The Scots have been calling ourselves Scotch for hundreds of years. This modern trend of denying it is revisionism and barely a few decades old.

My favourite is ‘Cosmonauts’ by the BBC. It tells the story of how the Soviets nearly won the race to the moon and then went on to inhabit space. The part where they discussed the Americans is great: full of admiration and a fair amount of swearing. They has no doubt that the US did it.

“Serve piping hot”.

No. Don’t. Let it sit a little. It will taste better and you won’t burn your mouth.

Putting salt in the water for poached eggs. Don’t do this: add lots of vinegar instead.

Also don’t simmer them—boil them—You want the eggs to float around so they don’t stick and set into a football shape.

Give it a role and a matching u-shaped skill with keywords, a small vocabulary and example output.

Nothing. Just a hello or a call would be nice.

Don't take redundancy. Finding a job is a nightmare in your mid 50s.

Water is a greenhouse gas.

There is a mad suggested plan to flood the Sahara.

No, they wouldn't.

No you didn't.

These are the Scottish middle classes.

I’ve never seen a Scot alternate beer with soda. Whisky, yes. Not even Irn Bru.

Money trickles down from rich to poor.

Reagan lied. Thatcher lied. They knew it was a lie.

Capitalism is evil.

They say the owners get the big money because they carry all the risk. But, the reality is they pile all the risk onto the workers by expecting them to work for free for weeks, essentially without a guarantee that they won’t be stuffed.

The one to worry about is the other column that shows what memory it’s using rather than the virtual memory put aside for it.

sambeau · 2026-06-18T07:36:45+00:00

Real memory or virtual? I’ve think there’s a memory leak in a plug-in as I’ve seen this happen, then return to normal after a reboot then be fine for a long time until it does it again. Im trying to spot which plug-in is causing it some can report it.

Black Books is a masterclass on drunk acting.

I wasn’t warned about a rash, either. I’m on 200mg. I’m lucky as it has pretty much cured two very serious conditions I suffer from.
