All webcam sites at my old work were blocked under the category "pornography", we had to get special permission to unlock various work related ones.

Years ago, P&B was blocked on Clackmannanshire library computers for the reason of "pornography".

The heyday of @King Kebab and @booitsme7.

Irvine Welsh's first published scribblings were under the pen name "Octopus" in one of the Hibs fanzines.

Note to youngsters: fanzines were like a paper version of a club thread on P&B. With less roasters.

Iceland's Carolina Reaper Chicken Wings are lethal.

You don't expect a supermarket own brand to  be "the real deal" heat-wise but holy f**k!!!

Fortunately their ice cream is also cheap.

That's good as you'll be needing to sit on it after your morning ablutions are complete 🇯🇵

"Mourners who made eulogies said Maguire would not be forgotten. “Sorry for the language, Father – rest in peace, you fucking legend,” said one woman."

 

A speeding cortège* as well, brilliant.

Interesting to see an octopus in the Forth. There's all kind of creatures in the sea you wouldn't know were there unless you were a diver 
When he was a kid my mate found a Cuttlefish in the rock pools at North Berwick. His dad was a zoologist so they kept it in a tank for a while.

A lot of activity with dolphins, sei whales and minke whales in there the past few weeks. Apparently there were 2 orcas identified coming into there and then heading back out to the north sea.
ETA: Forth marine mammals on Facebook if you are on there and you like that sort of thing.

My gran has been in FV hospital since last Thursday with abdominal pains and vomiting. Fast forward 6 days and has still had nothing done. A scan has been planned for each of the last 3 days but has not happened.

On Monday it was because they could not communicate with her (she is deaf). A doubled vaxxed family member could easily do this. Tuesday was because somebody forgot to pass her paperwork over to the ward she got moved too (an excuse that wouldn't wash in a dead end admin job never mind a medical.profession) and today was because they didn't have all her medical history from the GP (after 5 full days in the hospital) and they didn't have another doctor available in the hospital able to sign her off to get the scan. 

I appreciate the nurses working their arses off everyday throughout covid but this has been astonishing levels of incompetence and its stems from the shambolic middle management and self important clipboard warriors across the NHS.

The other thing that really has angered me is the fact that due to covid only 1 person can see her and no other visitors - no matter what day.  Along with being deaf she has dementia and 90 years old and will be terrified of whats happening (or lack of).  She has had to fast prior to scans that have never happened and since nobody can communicate with her she will wonder why nobody is giving her food.

Absolutely harrowing that this is the level of care that is deemed acceptable for vulnerable people.

Sorry, just had to vent that out. Fucking fuming and upset that a lot of these issues can be avoided with common sense but in a hospital there is too much red tape preventing sense from ever prevailing.
