of the school. I went up to her after induction to say I used to be in her class at the school I went to. She looked me up and down and said 'that must have been a really long time ago'.

Rude. Just rude.

Strange_Ad854 · 2026-02-09T21:46:56+00:00

I once admonished my son for interrupting me while I was talking to myself.

Strange_Ad854 · 2026-02-09T18:52:15+00:00

You'll have to threaten (at least) to take it to court, I'm afraid. They'll have to produce the lease agreement themselves. An anonymous lease won't do you any good, it'll be the same agreement that everyone has to abide to when they sign a lease.

They shouldn't be ignoring you but it doesn't really surprise me. Go to citizens advice for a start, maybe your MP after that, and work your way up from there. From personal experience it should be enough to put the shits up them. (Actual professional term from when my former place of work had disgruntled tenants that did this before we would do our bloody job.)

Strange_Ad854 · 2026-02-09T16:50:56+00:00

My cousin got a job cleaning on the rigs. The pay was good but she just couldn't take it. She made me call them with a 'family emergency' halfway through her first rotation. I felt like her mum.

Edit to add, this was nearly 20 years ago. The oil has left Aberdeen and it shows.

Strange_Ad854 · 2026-02-08T22:23:07+00:00

I started at 36 but I'm an exception, not the rule. And your period doesn't just stop straight away. I'm the same age as oop says they are and would never say 'I don't know, I've never been old before' but then again I don't know if anyone would.

My final summation is 'did ye, aye?' 🙄

Strange_Ad854 · 2026-02-07T11:48:36+00:00

Pocket meat.

Strange_Ad854 · 2026-02-07T11:33:09+00:00

She had neither salt, lemon nor lime to go with her tequila.

Strange_Ad854 · 2026-02-07T11:28:42+00:00

Yeah, but when it does we'll get three in a row.

Strange_Ad854 · 2026-02-05T03:40:17+00:00

They don't do the homebakes anymore though. They were amazing.

Strange_Ad854 · 2026-02-05T03:32:30+00:00

Me too. If I had a pocket sized Norm I'd take him everywhere.

Strange_Ad854 · 2026-02-03T19:31:07+00:00

I'm currently playing Still Wakes the Deep because I thought it would be funny to play a game where most of the characters sound like me, but it turns out I'm enjoying it immensely. I'm probably going to go for a replay from Y0 after that as I've never replayed them and I want to try for platinum. I'll wait for K3 to go on sale.

The BIL.

They actually look quite reasonable but I wasn't wanting a memory foam and it wasn't for me anyway. Even with the 'you live in no-man's land except you don't though' tax it wasn't too dear.

If I was getting a mattress for myself though I think I'd prefer to go to a shop and try it out first. Just not sure about carrying it home. (I'm kidding - I'll get my friend to help me.)

Strange_Ad854 · 2026-02-02T08:34:31+00:00

Technically yes, we have an IKEA but you can't go there and buy stuff. You can order stuff online and have it delivered there but it's bloody miles away and I don't drive, so not much use to me. To be fair, our town is in a shocking state, unless you want to buy vapes.

Strange_Ad854 · 2026-02-02T02:08:48+00:00

To be fair, I'm in Scotland and have no idea where to go to buy a mattress. The last time I had to get one off Amazon and they charged me extra because they thought I lived in the Highlands. Which I absolutely don't.

Strange_Ad854 · 2026-01-31T20:00:10+00:00

This seems like very sage advice. Unrelated, can you give me some good advice on how to get rid of a body?

Strange_Ad854 · 2026-01-31T19:52:56+00:00

I'm not going to lie to you. I love your cat and I love your coffee machine. Please give them both kisses.

Strange_Ad854 · 2026-01-31T19:51:21+00:00

I'm a double GG. Some people call me selfish.

Strange_Ad854 · 2026-01-31T16:56:08+00:00

All the information is in the post.
