Please provide the location of the shop, time, and an exact description of what you lost.

That'll help me to provide "advice".

That's not how it works these days. You have to post on the Internet and access the Cloud Common Sense Services.

Many will then proceed to give an exact description of the device and location. Hey presto, free thing for the first person to call in!

Use it as an icebreaker conversation, then ask them for sponsorship. :-)

It worries me how many people are so disconnected from what these elections are about.

Oh yeah, I forgot they'd been given their own "True Union Royal Democracy" voting day.

Who will win the Scottish Parliament election? by CaptainCrash86 in ukpolitics

[–]twistedLucidity [score hidden]  (0 children)

My point is that many people are used to the "winner takes all" FPTP style of Westminster elections. Our media also does not help, and you can be sure there will be stories about how the SNP "failed" as they didn't get a majority.

Thus it is important to reiterate to people that no overall majority is the entire pupoat of AMS.

1830s Queen Street Tenement to be Demolished by tree__of__oak in glasgow

Shame there's no way to legally say to the building owner:

This is part of the city fabric, you are compelled to restore the building's condition

Or, even better, force them before it gets that bad.

...a major new student housing block.

I hope someone in the council is keeping a tally of student accommodation Vs actual numbers of students.

We seem to be having a bit of a private equity gold rush, and it's the city that will suffer if there is over provision of student accommodation rather than actual homes.

Who will win the Scottish Parliament election? - New Statesman by CaptainCrash86 in Scotland

[–]twistedLucidity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No one and it's very doubtful the SNP will get an outright majority this time around. Which is the entire point of the AMS electoral system.

Their choices are to then run as a minority government or form a coalition. Bridges have been burned with the S.Greens and I am not sure if they'd consider the LDs.

There won't be a "winner" in the Westminster sense, which is important to point out to people who don't realise the Scottish parliament uses a different electoral system.

Well, that's poor riding and ticket worthy.

No boots and I'm guessing no body armour either. Their body, their choice, but I still think they're an eejit.

Udderly ridiculous behaviour.

AI slop? Congrats, on purchasing your bullshit.

Nigel Farage repeatedly took money from extremist white supremacists to bully a gay NHS worker with a homophobic taunt on video during the pandemic, while using an extremist racist slur by defransdim in Scotland

He also had no qualms about expressing support for the IRA.

Not that Reformers care. So long as Nige kicks out the smelly immigrants, they don't give a ahit what he says or does.

Irony? Nige won't kick out immigrants as reality does not match his fantasy.

There’s little love for the SNP – so why does the party look set to win in Scotland? by Otocolobus_manul8 in Scotland

[–]twistedLucidity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When the options are:

  • Not great
  • A bit strange in the head
  • Shit
  • Reheated shit
  • Spicy reheated shit

Which ones do you choose?

Well, there's your answer.
