I'm not a shortbread tin (foil hat) nationalist, but I suspect that the BBC is quite into running stories that undermine the SNP and further erode their support up north. I wasn't even meaning in a political sense. It's not always reported in that context but every single cancelation or rescheduling seems to make the National bulletins yet flight and train cancellations generally don't. Perhaps I'm being naive and it is a subliminal political dig but it's tedious now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 I was on a course today, feeling a bit windy, I walked quietly to the back of the workshop to let one off. Just as I was about to let off a ripper I saw a colleague approach from the side, I swear I clenched so hard, my throat puffed up like a mating frog. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancelling a train means either a shan replacement bus service, ticket acceptance on an equally shan regular bus, or charging the taxi fare to Scotfail. It's pretty straightforward why one is viewed as a news story and the other is not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Neighbour had to phone plod, he parked it right on her bumper* (less than a centimetre of a gap) She said she checked on dvla said it should be white, not tangerine. Bold boy at the end will be well pissed off, hard to get in and out of his driveway now. *no euph. Thank you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect my dog concurs, as so far they're the only type of folk he's growled at. Shifty f***ers. Is this when people shuffle into a business, then stop in the doorway and look around for a while like they've forgotten what they came in for, and maybe have a quick chat about it while the wife rummages through her handbag to find their brain tablets? Meanwhile there's a queue building up behind them until someone asks them to move, at which point they look shocked and occasionally annoyed to discover that that other people exist in the physical dimension they've recently teleported into. Personally, I'm always very aware that I should try to keep public walkways clear, just in case I ever find myself in front of, for example, a seething and increasingly impatient heavy-set giant in an Alloa Athletic shirt. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucyintheskywithdiamonds Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 When people involve you in their drama and you don’t even know them.I had a random send a message request on social media earlier,never met or heard of her in my life however she seemed to think I’d want a live Q&A with her. “hey girl! Im ****** from ***** you don’t know me but I’m wondering how you know this person,your name came up in conversation I’d appreciate it if you didn’t tell them I messaged…” My initial thought was why aren’t you asking the person that brought up my name? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. It's the fact news outlets never used to bat an eyelid at a ferry cancellation. Abd as if to reinforce it BBC Scotland on breakfast this morning leading on.........yip another ferry (non) story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A flight to fucking Malaga is not public transport infrastructure to the extent as ferry links within Scotland and disastrous ferry cancellations have always been headline worthy. The reason why there are more headlines about ferries being cancelled is because more of them are being cancelled (because 'repurposed for use on other routes' and running tinpot, one boat services still = cancelled). That's because Cal Mac and Ferguson's Shipbuilders are two completely incompetent organisations, working together for maximum disruption. I can't help but think that there's a rather straightforward solution to this terrible injustice of crap services being highlighted for being crap by the nasty media.
