@StagecoachHLand What about Skye services? Your app is useless

Good morning, Due to adverse weather conditions and poor road conditions, and the Amber warning for snow and ice, All Inverness services are suspended until 0800 at present. The safety of our drivers and passengers are paramount. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

My statement

@MeghanEMurphy They have figured it out. The check out and check in times are a logical solution. Who wants to spend all their time in the hotel! In my 50+ years, I've only used the early/late option a handful of times, and I'm happy to pay for it because I understand how their business works.

You guys are all retarded. Everyone knows hotel rooms need to be cleaned. But if you’re paying between $300-1000 a night you should get the room for the full 24 hours and the hotel can suck up the cost of hiring more cleaning staff or staggering check ins. It should be a problem passed down to the customer because hotels wanna make more $$

The fact that hotels won't let you check in until 3 or 4PM but make you check out at 11AM is the biggest scam in history. How have we all let them get away with this?

post a picture YOU took. just a pic. no description

@WingsScotland Thank you for your sacrifice of an evening.

There are not the words to describe what an utterly feeble waste of time and air that was.

Then this. Christ.

Happy World Animal Day! 🎉 Let’s celebrate this day together and create the biggest thread ever of our pets on this platform! Please share a picture and the name of your pet(s) in the comments! 😊 And give your pet an extra treat and hug from me.. ❤️

#Skye Good morning. Due to adverse weather and current road conditions, all services on Skye are temporarily suspended and will be reassessed at 08:00. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Rest in peace, Patricia Routledge 🙏🏻 In memory of her, I encourage everyone to read these words of hers from February last year. Whether young or old, you're bound to get something out of it. ***** "I’ll be turning 95 this coming Monday. In my younger years, I was often filled with worry — worry that I wasn’t quite good enough, that no one would cast me again, that I wouldn’t live up to my mother’s hopes. But these days begin in peace, and end in gratitude. My life didn’t quite take shape until my forties. I had worked steadily — on provincial stages, in radio plays, in West End productions — but I often felt adrift, as though I was searching for a home within myself that I hadn’t quite found. At 50, I accepted a television role that many would later associate me with — Hyacinth Bucket, of Keeping Up Appearances. I thought it would be a small part in a little series. I never imagined that it would take me into people’s living rooms and hearts around the world. And truthfully, that role taught me to accept my own quirks. It healed something in me. At 60, I began learning Italian — not for work, but so I could sing opera in its native language. I also learned how to live alone without feeling lonely. I read poetry aloud each evening, not to perfect my diction, but to quiet my soul. At 70, I returned to the Shakespearean stage — something I once believed I had aged out of. But this time, I had nothing to prove. I stood on those boards with stillness, and audiences felt that. I was no longer performing. I was simply being. At 80, I took up watercolour painting. I painted flowers from my garden, old hats from my youth, and faces I remembered from the London Underground. Each painting was a quiet memory made visible. Now, at 95, I write letters by hand. I’m learning to bake rye bread. I still breathe deeply every morning. I still adore laughter — though I no longer try to make anyone laugh. I love the quiet more than ever. I’m writing this to tell you something simple: Growing older is not the closing act. It can be the most exquisite chapter — if you let yourself bloom again. Let these years ahead be your TREASURE YEARS. You don’t need to be famous. You don’t need to be flawless. You only need to show up — fully — for the life that is still yours. With love and gentleness, Patricia Routledge ***** Once more, rest in peace. 🤍

@Olive_the_ab0ve No! I have spoken to very many trans people. And I think the gender identity ideology that animates so much transactivism is not only untruthful but deeply damaging to many mainly young people. Indeed it is driving the worst medical ethical crisis of the 21 st century.

My petition to the UK Government for full transparency on the impacts of 86 deregulated free zones across England, Scotland, and Wales has finally been approved. I urge people across the UK to sign and share this petition as widely as possible. This is hugely important for the future of your communities, your property rights, your land, your towns, your cities, your councils, your citizenship rights, your collective sovereignty, for rejoining the EU, and the use of your taxes to fund corporations like US Blackrock, who pay zero taxes in free zones for 10 years. The UK's 86 deregulated free zones are licensed for a quarter of a century, and are embedded with secondary legislation, meaning zero Parliamentary and public scrutiny. This is in your hands now.

7. A 5-year-old boy invited his entire kindergarten class to witness his adoption. They all showed up.

This is the most horrific story you’ll read in a while. Karen was to have an urgent hysterectomy, and on requesting that Rose not be on the team, was asked: ‘How would Rose feel if she was asked not to come to theatre?’ Lack of paywall deserves credit. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…
