All right, I’ll stop badgering you now. You’ve made a case, and without blaming everything on the English. :up:

:clap: :yawn: Interesting article from April this year about Glasgow’s links to the slave trade: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/apr/01/glasg...

Fair enough!

Scotland is currently in Britain and the UK and it was intimately involved in the project of Empire, in its administration and its battles and in bene...

:roll: Glaswegians starting fights again

Sorry to be a spoilsport but I’m no good at that rivalry banter. I like both cities and feel quite invigorated by Glasgow’s friendly atmosphere and en...

Edinburgh

A new life awaits you in the off-world colonies. A chance to begin again in a golden land of opportunity and adventure!

Yeh, maybe Baku has a space port.

If that's what they're saying then I hope it's just exaggeration. The news I've seen is that they might soon close the borders to men who are eligible...

So this'll be me in a couple of weeks: /uploads/resized/files/ed/651w2rtbisjuig5q.jpg

Give them a chance. The distillery's only been there since 1995. Flight to Baku booked. According to Clarky's post above, the US security alert seems ...

My favourite Hebridee is Skye, but I haven’t been to them all so what do I know. But Kintyre in reality is a peninsula (a penis-like peninsula, as uni...

Both! Most of them sometimes.

I disagree.

No, that was recorded at Basing Street Studios, whereas When the Levee Breaks was recorded at Headley Grange.

I've had some good times on that scrotum.

Nice, but your drums sound like they're being played in a stairwell or something.

Papa Noel?

Does this person have a large white beard?

Thank you. Don’t think I haven’t noticed you sneaking back into TPF after your 4 month break, as if butter wouldn’t melt in your mouth.

Gut yontif to you. I'd never heard that before. I shall take this as a blessing upon my travels.

Indeed, usually people only do it when they feel there's no choice or when the uncertainty and fear becomes too much to bear.

I think I'll end up there within a year or two. Lots of people are leaving Russia, and not just draftable men or foreigners. My wife's parents can't t...

It's probably more the latter, but there's a lot of uncertainty and the direction things are going is towards martial law, closed borders, and totalit...

Thank you :cool:

That's a possibility. I have a good friend in Denia, which is where I was living before, and he has an extra bedroom. But we might start off in Baku, ...

Time to say goodbye to Moscow, I think.

Meduza, Al-Jazeera, Reuters, AP, Deutsche Welle, France 24, BBC world news, NPR. No source is free of bias, but some are more reliable and professiona...

Yes, they're tankies all right. But I'd like to address "far-left". While I'm not denying that it's a far left website in some sense, or even that tan...

My geographical location unfortunately gives me no special knowledge. I have a sense that people are increasingly scared (for example, many of my wife...

The other thread has plenty of music that's not rock and pop. Maybe you've just been looking at the last few pages. Be that as it may, I was just list...

I feel envy. I haven't had the pleasure of waiting for cows. Geese I don't care about.

We know that's your point. It's such an obvious and uninteresting point that I question what you're in this discussion for. Obviously the referendums ...

I’m not a big fan of boethius’s view, but I have to say, your reaction to his statements of fact is just bizarre. Whether or not the referendum result...

I think you know I have squirrel issues and you’re just rubbing salt in my wounds. Be that as it may, on the day I flew to Scotland my brother said to...

A significant sentence in that article comes after it says that the authorities, according to law, cannot just round people up in airports, train stat...

I’ve found it difficult to tell. Vlad Vexler—who you linked to above and whose videos I think are pretty good—plausibly says no, Putin has no ideologi...

Putin has been struggling against nationalists for at least ten years. In the Russian context he’s centre-right, and wants to neutralise opposition fr...

As kids we were obsessed with Smokey and the Bandit and The Cannonball Run. Around that time a few people I knew were into CB radio as well, which may...

I don't encourage innovation with this recipe but I imagine this might be quite good, so I'll let it pass.

I've thought long and hard about which ingredients are essential, which non-essential. In a nutshell, it's far and away best with all the ingredients,...

:lol:

In the early nineties I worked at IBM in Greenock. For lunch and dinner the canteen provided a nice range of food but a large portion of the workforce...

I’ll share a recipe. I got it from a healthy eating recipe book I was given years ago. It’s a couscous salad and the combination of flavours is like m...

Last night someone asked me to delete their account. I can’t remember who it was but the name “ArielAssante” rings a bell.

I’ve just had a look at one of them. A Christian using Christian teachings to criticise homophobic Christians. All quite commendable, but entirely non...

Discounting the pinned discussions, the first religious discussion I can see when counting from the top of the main page is the fourteenth, so it does...

Interesting :cool:

Murakami is criticized in Japan for his overly Western style, so I doubt that. He's just an occasionally terrible writer.
