Aye but it's only on the news now because ferries break down more according to P&Bs resident seething mess.

Yep, nothing to do with them falling under the watch of an anti-Union party.

They never broke down, ever, under Labour.

Which is basically code for 'We're lifelong Tory voters and won't say anything bad about them even if we don't agree with what they're doing.'

Interesting crossover with the Calling Cards of Morons thread, this.

If you stopped being the West of Scotland's resident virgin for one minute, you'll find that I happily slag the SNP off for their various idiotic policies and stances on a wide range of issues.

Sticking up for Unionist broadcasters is something I never thought I'd see from you, but here we are.

You're sticking up for Cal Mac and a bunch of demonstrably incompetent and previously bankrupt shipbuilders, on behalf of the political party that has overseen the current nick of an effort.

Carlisle being further east than Edinburgh was one that surprised me.

I remember reading something years ago which referred to Barcelona being on Spain's northeast coast and thinking that's not right.

On consulting a map, you could argue both northeast and southeast are correct.

What blew my mind was realising it was further north than Madrid.

It's further north than New York as well.

The only thing the news about maintenance costs is missing is dumbing it down into units of measurement the seething masses can relate to.

£26 million would pay 1000 new nurses for a year.

The equivalent cost of 300 new electric buses.

Etc.

Or one giant robotic one.

Folk who crowd round the train doors at Queen Street/Waverley knowing full well that everyone on the train will be getting off at this stop leaving a tiny wee avenue for folk to squeeze through

Make sure you stand on somebody's foot as you step down onto the platform.

Wondering why cancelled ferries is all of a sudden newsworthy is apparently sticking up for Cal Mac now...

Pretending that cancelled ferries 'happened all the time before' - they didn't, the nick of the service being offered right now is an enormous downgrade in delivery - is indeed sticking up for Cal Mac. All to fit into the exact same moonhowling media conspiracy nonsense on behalf of your favourite political team that was (correctly) marked as the calling card of a moron.

But apparently not if the media in question is Scottish rather than UK and the team is in yellow rather than blue/red. 🤡

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.

Well, y'know, it's never too late to learn the trumpet

Do you converse with people with such contempt in real life?
