Insurance companies and bookies are one and the same. Neither wants to pay out and they both stack the odds in their favour.

I can’t believe someone felt the need to write this. Where on Earth did they encounter buttons at any other location?

‘Scottish’ Conservatives on telly again with their PPB. No ambition. No ideas. Just STOP THE SNP!!! I’ve zero time for them.

And razors!

A small spoonful is good at stopping hiccups.

Right enough. That 1% makes a huge difference.

Yes, we do. However, with Scotland’s share of the vote at 9%, Wales at 6%, NI at 3% and England at 82%, who do you think decides the Government? I know that’s based on population, but even if everyone except England votes for one party, we are still (easily) outnumbered.

I hope you weren’t trying to pay with a Scottish banknote. 😀

Yes. We were told that the only way to stay in the EU was to vote No. Then, a few years later, we were taken out by English and Welsh voters despite around 65% of Scots (and every constituency in the country) voting to stay. We currently have no way back until Westminster decides to rejoin.

True, but I’m not sure many of the promises made by Gordon Brown, David Cameron and the like, on the eve of the referendum have since been fulfilled.

I’m not disputing that either.

I’m not disputing that. It’s a proper confession. Also, insurance companies are crooks and shysters in my book, so anyone sticking it to them deserves some credit.

People in Scotland don’t hate England. They just don’t want to be told what to do, by politicians they don’t vote for, who are based 400 miles away in another country.

Johnnie? Was that you?

If this is true, then it’s much more clever and devious than most of the fesses I read. I like it.

The trauma!

This kink stinks.

Your employer would be a better target for your frustration. Pissing off your colleagues is poor form.

Pity, if, as you say, she was great craic.

If you close your eyes when he speaks he does sound quite like Boaby the Barman from Still Game.

Your logo’s the wrong way round!

There are *hardly any* public bins in Japan and virtually no litter. Folks there are just trained to take their rubbish home.

Hopefully my #totp feed will be functioning better by next week. Until then…

I’m not certain Lorraine was his wife at this point…

This is practically a national anthem in my part of the world. #totp

…but it’s very ropey!

Do the one about the Ser-en-geddeee. #totp

Scratch that. It’s just started going again!
