@ChrisFalconer16 @barstoolsports I’ll join you in a Tennents or 20 😁

@Rrrrr_EJ @barstoolsports Can’t stand the stuff myself, although I am partial to a Tennents or 20.

A bunch of drunk Scotsmen partying in the same harbor where the founding fathers dumped tea is what the World Cup is all about

@FluffWingBirdie Is he pissed as a…?

Hello

@ChrisFalconer16 @barstoolsports True. Not that I have a bottle ready to go, obviously. 🧐

@Rrrrr_EJ @barstoolsports Pfft. The single malts will be reserved for after the match. Win, lose or draw! 🥃

@ChrisFalconer16 @barstoolsports They won’t even have opened the single malts, yet. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@barstoolsports Drunk? They’re just warming up! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Some might accuse us of being a single-issue group. Guilty as charged! We're all about women and our sex-based rights. However, we're happy to bend the rules for one night only. 😉 Tonight, it's all about the boys. Come on Scotland! 💪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #Scotland #WorldCup

@Calumn @8forClark @MDMorrison82 Just a few, maybe 🤔

@Rrrrr_EJ @8forClark @MDMorrison82 Me three, I wonder how many followers he's just gained ;)

I will be following @MDMorrison82 to ensure I don’t miss any further updates. Mike, your fate is sealed. Go with it and enjoy, my friend. Oh, and remember, if you ever decide to visit us, you’ll have plenty of places to stay 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@BradfemlyWalsh Far too much like hard work, manicures. Hands and nails are for using.

I do nothing to my nails but keep them short and it's wonderful to see a thread full of other women just like me who can't be arsed with manicures etc.

@MDMorrison82 @Fontybits1 We are definitely big fans of a decent sausage.

Can’t send the lads off to the match on an empty stomach. I hope Europeans like sausages. #NoScotlandNoParty

@sleedec28 @MDMorrison82 Agreed. A series of videos would be fab! 😁

@Rrrrr_EJ @MDMorrison82 I've followed him too, seems like a proper nice bloke. Reckon he should do a series of video about his adventures when in Scotland when he goes over there after the tournament!😉

@Broonjunior @MDMorrison82 has been over for beers. He might need everyone to be a bit quiet, today. 😵

I take it we can assume that arrangements are in hand for Mike to engage in the full immersive experience. The honour of the nation is at stake.

@suzxu @WomenOScotland @Lee12342155 This is exactly how I felt when I first started paying attention. Madness. Total madness.

@WomenOScotland @Lee12342155 Perfectly said👌. For the first couple of years there were times I thought I was going mad when I heard or witnessed what was happening with the trans stuff, but it was the world that had gone nuts not me.

Remember when people would tell you that stories about children identifying as the opposite sex, schools encouraging it, teachers affirming it, or even kids identifying as things other than human were just "right-wing myths" or internet rumours? Many of us were seeing these stories years ago. We saw the videos, read the accounts from parents, followed the whistleblowers and watched the numbers grow. Yet when you tried to tell family and friends about the latest development, you sounded crazy because the mainstream media either ignored it completely or covered it in a way that downplayed what was actually happening. For a long time, we assumed these stories would eventually make the news because they were so shocking. Often they didn't. Or if they did, it was months or years later, after people had already been dismissed as conspiracy theorists for talking about them. Those were strange days. Children went from being isolated during the pandemic to returning to schools where, in some cases, they were being encouraged to question the reality of their own sex and expected to affirm beliefs they could plainly see conflicted with reality. It's reasonable to ask what effect this has had on young minds. Eventually, the media had no choice but to start reporting on some of it. The stories became too big to ignore. Women's sports became impossible to avoid. Most people pay attention to the Olympics, after all. Seeing a male athlete win in a women's category is the sort of thing that cuts through to people who haven't spent years following the issue. So does watching an ordinary working mother, finishing long shifts as a nurse, suddenly become a household name after being dragged into a legal battle for stating what most people believe to be common sense. The reality is that nobody sees as much of this as those who've gone down the (unfortunate) rabbit hole. The average woman agrees with basic boundaries - she doesn't want men in women's spaces and she knows sex is real - but she also has a job, a family and a life. She isn't spending hours reading reports, court cases, policy changes, school guidance and the countless stories that never make the headlines. That's why so many people are still stuck in the “middle”. Not because they support everything that's happened, but because they haven't seen even a fraction of what many of us have seen. From the outside, it can all appear fairly harmless: bright colours, rainbow flags, messages about inclusion, kindness and being yourself. If that's all you're exposed to, it's understandable why you'd struggle to see why anyone is concerned. It's only when you start looking beyond the branding and the slogans that you begin to understand why so many women have become alarmed. The mainstream media has started acknowledging more of it, but there is still a huge gap between what the public knows and what has actually happened over the last decade. Until that gap closes, many people will continue to see it primarily as a colourful movement about acceptance, compassion and self-expression. Most of us would agree that people should be free to be themselves and live their lives as they choose. The problem is that many remain unaware of the wider ideas and policies that have emerged alongside it, and the real-world consequences those have had in schools, healthcare, sport and women's rights. The minute those in the so-called middle start seeing the fuller picture, things may finally begin to change. Ordinary women like us won't have to keep shouting over the noise or doing the heavy lifting anymore. What many of us have spent years trying to highlight will become impossible for the wider public not to see. The reality behind the slogans, colours and carefully crafted messaging will be staring people in the face.

@MDMorrison82 Way to go, Mike!!! I’m not even going to ask about the hangover 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

It was a grand evening. The lads had me and a couple boys from the neighborhood over for cans and good talk. It’s a long day tomorrow. Viva #Scotland

@MDMorrison82 Do it, Mike. You know you want to 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🍻

Me trying to resist running across the street for daytime pints with the Scots.

@SueyQP @MDMorrison82 Isn’t it just? 😊

@Rrrrr_EJ @MDMorrison82 This is a lovely thread!! ❤️

@JoshChavis65 “Alliances have been formed. I return home with good news.” 😁

“I have made contact with the Scots” sounds like a 1777 Cornwallis journal entry 😂

@JLinkTX @MDMorrison82 It certainly can!

@MDMorrison82 @Rrrrr_EJ One post can change a person's life.

@8forClark @MDMorrison82 It’s the only way, Brian!

@Rrrrr_EJ @MDMorrison82 I’ve done exactly the same!!

@motorcityjudy @MDMorrison82 Always 😁

@Rrrrr_EJ @MDMorrison82 I knew if he would walk across that street he’d be welcomed with open arms!

@sable227 @KittenThwack @MDMorrison82 Every single time!

@Rrrrr_EJ @KittenThwack @MDMorrison82 Jet lag will do that to you.

@sable227 @KittenThwack @MDMorrison82 Oh wow! That looks incredible.

@Rrrrr_EJ @KittenThwack @MDMorrison82 Too bad you guys won’t be here in September. I think you would like this. kelso.gov/visitors/highl…
