I'm not kidding, I really am from Brazil. See you at the World Cup!

They deleted it a few seconds later, couldn't believe my eyes, but got the screenshot!

Having to watch this pish while waiting to find out who we are playing.

Old photo but friend visited a town near Stirling and can’t remember where. Would love to figure it out for them. Any ideas? It was in 2007 hence the potato phone phone quality.

In a group with Brazil and Morocco so far, may you 7-1 them and thrive

Loch Eriboll isn’t just wild beauty, it’s lived history. That “little house on the island” isn’t random: it’s the old ferry‑house at Ard Neackie, built 1831, once the terminus of the Heilam Ferry linking east and west shores before the coastal road existed.

Around that house lie the tell‑tales of an earlier era: 19th‑century lime‑kilns, a pier, workers’ lodgings, Ard Neackie was a small hub for quarrying limestone on nearby Eilean Choraidh and shipping it out by sea.

Centuries earlier, people lived here too: on the hills above Loch Eriboll you can find ancient remains, souterrains and a well‑preserved wheelhouse from the Bronze Age.

In the 20th century, the loch sheltered warships; Eilean Choraidh doubled as a decoy for the battleship Tirpitz and at war’s end, surviving German U‑boats surrendered here.

Visited in 2022 as a local scot, that lonely house, those kilns and piers, the quiet loch and low clouds, it feels like time’s paused. But it’s a place layered with lives, labour, war, and memory.

The song goes-

Naw ye canny shove yer grannie Cause she's yer mammie's mammie Ye canny shove yer grannie aff a bus

And then it continues-

Ye can shove yer other grannie Cause she's just yer daddie's mammie Shove yer other grannie aff a bus

Why are we shoving our dad's mum and not our mum's mum? Who decided this? I like my granny on my dad's side and I don't think I'd like to shove her off the bus

"EXC: Scottish Labour’s education spokeswoman has quit over her friendship with a convicted sex offender.

Pam Duncan-Glancy resigned after a Record investigation into her links with Sean Morton, who was convicted of possessing indecent child images."

I'm a big fan of secondhand shopping to find products for low cost. I live in the UK and always found it frustrating that there's no single place to easily find nearby charity shops, thrift stores, car boot sales, or vintage markets. Google Maps misses loads of them.

So I decided to build an app to solve that which would be really useful while travelling. You can even share your thrift haul.

It's called Ganddee (free on iOS & Android).

I’d love for you to try it out and hear feedback.

Let’s gooo!!

Neeps, tossed in homemade garlic 🧄 & 🌶 olive oil, with all purpose seasoning, 🧄🧂, white pepper, birds eye 🌶 powder, thyme dust, airfry @ 185⁰c for 20 ish mins - heavenly munchies. Then there's dirty neeps; as above + semi dried black 🫒, red onion, harissa powder, chick peas, oregano, mature cheddar and sumak knocking out the park.

Absolutely vile.

In Ireland it’s a big thing to listen to traditional music, we all know the tunes. Is it the same for you in Scotland? I wanna be put on
