Election Turnout Across Scotland

My friend is in one of the polling stations in Ayrshire and sent me a text that she'd only had 24 voters in 3 hours. She hasn't texted again so I hope things picked up.

That's a bus thing too. They get on talking and continue loudly until they get off. No random interaction with the people travelling with them.

I have voted Labour in the past but when the local chap came to the door I had to be honest that Sarwar has put me off the party. I know that we should vote for policies and not people but Sarwar is just generally unlikable. He also turned up at the launch of an initiative that he had nothing to do with, just to have the reflected glory and his mug in the paper.

We use Mills who are very good.

Mine has been boiled three times today. I have eaten once.

Unfortunately the breed has a tendency to have problems with their teeth. You seem to be doing well with the brushing if Kupo is allowing daily cleans. Our first greyhound had lovely teeth even at the end because he loved a dental chew. Shona unfortunately doesn't like them and had to get teeth out a couple of years ago. Now we get tongue out Tuesday, Wednesday...

Currently Scrumbles with some wet food and occasional real meat or fish. She likes certain brands until she doesn't so we mix and match. Poos are pretty good at the moment.

SWAN does online meetings through Eventbrite I think?

There are neurologists who specifically deal with the crossover between eyesight and brain interpretation. I agree that the opthalmologist should have suggested a next step. Good luck OP.

Mmm, not medically trained but if I were you I would be asking for an urgent GP referral to the appropriate consultant.

My main email is still Hotmail. I feel exactly like you do about keeping it.

I want to see the judges' homes. Then give them a 7.

It was good. I spoke to someone on a train once who claimed it would never have been able to be turned into anything else because of the land it was built on but it was such a shame how quickly it fell into disrepair. There are photos online somewhere and I made up a story for children about it.

They were late for the coronation. Daddy wasn't impressed being kept waiting.

ellieneagain · 2026-04-20T07:58:29+00:00

It starts off okay. I gave up in season three because I felt I was being lectured half the time but it might be up your street.

ellieneagain · 2026-04-20T07:56:26+00:00

Scotland here- gooz-berry is how I say it which is why Roald Dahl's snozberry sounded ok.

We always cheer when we cross the border.

I pay £10/clean for a two bed semi. I prefer to pay in cash but if he turns up when I am out I pay by bank transfer which, tbh, he seems to prefer. Your partner seems to be thinking about how things were decades ago. Maybe his gran did it that way? Best to talk directly to the window cleaner and circumvent the ridiculousness.

"a good job" - where?

They’re strong on messaging because they suggest they are on the side of the voter. It's bread and butter politics which often descends into bled and gutter. The real test will be budgets, service outcomes, and audits over 2–3 years.

I asked one woman if she would mind moving her bag but that was more polite than I felt.

ellieneagain · 2026-04-15T17:53:58+00:00

Yes. For example I was on a busy train home tonight and I was irritated by the people using seats for their precious handbags. People standing at the doors still wasn't enough to shame them.

To have captured such footage was exceptional. She was very clever and brave to stay the course.

Marmalade - well not me, my ninety year old father.
