Guest Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 (edited) 2 hours ago, welshbairn said: I'm hiding in the cupboard under the stairs until we get the all clear, shouldn't be too long hopefully. Our local town councillor once shared a facebook appeal for local residents to search their 'cupboards under the stairs' for toys and games to donate to the local library. Except she referred to them as 'glory holes.' She got really upset when I suggested she googled the term. The librarian went up a few places in my estimation though.

sparky88 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Journalists everywhere trying to write copy based on the fact they did or didn't receive a text. Looking forward to Reporting Scotland's report on the alarm later. 'So, man in Dundee did you get a text earlier?' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moomintroll Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Even though I knew it was coming, I still jumped when my phone went mental. My work phone remained strangely mute though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empty It Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 I wonder which one of the Tories pals got the contract to develop this alert that hasn't really worked for multi millions. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At a work night out an old wife asked what cocktails we were drinking as they looked nice. My mate sent her to the bar for a Golden Shower. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarrbridgeSaintee Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 I didn't get the alert, but it was amusing hearing it on the phones of others in the restaurant. Apparently lots of others didn't get it either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

101 Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 It took 15/20 minutes to come through, seems like a complete waste of money. Anything that needs notified through the alert system presumably is more important than something occurring at over an hour's notice that it would take to get whoever it is to press send. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Pete Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 My bird watches too much tiktok and is getting a wee bit tinfoily. She's been moaning about this alert for a couple of weeks and how she'd turn it off in settings. The dozy cow then forgot and it went off while she was getting a tattoo. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
