@DanniBrener Actually, it's "bollock naked"

To be that woman…. It’s “adult human female,” not “a pornified idea in a man’s head.”

@SecretSunBlog According to the Foos it's Never Gonna Give You Up. youtu.be/IdkCEioCp24?si…

Kurt Cobain always cited The Pixies, but "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is clearly just a minor-key rewrite of "World Shut Your Mouth." Same exact structure with big four chord intro, four note bassline driving the verse, build-up/pre-chorus, then that opening riff on the the verses. youtube.com/watch?v=DhRrr6…

@ScotNational "We have to do it now coz it really is so important and the ... aye and the ... people and ... ye know..." Well, that's me convinced.

'We've been ostracised and patronised long enough' Scottish actor Brian Cox explains why he is at today's independence march in Edinburgh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@SandyofCthulhu Critics always miss the fact that we're never more than 50 miles from the sea and eat a ton of fresh fish and seafood. And our lamb and beef is all grass fed and doesn't need much seasoning.

Here’s the sad truth. British food was ranked one of the great world cuisines in the 1800s. Actual snooty French chefs said British food was the best. It was destroyed by WW1, when it was made patriotic to eat crappy. Between the wars it really didn’t recover much, but then the rationing & privations of WW2 pretty much did it in. It has slowly improved since the 60s but it still has a long way to go. They went from Beef Wellington to mushy peas. I’ve spent plenty of time in Britain and yeah you can find some decent food, but it’s no wonder they’re hooked on Indo-Pak cuisine.

@HistoryBoomer The Army of the Dead at Minas Tirith is the change that pissed me off the most. It means the charge of the Rohan becomes irrelevant.

True. It's painful to see the elves marching in to help at Helm's Deep because that didn't happen. It's far worse to see the ghost army save the day at Minas Tirith, because not only didn't it happen, it takes all the dramatic tension away because ghosts are unbeatable!

@JDog83259 @luxemiaa @BarbieAdventure Yes. Put the full price in the menu like the rest of the world does. You're contradicting yourself anyway, you first said "The more she sells you, the more she makes" now its "you get the control of the amount based on how well the server performed.". What a shitty system.

@Penchanski @luxemiaa @BarbieAdventure Would you rather your bill be more and the boss pay it. With this system you get the control of the amount based on how well the server performed.

A woman on Instagram said: My husband and I go out to dinner and order lobster dishes at $50 each and the table next to us order burgers at $15 each. Why do we have to leave a bigger tip than the other table when we had the same waitress and got the same service?

@JDog83259 @luxemiaa @BarbieAdventure If you work on commission normally the boss pays it not the customer.

It’s a sales structure. The more she sells you, the more she makes. The more quality or volume of food you order, the higher she is compensated. The best way to quantify quality and volume is through the dollar amount of the total bill. So take a percentage of that and that’s the tip.

@A_D_PHIL @rik_big Because the SNP has been infiltrated of course🤪

@rik_big So why was an SNP MP the first person to call for a ban Rik?

Because it was for Scotland. That's literally the only reason.

@FemaleScotlandV Because The Scots colonized the Highlands and appropriated some of the culture (Highland Dress, Highland Games, Great Highland bagpipe, etc) into the Scottish identity, but not the language.

Scots actually did suffer to quite a large extent as a result of colonialism, in different manners, at different times. It was mostly lower class Scots. To find out about that you’d have to ask Scottish people, irrespective of any upper class agreements that were cast. Perhaps you could tell us why Scots speak English rather than Gaelic?

@YoDanno @ralphbakshi Spazgul

I remember the chills I got, the first time I saw this scene with the Ringwraith. Called me old fashioned, but I prefer the @ralphbakshi animated Hobbit and Lord of the Rings over the live action movies any day. Anyone else enjoy these?

@WingsScotland @Dave89579103 The OP wasn't packaging either, it was the display

@Dave89579103 (1) That is not “Easter egg packaging”. (2) I did not say “never”. So no.

The truth is that Easter eggs have very rarely actually had the word “Easter” on the packaging.

@Matt_Bracken48 Imagine using France 1914 as a template for France 1944. Now imagine using the Pacific 1945 as a template for the Gulf 2026. I'm no expert, but it seems a bit silly to me.

Will somebody please explain to me how, with the Strait of Hormuz a no-go-zone for the U.S. Navy, and our warships driven out of the Persian Gulf, we can support a USMC amphibious landing on Kharg Island, 750 miles from the eastern tip of Oman?🧵 Is the Tripoli Amphibious Ready Group going to storm into the Persian Gulf, where our Burke-class destroyers won't go? Obviously not. This idea is insane. How about by helo and tilt-rotor? Out of range. What if they stage in Kuwait or Saudi Arabia for helo and Osprey lifts across the Gulf? Russia and China will tell Iran where to aim their drones and missiles while the force is assembling. Maybe a mass paradrop? Straight into an "Alamo" siege. Great idea. Not. What if the Marines just capture some of those "small" islands in the Strait of Hormuz? Qeshm is bigger than Okinawa. Larak is bigger than Iwo Jima. Any idea how many Marines and Soldiers it took to conquer just those 2 islands, at what cost in KIA and WIA? I keep reading absolute MORONS on X telling how some A-10s are "softening up" an area larger than South Vietnam, so that a few thousand Marines can attack and hold . . . what? It's as if space aliens studying only still images had no sense of scale of earth creatures, and thought a mouse could eat an elephant. It boggles my mind.

@FrothyFriar I thought it was cool. What annoyed me in that battle was The Army of the Dead. It looked shitty and by effortlessly destroying the enemy made the Riders of Rohan's charge irrelevant.

Listen, I get that it was a fantasy movie...but this still annoyed me

@Prae54Rae Doesn't the tiny tax take confirm that it is actually depleting?

Based on the latest data, the Chancellor takes a variable amount of tax revenue from the North Sea, which has recently averaged £4.5 billion to £6.1 billion per financial year.  Scotland is being asset-stripped by English colonialists. Independence is the only alternative.

@ronniecowan Back in the real world, Oil and Gas is now the lowest single item in terms of tax revenue.

Wait a moment! The U.K. political parties said oil was running out back in 2014. 👀 Could they have been lying ? 😮 Gosh. What a shocker. 😮 12 years later it still being squandered by incompetent U.K. governments. We can change this. #bothvotesSNP

@gorbalsgoebbels Everything dwarfs oil and gas.

The SNP ignore the vast billions the UK Financial Services provide to everyone in Britain. If we left we’d not receive it. It dwarves oil & gas each year. Don’t believe me? Google it.

@robertmdaws They're still going x.com/CommandoComic

COMMANDO war comics .... Remember these ?

@ZoeJardiniere @1988Fpl @Cal_III So they are even more disproportionately highly represented in taking 40% of all new builds.

@1988Fpl @Cal_III That’s a greater proportion than they make up in the population I.e. they are disproportionately highly represented in construction. I’m so happy to be able to explain these simple mathematical concepts to you.

As a young person, genuinely what is the point? We’re paying extortionate taxes and concreting over the country to build homes for fucking foreigners whilst the youth go about empty-handed.

@sergeantdixie @TimforSenate The famine ended in 1852, which means he's counting a generation as 25 years. Should be more like 20 generations if his forebears were proper Irish 😂

@TimforSenate You aren’t Irish. If your only connection is 6 or 7 generations ago in no way shape or form are you Irish. You are American with distant Irish heritage. That’s it. You have no more insight into Ireland than anyone else born in the US.

Here's how it actually works, I'm Irish. Probably 6 or 7 generations from the Potato Famine and the reality that the British stole our land and our food during a period of low potato output. My lineage emigrated from that oppressive hell hole in the late 1800's and while none of the horrors perpetrated by the British upon the Irish have affected me directly I still have a strong disdain for "The British" and hate their king. Lineage upon lineage violence induces generational trauma.

@TimforSenate Could you expand on the "generational trauma" you're suffering?
