Loads and loads of good ideas out there that will get nowhere because the political system does what the lobbyists want I’m working at the moment on a project looking at using Scottish net zero technology in Africa, and specifically in the hydrocarbon sector. Some absolutely amazing stuff, but fund...

That's not a Gotcha. I've been away for a long time so I don't know the detail on Scottish Water and Sepa, but a publicly owned body failing does not mean that the ideal of public ownership is failing any more than Blackberry showed that private enterprise is bound to fail. We all have to be more d...

A couple of points. You pay less for water. Scottish water is not horrifically in debt. There is a shitload of work required on all UK water infrastructure. Though different depending on the region. Doesn’t really matter if they are still pumping shit into the rivers and sea That's not a Gotcha. I'...

Water supply and sewage management is and always will be a pubic health issue that should never be placed in the hands of the private sector!

I came here to get away from exactly this shite on PR

Yup, point taken

A seven your old doesn't give a shit about two men holding hands. They give a shit about Paw Patrol. There is a time and a place for talking about people's sexual preferences and it isn't age 7. Moron. That example isn’t talking about sexual preferences. I am no longer surprised by people who care ...

I'm specifically talking about sex education in primary school children, it's age 7 in Wales, kids that age do not need or require to know about the alphabet people. Only perverts and people who think the government should control all aspects of our lives think that. The parent excuse is just that,...

Sorry, that facile shite doesn't wash with me. The financial system IS a scam and the Media do control the current narrative, whatever that may be, with no dissenting voices allowed. Fuck all to do with Jews son. So now we have all governments, the entire financial system and the Media being contro...

Relevance?

Dunno, haven't thought too deeply about it, but maybe a figure who controls everything but we can't prove exists.

Quite. It's usually the first question I ask these loons, "so roughly how many people are involved in this?"

DAC, out of interest, do you believe in God?

In what way is it Lunacy? Do you trust your Government? Really? You are saying we are wilfully stupid and ignorant, as well as there is no debate, for not believing in something, but you can't tell us what or who. That's a bit mad. Do you trust your Government? It's not a bit mad, I can't give you ...

Not a scooby. - but just about every war fought in the last half century that involved the West was either built on lies or involved a regime change or both - constant war.... I think you'd have to be willfully stupid/ignorant not to think that someone is pulling the strings of how the world works....

A short story. Got call from GP practice a couple of weeks ago to go to give blood as I am on blood thinners following blood clot in lungs a few years ago probably caused by covid and they need to monitor my blood.

It's the best chance they have had, so best of luck to them.

Progress report I went to the hospital for a check on my progress and the results of the blood test were across-the-board positive -- the values that needed to decline have declined significantly (the bad cholesterol one the main one) and those that needed to improve had improved. My weight too has...

Had a kayak lesson during the week - I got given a sea kayak last year and thought it best to get a couple of lessons before I take it out.

Was a bit uber camp this year.

I tried to read the Wiki page for the Irish non-binary person who is a “they”. It’s an almost impossible read with theys, and theirs all over the place, quite amusing. Enjoyed their performance though, a good point of difference from the rest

The language used by the Left is pretty insane. By simply labelling 10s of millions of Americans who simply want a safe and productive America with a slur like "MAGA" tells us all we need to know. That being you're probably a privileged Socialist Commie Twat and you look down on people. A...

Ironically went further north for the weekend (Portsoy) and saw nothing.

Sooner or later you'll realise it's a global conspiracy against South Africa like the rest of the internet.

Even if that were to continue between now and the last possible moment they can call an election, surely it wouldn't fix anything with voters? What would be the lead time on growth actually making people feel better off? Wealth inequality and public services are the worst they've been in aeons to s...

So Wes Streeting has been in dialogue with more Tory MPs over possible defections. This really is getting quite bizarre now. I expect to see Sunak saying it's all going to plan again soon. The inertia from Government is doing the UK a disservice. It's so much of an utter shambles that I can only be...
