    I'm in Dublin for a few days and, apart from the history of their fight for independence, it's a country where you get the government that the majority of people vote for rather than one that's not had a majority since 1955. Oh aye, nobody is talking about removing human rights as a solution to anything. God knows what the answer is but waiting for Westminster to approve anything in terms of Scotland's status is pointless. 

    A country that is also talking about setting up a sovereign wealth fund for the multi-billion pound surplus generated by tax receipts from the big multi nationals stationed there.  Yet you have Britnat gimps on here, arguing that Ireland should come back into the UK. Imagine trying to sell that notion to Ireland now?

    That's it all booked up. Croatia, Italy, Slovenia and Montenegro on the agenda. Really looking forward to it.

    Quite fancy that one myself. Let us know how you get on?

    Thankfully we're still part of the union otherwise we'd have been more at risk of attacks from space. 

    ExACtlY!!!!

    Ireland has its independence but its subjected to occassional "slurry dumps" from passing UFOs, killing millions.

    Doesn't happen here!!!!

    ? I didn't say anything about hogging the outside lane or pulling out dangerously. 

    Its what I originally commented on. Black Fiesta man's poor anticipation and his want to pull out could have been very dangerous.

    You don't get right of way for driving faster. That's bollocks. 

    My advice would be to just let the fast guys get by and leave it to the police to monitor. Its always good to let a pace-car take the lead on long motorway journeys.

    You might not have had to break at all.

    If i need to overtake at 70, and some high blood pressure tit is raging up the outside, they'll be braking. I wouldn’t make them have to slam them on, mainly out of self preservation, but they can just wait till i'm finished overtaking. 

    Maintaining that bubble is precisely why normal drivers may need to overake the lorry overtaking at 57 mph in the middle lane, and is made more difficult by antisocial drivers going too fast in the outside lane. 

    Nah, this is total grampa stuff. 

    The onus is on the slower car driver to use their own brakes or gears to maintain speed until its safe to come out into a faster lane. They should signal there intent when safe to do so.

    Similarly, if I'm in the outside lane and a faster car approaches behind me I just pull into the next lane when its safe to do so and let them get on their way.

    I'll leave it to the police to decide if they are travelling 'antisocially' as you say.

    The rest of the journey was pretty good. There were hardly any lorries and most drivers pulled over after overtaking therefore i was often in the inside lane, jus keeping that bubble blowing along nicely.

    Is the guy travelling  within the speed limit right? Or is it the guy speeding? 

    It's a puzzler right enough. 

    Whit? Same rules would apply if I was doing 70 in the outside lane.

    Do I have to brake just because he’s decided to indicate?

    You don’t have a sluggish black Fiesta do you?
     

  7. I was driving up the M6 yesterday in the outside overtaking lane doing about 80mph. I see some guy in the middle lane in a black fiesta putting on his signal to get into my lane. He must be doing about 60mph at this point. As I overtake him he gives me the vicky and when he pulls out behind me he is furiously flashing his lights. I soon lose site of him in the distance as he struggles to overtake the other vehicles in the middle lane. 

    Made me think, did this guy think that the guy travelling faster than him in the outside lane should brake to let him out just because he signalled? Surely he has to control his own speed by dropping down gears and anticipating that I'll be past him in seconds before he pulls out?

    Anyway, c**t!

    "Snooping". f**k me it's pie and bovril. 

    🤣 looks like he's been triggered into paranoia whilst defending Nigel Fromages banking shenanigans 🤣

  9. I used to kid on with my boys when we were out and had stuff to be binned, juice can, crisp wrappers and the like, to take them and stuff them in a bush or fling them into a garden. I always got a telling off from them which made me quite proud of them. They never drop litter and never have.

    Early this year we walked the Kelvin Way during late winter/early spring when the grass was still to grow and the sheer quantity of shite left at people's lazy arses was astounding. Empty bottles, cans, wrappers, batteries, vapes the lot. It was still there even when we got out into the sticks washed up by the river when it was in spate. Literally ankle high in plastic at some places. The boys noticed it and asked why people did that with their litter. To be honest, I had no idea what to tell them. It's fucking horrible to see.

    Woah - calm down there with your playing up of the wee region of Scotlandshire. We should be a very limited, collapsing, economically-deficient, staunchly Europe-hating, very proud region of the UK and no more, thank you very much.

    The glorious masters in Englandshire will certainly keep our hearts and stomachs filled with Union Jacks and pride.

    I hoped that by saying northern  powerhouse it would mean that Rishi would generously pour even more subsidies into my porridge pot.

    Hope the Tynesiders and Cumbrians won't hate me for it. 🇬🇧

    I have to say as an observer of this politics forum there is a severe lack of reality and representation bias in it. The majority of people in Scotland are not obsessed with politics and do not support independence. Unfortunately many are scared to speak out at the risk of unpleasant responses from nationalists, being called racists and so on. I am simply one of the many normal Scots who understands that our Country would collapse on its own.

    Scotland has very limited prospects as an independent country and has for many years been run by a corrupt political party. The SNP still wish to join the EU upon gaining independence, simply swapping Westminster for Brussels. This is clearly not independence and in any case won't happen as Scotland doesn't meet the entry requirements, particularly economically due to consistently having one of the worst deficits in Europe.

    Well said. You should become Prime Minister and rule Scotland.

    If the kind of vile secterian cretinism that Glasgow has had to endure each May for the last few years is to become an annual 'event' then why not have it within Celtic Park ? 

    A good idea to try out. The rich tory owners of Celtic could provide some skips for all the shite that would otherwise be left at someone's lazy arse.

    Don’t think we played that well, but still comfortably deserved to win and probably should’ve been by more.

    Fair play to Brownlie, for all he’s been the obvious weak link recently, he was really good today - that may be more of an indictment on Arbroath’s attack though.

    Thought that Brownlie strolled it today in defence. Good chance at the corner, too.
