I have yelled AH'M A FIFTY-YEAR-OLD MAAAN-UH at least twice. There will probably be more to come.

Lots of flags going up round our way in Battlefield and Govanhill - but our ones are a combination of the Saltire and the flag of Palestine

John MacL @johnmacl.bsky.social · Aug 29

Scottish flags all over the lampposts in #Maryhill Glasgow. And on some balconies. I saw a guy with one on his balcony and asked why - “Ummigrunts” he barked.

This is really sinister, coordinated & tactical.

The 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 is not a racist flag

All people, of all nationalities are welcome in #Maryhill

I had to double-check there that I definitely wrote "fishing" and not "fisting". Life hasn't been the same since the Robson Green incident.

I don't understand how Richard Ashcroft is still making records.
Especially when you consider he's been dead since 1995, when all four members of The Verve tragically perished in a bizarre fishing mishap not long after releasing their second album.

Israel: "Oh, you mean WE'RE not allowed to kill anyone either? Shit, sorry, my bad. Uh... OK, ceasefire for real this time? That one was just a practice."

In all seriousness though, all of the above terms are in fact used in Glasgow - only by this one guy though, who's called Finlay and lives off Byres Road.

Shout-out to the wee guy having a piss behind the outdoor lift shaft at Mount Florida station in the apparent belief that he was out of sight of everyone, including an entire train going past.

It's cool how when you try to search for the solution to a computer problem now you can pick from an AI summary, several out-of-date videos by a guy with a shitty mic, or some forum posts on the publisher's site dealing with an obsolete version of the software
