Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...

Just checked this and think thats very miss leading. The overall population of Stirling is clearly bigger tbh (albeit with the rate Inverness is growing perhaps not for very long. ) Places like Bannockburn are really part of of Stirling now as there is no land gap between them. Next will probably be Bridge of Allan on the other side which isn’t even listed in part of the greater area. Not that anyone gives a f**k tbh as even factoring all these places it still isn’t a city.

Exactly. A bigger population doesn't make a big hillbilly town a 'city'. it's still a town. Inverness, however big it grows, is still just a big town.

What the fine and noble City of Stirling, with its castle and University, needs to do is annex the nearby tiddly towns like Alloa and Falkirk so that they become mere suburbs of the mighty Central Scotland metropolis.

This is what Edinburgh did with Leith and Portobello and Glasgow did with Govan.

Yep. Have said before and il say again, Inverness is almost exactly Stirling but a bit further North and a few years behind.

I like Inverness but it’s true that some of the pubs feel a bit 90s. The way people dress, the music, etc. It was a good laugh but does feel like going back in time a bit. 

Also there seems to be a proliferation of ‘boy racers’. I thought that had largely died a death but apparently souped of Citroen Saxos with a spoiler are still a thing up there.

It's a long shot, but it might work. Try moving to Syria or Yemen. Maybe your First World problems might be put into perspective. You never know, but it's worth a try. 

Don't drink and post. Just don't. What a ridiculous thing to say. Sorry.

Bought 24 cans of Guinness and the cans have no widget. What the seventh level of hell is this monstrous decision?

 

It's all due to the Pandemic, mate.

Ffs, hadn't even noticed the smaller size, no wonder the shops have them all on offer.

Na, the ones in there are either car battery powered or looks like a chainsaw pull starter.

With the danger of being too helpful @Bairnardo should have pointed you to a Guinness Surger.
