Popular Post Silvio Tattiescone Posted February 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 3, 2022 Got my hearing aids fitted this morning. Everything fine in the office, then I walked out in the street and WOW! I really had no idea how much I had lost. It felt like I was in an art house movie, hearing twigs break, birds singing, conversations a good distance away, footsteps reverberating etc etc. To be honest it was really overwhelming and I burst into tears. For f**k sakes guys, if you work in a noisy factory, wear ear defenders. I've worked with routers and loud machinery for years and I didn't know just how damaged I was. It's not like having bother reading, you just don't notice what has gone. If a young, sexy 32 year old like me can need hearing aids, anyone can. On Saturday I'm going to go to the game, as usual. I'll take my seat in the South Stand, as usual. The auld guy who sits in front of me is going to turn round and chat, as usual. But for the first time in 10 years I'm going to hear what he's saying. Probably be a lot of shite right enough, but I'll hear it. 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You put the wee box on the lectern then you can sit at the back of the hall and hear every word. I've already figured out I could "accidentally" leave it in offices after business meetings and hear what is said after I leave the room. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 People who live in Scotland and claim winter is their favourite season are contrarian attention seekers. If you live in Scotland and have winter as your favourite season, then yes.Imagine sitting in your garden sipping a beer on a July evening, or swimming in a beautiful loch in August and thinking "I wish it was January right now". I much prefer winter tbh. You've given a good example of a couple of summertime positives there tbf but you've omitted the stuff I hate about summertime:- - The heat. Nothing worse than sweating at work before you've even started your shift. Or sweating in general tbh. I really struggle to function in temperature above around 20°c. The idea of sitting in the sun all day is an idea of hell for me. - The lighter nights mean folk are out later, be it Neds or folk having BBQ's/parties. Nothing wrong with the latter two but when you're up at 3am for work it can be a bit shit.- Having to see the scum with their 'taps aff'. - The worst one for me and the biggest reason I borderline detest summertime: hayfever. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 "Fans spark worry over Connor McGregor and his latest video". He's eating ice cream - in bed. Some of the posts are mental, saying he's lost his mind. Saying money has gone to his head. Needs to get help. He's eating an ice cream. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She broke her leg and they went mad at her for getting a cast. Should have prayed it better. James hetfield of Metallica's family were the same, his mum took unwell and they didn't accept any medical advice saying prayer will heal her, she died. That's bound to f#ck any kid up. On the subject of jw's. I went down a rabbit hole recently of YouTube videos and ended up watching testimonies by ex jw's. They are a seriously sinister organisation. Their governing body believe that God speaks directly through them and gives them "new light" new ways to interpret the Bible, basically twist it to suit their agenda. Their covering up of child sex abuse within their organisation is something else. Shunning people that leave their cult, leaving people with no friends or family. Misogynistic attitudes, women are discouraged from higher education. They told their followers that Armageddon was imminent in 1975. A lot of them sold their houses and possessions, left skint in 1976. The guy that I watched on YouTube was a fella called loyd Evans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some decent points there. Though there are two other seasons still clearly better than winter. In the past you could have added no football, but it's barely over a month's break now. I don't live somewhere with neds or folk who'd go taps aff, so I haven't noticed that issue. If you struggle to function above 20°c I'd seriously consult a doctor, that's not normal at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Folk who genuinely prefer winter over summer in Scotland should be locked up and have the key thrown away. Absolute wrong-uns. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I like a winters day in Scotland, snowy walks, crisp air etc. But overall, summer is nicer, that's just obvious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Its hasnt been wintery at all really this year. Today is a very wintery day with freezing sleet falling. Its fucking shite. Ice on the roads is shite, frozen cars is shite, slush is shite. I dint mind cold clear dry days, but by and large winter is turgid shite 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't need to consult a doctor, I just don't like being too warm and anything above that is too warm for me to be comfortable. I even wear shorts all year round because I hate my legs being too warm as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I'm a fan of winter - actual snow and frost type of winter. These washed out winters we get aren't up to much. We get a few good ones now and then but largely our winters are like our summers - rainy. When I was an exchange student in Sweden winter just appeared one day in October. Real snow up to the scrotum for months. It was great. And it didn't slow the Swedes down a bit. Chains on the tyres and away they went. Years later, living in Wales was the opposite. A dusting of snow appeared one day and the whole place panicked. Shops and offices shut and everyone sent home. Took me 3 hours to do a 30 minute journey for what must have been a centimetre of snow at most. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
