I'd always assumed minky was just scots for manky. If it's going to offend people then i guess i'll have to find a new word that conveys what i meant by it. Suggestions welcome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 There's a user (name) on here that's an offensive term for the travelling community. Surprised it has never been changed. The parks/hills around Bonaly in Edinburgh have turned into a campsite. Folk living there in tents due to the economic crisis and teens turning it in to a tip. I'd release the hound on them but he can't differentiate between the folk down on their luck trying not to bother anyone and the kids with their food/litter everywhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I don’t mind people that throw their betting slips away. I don’t even really mind people that chuck them on the floor if there’s a bin nearby. But see people that rip them into tiny little pieces and then fling them on the floor? There’s no punishment too great. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe i shouldn't generalise about clarty b*****ds but it does help in discourse to have shorthand ways of referring to things that are commonly understood. I think you're suggesting that i actually did mean travellers all along?

The Moonster Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 45 minutes ago, MixuFruit said: Back on topic I don't know what needs doing to sort this (my one free murder plan aside). It can't be policed evidently. Even as a wee dick aged 18 I'd take my rubbish back out the countryside with me. Take only photos, leave only footprints. I didn't really have this drummed into me by anyone, it was just obvious to me that I was in a nice place and the way it stays nice is if I don't leave all my shite behind. What do you do? Extend the camping forbidden zones, poorly enforced fines? Whack a huge tarriff on chinese made tents? The traffic round here over that last weekend was honestly outrageous, queued back from Luss to Dumbarton. I have no doubt Luss will be in a total state right now, but I really can't understand how it gets allowed to happen - put a police car at the Balloch roundabout and stop anycunt with a car full of bams and alcohol heading up there. I really feel for the folk in Luss, they've got a lovely wee village that gets absolutely ruined every time the sun comes out, I'm not sure I could refrain from heading along the shore with a truncheon if I lived there. 13 minutes ago, Shandon Par said: There's a user (name) on here that's an offensive term for the travelling community.

You have taken my honest admission that i didn't know that a specific word was offensive as some sort of complaint about political correctness gone mad. This is despite the fact that i stated without complaint that i wouldn't use the word in future because i didn't want to offend people. I fear that the internet has warped your tiny little mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You going soft, Shandon? Get them named and shamed. @Mr Pikey I know it rose to prominence up here thanks to yer man here: but if you called Mickey ^^ that he'd soon ask you "d'ye bax?" as he'd likely find that offensive. I know some good folk who are from the travelling communities scattered around the fringes of Edinburgh and I wouldn't want to think of them getting called that (though they don't exactly need anyone to fight their battles for them!). I'm sure the Mods would be glad to help you change the username too as it doesn't look good for P&B having that pop up on threads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, based on their intent to get pished and leave their shite at their arse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
