[The second worst accent in Scotland?]

Accents don't correlate to latitude.

True they deviate by proximity, not by the definition of man made borders.

[The second worst accent in Scotland?]

I'm not sure if its patriotism but i think its worth reiterating that the Anglo Scottish border has around a 96 mile north to south deviation so its not that much of a stretch to say someone from the far south of Scotland will have a stronger "twang" than an equivalent from the extreme north of England. Reducing that to "Dumfries people sound English" was maybe a bit inflammatory but the general statement is solid.

[Calling Cards of Morons]

I'm sure they are sparing a thought for you wallowing through another meaningless day at work while they have the cheek to enjoy a day off.

[The second worst accent in Scotland?]

I'm not criticizing accents from Dumfries or English accents in general, I think the Northumbrian dialect is a joy to hear, from what limited exposure I've had to Doonhammer accents it sounds well spoken and clean in comparison to most Scottish accents.

I'm not a scientist and as you say since I've never really walked round Dumfries and talked to the citizens I'm not making an absolute factual statement but I love the breadth of accents we have in Scotland and the wider UK in general and especially that divide on the border.

[Playstation Plus Games]

The Witness is one of this months games and its a brilliant cerebral puzzler game, essentially it takes this mechanic of line puzzles and plays with it while also having you navigate this surreal colorful island. You can take the game at your own pace and man it makes you feel smart when you solve its conundrums. Great offering but slow-paced and not for everyone.

Its not the money that bothers me working extra, it's' the time, I've already got up drove 30 minutes to work and spent 8 hours there with the prospect of another half hour and change getting home

Never mind the folk who get into work before 8am, do they just hate sleep?

You’ve quite clearly never been to Dumfries.

You arn't wrong  but its not that crazy a statement to to make, Edinburgh is closer to Berwick than Dumfries

Especially if it’s like a Tuesday. Why on earth would you take an isolated midweek day off

 

Its a pretty cool thing to do when you can enjoy a day off in the absence of alcohol

[Calling Cards of Morons]

What's wrong with all the other days you're not at work?

There ain't enough of them and they go too fast

Adults who are precious enough to want their birthday off work

Yeah f**k me right, not wanting to spend the one day of the year i can claim my own making money for some other c**t.

[Work colleagues]

I know what you are saying is true Baracus but I dont want to believe it. I am up and oot the door at 5pm like Bolt off the starting blocks and ill happily admit I'm only because i need money and im basically a shitey office clerk. The hangers on are the folk in more skilled or specialised positions so maybe they just really enjoy their work with it being more involved.

Its just weirding me out because I've never experienced this is any workplace. Can you imagine staying 45 minutes past a shift in Tesco? I just don't understand some folk

[Calling Cards of Morons]

Anyone who works their birthday is not right in the head

[Work colleagues]

Also the person behind me has their heater on full blast when its fucking march! I would love too open the windows and people need a heater pointed at their legs all day. I dont get it.

[Work colleagues]

Very few people leave my work at 5pm and it makes me feel anxious.

People from Dumfries sound more English than people from Northumberland

[Red Dead Redemption]

Yass!  The contrary RagingGamer is back!  Can't wait to see what kerr-aaaaazy things he comes out with.

Red Dead 2 isn't a fun videogame.

[Reasons to be Cheerful]

Up since half 6, car washed, shopping done, washing hung oot

[The second worst accent in Scotland?]

do people from stirling and falkirk have accents?

[A View From The Terrace.]

Enjoyed the podcast for years and enjoyed the show but felt it didn't hit its potential. It felt a bit unnecessary for it to be on television at first but made good with the outside the studio features. One thing that stuck out was the complete lack of football footage but I suppose thats more a rights thing than anything else.

Are you not that Rammagamma weirdo though?

Oh hey its RandomGuy, that poster who doesn't just follow St Johnstone but obsesses over every single little detail about their day-to-day business to the point it seems like a bit of a gimmick

[Red Dead Redemption]

I know I'm going against the grain here but does anyone else feel the game is abit clunky at times? I'm only a couple of hours in so I might just need to get used to it but I'm not loving it so far to be honest.

I just gave up after 4 or 5 hours, everything was just so slow and clunky and laboured that i wasn't having fun

[Emiliano Sala & the missing plane]

I watched Sala footage on YouTube, broadly speaking her scored 3 types of goals. Headers from close range which are easy when you are a 6'2 carthorse, shots from just inside the penalty area which the French defenders seem to think is best stopped by standing off and giving space to shoot and penalties.

15 million pounds for an average mid French table striker. Metal

[Worst Town In Scotland]

One thing I've learned from this thread is that Scotland isn't that bad.  Some of these places that folk are touting as hell on earth are far from it, just your usual grey looking Scottish town with some schemey bits thrown in for good measure.

We are a self depreciating lot us scots

[Worst Town In Scotland]

It's a stop on the main train route between the two biggest cities in Scotland so I'm surprised you haven't heard of it.
 

I can understand this but I'm from Perth so I've never taken a train from Glasgow to Edinburgh or vice versa
