Now it's not just English commentators who do this but Scottish people as well. It's Gil-MURR. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 I do love Alloa, but the council needs to run spatial awareness training courses. As you leave a shop here, it's almost compulsory to stop immediately in the doorway and check your pockets/handbag/carrier bags for your wallet/purse/vibrating appliances, blissfully ignorant of the people behind you're blocking the exit from. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that better or worse than the ones who just pile straight onto the street without looking and wipe out other pedestrians? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a lot of that here too. Completely oblivious to their surroundings, either that or they do it on purpose 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That only happens because I've stuck a foot in their arse to get them moving. But aye, I presume they're the same p***ks you occasionally see looking surprised after walking straight into lamp posts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Swamped in marking at the moment. One assessment I did was ask students to undertake a critical analysis of a published academic journal article. I'm part way through the marking when one student said that the article had copied its text and results from an earlier article. No way, I thought. So I downloaded both, looked at them side by side...and bloody hell. Had that paper been coursework it would be straight to the discipline committee. I have never, ever seen anything like this before. Big chunks of text identical, or as near as. The student got a bunch of extra marks for finding that out! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It still shrinks to show open pages in a grid instead of just staying open as one or more one swipe to shut down pages.

Oystercatcher Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I bought a new telly last year, I am now sent scrambling to find the remote control every evening due to this message popping up on the screen. "Your TV will be turned off in 5 minutes." F@&k off. I'll turn it off when I'm finished watching. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
