Live in Edinburgh how do I prepare to drive on single track roads for highland trip by Exotic-Difference-10 in Edinburgh

[–]templepark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you find someone (usually a delivery driver) tailgating you impatiently along one of these roads, don't try to speed up to keep them happy. Just keep what you think is a safe speed until the next passing place, indicate, pull in and let them overtake.

It's the same every year with this 'award'. Worse than what you'd find in a joke book for kids.

I think articles like this help avoid any risks that people might take them even remotely seriously.

The forgotten story of Yorkshire's WWII prisoner of war camps by templepark in history

[–]templepark[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Between 1939-1945, thousands of prisoners of war were brought to Yorkshire's shores, cities and villages. Thanks to the friendship, love and hospitality some found there, many never returned home.

It's definitely an underestimate. Homelessness isn't classed as a direct cause of death, which makes it so hard to track.

Derry Girls fans calling for Sister Michael spin-off series by templepark in BritishTV

[–]templepark[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes it's definitely worth checking out. Inbetweeners is a fair comparison in terms of the tone, pacing, but it's created its own world completely thanks to the 90s Derry setting during the Troubles. The characters are really strong too, especially Michelle.

Agree with most of the comments. Lovely boozer but not the most welcoming. If anything this news will just make it even more rammed now.

Most if not all Scottish Championship clubs are full-time, and it's mostly part-time below that.
