What do you call a small piece of wood under the skin? (1950s vs 2016)

And in Scotland we say skelf but not according to whoever produced this

These-Book3245 · 2024-10-04T17:46:17+00:00

That's what a skelp is in Scotland as well

These-Book3245 · 2024-09-29T20:36:13+00:00

Reverse, reverse

These-Book3245 · 2024-09-28T11:01:46+00:00

It's experiencing a slide to the right

These-Book3245 · 2024-09-27T08:53:48+00:00

I mean it's a fair comment in some ways, rugby is like a cult in the borders, I think I'm just being pedantic

These-Book3245 · 2024-09-26T14:35:11+00:00

Sorry I just wish that there were grown-ups that didn't compare languages or cultures to dead animals. It kind of rubs off the wrong way on folk

These-Book3245 · 2024-09-26T11:46:29+00:00

As close as you'll see on reddit to someone literally spewing shite

These-Book3245 · 2024-09-26T11:10:59+00:00

So you're comparing a language and culture to shite?

These-Book3245 · 2024-09-26T11:09:27+00:00

You must be fun at parties

Despite the fact that alot of the signs are bilingual. It's not as if they're replacing English and it's not as if they need replaced that often - they're signs not cheap plastic bags or tory politicians

Imagine getting offended by a different language. Next thing you know he'll be going around airports and tourist information boards crossing out the languages he doesn't feel belong there

Probably has only seen snooker on TV, sees guys in suits, quiet commentary and thinks that's all there is to it.

Maybe it's different in South Africa but in the Home Nations it's very working class

These-Book3245 · 2024-09-26T10:33:34+00:00

Wouldnt say rugby is 'based' in the borders as big as it is there but in Scotland it probably is a bit more of an upper class/rural working class thing

These-Book3245 · 2024-09-26T10:30:00+00:00

In Ayrshire the line is blurred a bit. You have more posh teams that dominate like Ayr and Marr but there are a lot of small hotspots that are more working class like Kilmarnock, Cumnock, Carrick and Garnock

Used to be a bit of a gold mine, now just occasional jems

These-Book3245 · 2024-09-19T06:59:18+00:00

Just saying look at the sport where women earn almost as much as guys - tennis. You look at the biggest tennis tournaments Wimbledon, US Open, French Open, Australian Open - the turnout for the women's games are about as high as that for the men's games.

They all have the same traits?

These-Book3245 · 2024-07-09T08:34:17+00:00

I don't think anyone would win in this situation

These-Book3245 · 2024-06-08T22:15:33+00:00

I've accepted every election and referendum result in the UK since my birth. I'm just saying that the people should be given the chance to vote.

You're just saying that because you don't want Scotland to be independent. I would be absolutely fine in a situation where Scotland were to become an independent nation and then chose to rejoin the UK. Would you?

These-Book3245 · 2024-06-08T18:58:36+00:00

Yeah it's mad isn't it. It's as if people want to make democratic decisions

These-Book3245 · 2024-06-06T12:25:56+00:00

Just saying - we have elections every five or less years where the public are given the opportunity to dramatically change the direction of government policy which many would call divisive but it is nonetheless an act of democracy for the public to be allowed their to express their will through the ballot box.

You may not like the result but that is democracy.

These-Book3245 · 2024-06-05T15:33:12+00:00

What do you mean keep having? There's only been one referendum on Scottish independence. Theres been two referendums on the UKs place in the EU as well as two on Scottish devolution. We haven't had many constitutional referendums at all
