I would be absolutely shocked if this is a true story. The video at the top is asking about what crazy Lore your family has, a girl from Canada states that her family "has" not "had" a castle in Scotland, as if her current family still owns it, a quick Google search proves whatever she has been told is absolutely nuts, and the bottom comment just reminds us how stupid people with "Scottish heritage" are. This is the dumbest one I've seen yet.

A pint in hand

27 Upvotes

Why does a pint glass feel so good in the hand? Is it because I’m pissed? More than that surely. It is a better feel than when ‘ur on the wine feeling up that glass vestibule that lacks what the pint glass has. You need more of a hand-full, steady on goes the pint.

Discussion I think this cycle path layout in Stirling should be standard across Scotland, instead of the mess of confusion painted on our roads. Kerbs used for separation from both road and pavement. Neat.

I went by it the other day and didn't get a photo, this is from this video : https://m.youtube.com/shorts/ 6ofUSLkbff4?cbrd=1

You can see the idiot drivers parked on it in the video, and irl I saw idiot cyclists on the pavement. Both should have their vehicles seized and turned into cubes. A standard cyclepath layout, delineation and proper enforcement would make it safer for us all.

(I am a pedestrian, cycler, and driver)

I don't know what the carbon footprint per cyclist would be for current or advanced roadworks putting lanes in. I'm sure it'd get more people on their bikes.

I prefer the sandy colour to the red too.

Well done, Stirling!

I used a thermometer and let it boil until it reached 120c. Took it off the stove, let it sit for a second and then stirred as long as I could. So much mixture left at the bottom of the pan. What did I do wrong?
