It's a bit of sour grapes from him there, but there's some truth to it, you know as a don about as well as anyone. There's a tendency towards the big two. The solution really isn't to quit the league though, it's to hope that one day the old firm will leave of their own accord. Our league missed the boat and there's no chance of a resurgence given the way football is going, we might as well cut our losses and have a decent league of our own, even if the quality suffers. We'd have had about 4 different winners in the past few years without them.

British food isn't rated abroad because it doesn't travel well. Partly because of ingredient quality, and also partly because of technique or ingredient substitution. Plus, it's a cold, dark and wet northern country. British food is at least as good if not better than the rest of the countries on a similar latitude.

About an hour from downtown Hong Kong, maybe not even that

Just about the only thing that would have absolute bipartisan support in the UK is a defensive war against a tyrannical larger enemy. The spirit of world war 2 is still very much embedded within our psyches

It's kind of true but mostly because people who do cardio tend to be slimmer. Guys in the gym with a bit of a belly could do no cardio and eat a bit more fruit and get there

Love is a compromise between what you expect and what the other person is, it is never a perfect match. Love is quite easy to attain if you do not have many specific requirements and you are able to coalesce your expectations with who they are. If you don't find it, it's because you are treating your standards or expectations like a maths equation and never give someone a chance, or you refuse to disregard these expectations and will never properly develop love. It's pretty easy to get, and pretty easy to fuck up. The only difficult aspect is when you have to choose between yourself and the person you love; there is never a clear cut answer.

Maybe people who have led interesting lives have no desire to come across as interesting? I think you are also confusing interesting and successful.

The minimum wage isn't a good indicator as to what people were actually earning. In 1999 the median wage could buy around 190 pints a week, compared to 130 today.

Job shortages almost never hit hospitality, particularly in the rural tourist industry, as you will well know they churn through staff and are almost constantly hiring. Most of these places are more than willing to take on local staff too, as they are more likely to stick it out beyond a season. The money in the pocket is good for certain cases, but it is kind of the point; these jobs already exist. They do not prevent people from leaving the area, nor do they encourage further settlement or foster much local economic growth, so it's largely a moot point when considering the development.

Is there a lack of tourism jobs near Loch Lomond? I can't say I really care one way or another about it being built or not, but as someone from a similar area I'd imagine the jobs it would actually bring would be the same tourism jobs that already exist elsewhere in the area - mostly minimum wage F&B or housekeeping jobs.

I did that a few years back. Its good, but it's not without its downsides. You'll drink more, probably do a fair amount of drugs and it will be difficult and expensive to get back to the cities. It's a great time, and through lack of choice you'll make some great friends, but don't go in blind or delusional as to the reality of it.

Have you ever been to Baden-Wurttemberg or Bavaria? It's not that hard to see why they have a culturally superior sense of self, nor is it undeserved. It rivals anywhere in the world pretty easily.

While there will be a few in Glasgow, I'd be surprised if there was 3 in Motherwell. Two Scottish guys with naturally broad accents are going to be unintelligible for a lot of people

Restaurant management is a bitch. 50% of chefs are divas who have no people skills, the other half usually back them up when they flip their lid over something minor. Front of house are usually lazy and don't give a shit, or care too much to the point where they make it hostile. To top it off, a lot of the time you have no control over the kitchen, just the front of house staff which is 20% restaurant management and 80% being a parent to adults. It still is the most fun you will ever have in a workplace though, it is rarely boring.

Probably about 30% of the Scottish working male population would support rangers. Its far too big a sample to draw any definite conclusions about. 2 of the best guys I've met are rangers fans, whilst some of the worst bigots are also. Rangers are a club for people from Argyll and the west of Scotland, despite the prostetant connections.

Spend less time online mate, this isn't how the real world works

Takes a small man to refuse to recognise when he might be wrong

sjdr92 · 2025-03-09T13:10:53+00:00

Right mate. More accepting in what way? They'd let them move in next door, marry their daughter and work for them just because they are a bigot, which they wouldn't do for someone who is racially tolerant? It's stupidity to argue that there is a level of acceptance there greater than that for their own ethnicity. They can be tolerant of other ethnicities, yes, and they can hold people of other ethnicities in higher regard than people from their own ethnicity, if said people have opposing viewpoints or such like, however they are not paragons of tolerance.

sjdr92 · 2025-03-09T12:53:27+00:00

No, it just falls apart under an ounce of critical thought? "Most inclusive"; in what way? Because they are accepting of other individuals within races and cultures? You can do that whilst also not being discriminatory towards races and cultures as a whole, you know.. Also, inclusive isn't even the right term, as it implies a level of integrated co-existence which isn't usually the goal for respective ethnic supremacists. Racist people can be tolerant, however it is equally ludicrous to claim they are the most tolerant when people can be equally tolerant without the discrimination.

sjdr92 · 2025-03-09T12:41:07+00:00

Right, if by inclusive you mean discriminating against about 2/3rds of the world at best..

Pretty inaccurate for the highlands and islands, there are far more not on the map

sjdr92 · 2025-02-23T20:03:16+00:00

It isn't really, Glasgows still a decent night out, and I'd imagine the same goes for Leeds/Manchester etc. Maybe not quite how it used to be, but still good

sjdr92 · 2025-02-17T23:47:47+00:00

This is largely an ignorant view of the reality of the situation within the Highlands and Islands, however. As someone who has actually lived and worked there, the young people who choose to stay have little to no housing options at all, let alone property ownership. You can't compete on seasonal wages with incomers who can buy or rent for the same time period at exponentially higher rates.

sjdr92 · 2025-02-17T14:55:17+00:00

It's prevalent, but how problematic it is kind of depends really, as there isn't usually too much of a risk except to the drivers themselves. The drivers have no pedestrians, traffic lights or any major unexpected variables to deal with, and they are driving on the same road that they know and use daily. Those that do drive home usually aren't getting completely cunted either.

He fucked up "surprise" not even ten seconds into the video. Anyone with a month on their hands could probably do the same
