I think I posted a screenshot on the Facebook thread a couple of months ago a post of a woman asking what to do if her daughter is having breathing difficulties. Incredible. 

In her defence, searching for any of the emergency services on Messenger seems to be a fruitless task.

Last seen by those who witnessed the Jacobite rebellion.

In 12 years time I can say that the time difference between today and the date of birth of somebody I have previously met in person is the same as the time interval that separates that same DoB and the Battle of Culloden.

Can't wait...

 

Eta: Using the interval that already exists, we have the 7 years war between Britain & France, the reign of George II,  slave rebellions in Jamaica, Captain Cook's first expedition to the Pacific and the start of the American War of Independence.

I'm not sure his joke was intended to be taken literally tbh....

England didn't win the rugby.

I knew this to be the case without even looking for the result due to the complete absence of rugby related posts on my Facebook page. I suppose all the England "fans" are back in their box until the next time they do well at something.

After a winter storm in the middle of the week, it’s a beautiful sunny day here and I’m currently sitting in the park with my book.

There’s a young Mum and Dad teaching their kid how to ride an obviously brand new from the shop bike. It’s taken her a few attempts but she’s got it now and the look on the wee lass’s face has melted even the heart of a cynical auld git like me.

It’s not such a bad old world, this one.

When you think you've exhausted a yoghurt tub after getting every last bit out, only to see a layer of yoghurt still attached to the lid that you forgot all about.

Yassss.

There used to be a word used on P&B for the sort of people who "forgot about the yoghurt on the lid"...

Me, all the time given my memory seems to get wiped with any distraction*.  The great thing about this is that if you don't eat the stuff on the lid at the start then it's a guaranteed happy surprise pretty much every time.

*for example, I made a cup of tea this morning and went back through to do some work for 5 mins whilst it cooled down.  Went back through an hour later to find a cold cup of tea sitting on the bunker.  This is a  consistent HC trait and one my former boss picked up on, saying "I know when you're in this office as there's usually a random cup of tea sitting on a shelf in the corridor" (from where I stopped for a chat and then walked off).  That said, it's annoying as f*** when you go down for a cup of tea and then go back to your desk to discover you've done everything but make a cup of tea.
