Valentine's Day was looming
And the new florist shop was booming
But Andy had left it too late
A bunch from the garage was his fate
His ladyfriend smiled but inside she was fuming

The pub then a chippy sealed his fate
Zero chance of a follow up date

Not all of them. There are sites where you have to choose between ladyboy and genuine. It is a salutary warning about getting even slightly tipsy in dodgy places 

I was going to post up a sample but all the ones tried I found seem to be unreachable/disabled/not working - I suspect wokeness has struck and this is now a subject not-to-be-mentioned. Shhhhh....

Jim Ratcliffe  said  'UK colonised by immigrants'

Starmer said  ' Offensive and wrong.. ' and that Ratcliffe should apologise..

Apologise !!!!  for what ?.. He is not wrong.. 
If Starmer can not see that we are being overrun by immigrants he is a bloody fool..
The sooner we get these idiotic politicians out the better... 

We are becoming an Island of strangers... 

True.

Quote from: klondike on February 11, 2026, 07:47:12 PMSo in essence you don't like Farage because he is calling out the SNP for their poor performance and you think your only chance of an independent Scotland is through the SNP.

You may well be right in that but it doesn't alter my opinion that the entire UK is going to the dogs and none of the existing parties are even pretending to care any more or at least make no effort to fix the one problem that ensures the decline will continue - completely uncontrolled immigration.

I'll stick with my hope that Reform get their chance. They may well fail. None of the rest will even try.

I don't think Farage hates Scotland, he was right in my opinion to call out the SNP. The SNP's policies on women have done them no favours.  The Barnett formula probably needs adjusting too.    

I think a lot of Scots are becoming concerned about the size of the ethnic minority population, in Glasgow for instance, around 20% of the population are non UK born.  One in five!  They haven't had much reassurance that won't increase even more.  So they may turn to Reform.  But there will always be the die hard 'anyone but England' tribe.

There aren't that many male teachers in primary schools.
Men do run the risk of being accused of inappropriate behaviour .

But there is a difference 

In a school there are plenty of people around .
Teachers are not that intimate with students ( changing nappies etc ) 
Accidents are more likely dealt with by the school nurse .

Also primary school children can speak .
Babies and toddlers can't
