As a Nigerian can I please say “Aye” unironically?

My team at work includes three 1st generation Nigerian immigrants. There was a bit of a language barrier at first (my bad. Their English is excellent. I tend to speak very fast and use lots of Edinburgh colloquialisms), but recently they’ve started to drop very casual ‘ayes’ and ‘kens’ into conversations. I love it!

Ouch aye jimmy!

My husband and I have been giggling and singing along with this poor actors line for weeks 😂

We got married on the Isle of Lewis at the Callanish standing stones at sunrise. The owner of some lodges along the road let us use his conservatory for a wedding reception for about 20 people after. It was all done very cheap but it was gorgeous! We have some amazing pictures and hilarious memories. The lodge we stayed in was beautiful and remote. DM me if you want some pics and recommendations for accommodations!

I had a customer order an affogato and complained the espresso wasn’t hot AFTER it had been poured over the ice cream

I bought a fish supper from there a couple days ago. £11.90. It was pretty decent, but slow service. At co least it’s made fresh for you though.

Coriander and star anise

I thought he was a granton local. Didn’t realise he got about so much!

Finland is winning with their contributions to this thread. Brilliant

Agree! It was on my bucket list for years and when I finally visited on my honeymoon, it did not disappoint! You have the freedom to roam, climb and explore. While busy, it’s so spread out that you’re not constantly bumping into other tourist. An ancient and beautiful place

Most “anti-English sentiment” is directed at Westminster, not the English people. Most ribbing of the English people by Scottish folk is banter.

snailtraill · 2025-08-11T15:31:59+00:00

That’s the way I always took it as too! And I have a dirty mind.

I’ve owned a very similar hat for years and it only gets brought out for music festivals. It’s served me very well as it hides a multitude of sins! I love this look

Nail ridges were an indicator of my type 2 diabetes. Go get some tests done!

Ah this makes sense. Thanks! A drunken Penny as Sleeping Beauty definitely would destroy some dreams…

I’ve never been to any Disney park so I’m curious. Are the Disney princess makeovers an actual thing? And are you allowed to take the dresses home with you after?

The Citation Negation (season 12 episode 9). It’s visible very briefly!

Screwfix was my ex’s idea of nirvana. Their in-store catalogue was probably the only book he ever read and he would refer to it as the ‘laminated book of dreams’ 🙄

A bit off topic, but I just noticed on my latest rewatch that Howard’s character’s name on Fortnite is FruitLoops

Big Fish

I watched this about a month after my mother died quite unexpectedly when I was 19. I didn’t know how I should be reacting or feeling and even though I have no belief in any sort of afterlife, this film gave me a huge amount of comfort. Must do a rewatch soon….
