This is wrong. Causing death while driving should be punished by a lifetime loss of the privilege of driving on the roads. [It would need a VERY brave government, with a mahoosive majority, to have any chance of this happening 😒]

'Earning' a driving licence gives one the privilege to drive on our roads. This privilege can, like all privileges, be revoked. The current situation/perception seems to be that this privilege is actually an 'entitlement' and therefore 'will/must' be restored at a later date.

My Father told us that, every time the Duke heard the 1 o'clock gun from the castle, he climbed down from his horse, walked round the statue and remounted for another day in the saddle. 👍🏻

With what did you replace the coffee machine- one that can make 5 different kinds of drink you will never use or one that makes the 1 drink you actually like - and make every time? 🤔 😉

Talking of rough cycle paths - have you been on the Ferry Road/ NEd path between Wardie Rd and S Trinity Rd? 😵‍💫 Short section but getting rougher by the year/winter...

Been a long time since they were last used. Maybe they've forgotten how to transfer the power to the tram. 🤔

"Have I bitten off more than I can chew?" This squirrel was either struggling a fair bit with his treasure or was showing how clever he is, as he didn't run away when I came out of the house to take his photo - which is their usual response.

...so could we, the general (pedestrian/cycling) public, move the signs onto the road space in order to keep ourselves segregated/safe from vehicular traffic? Legal or not?

EmbraScoosh @scoosh.bsky.social · 16/08/2026
Is it legally acceptable/permitted to move them onto the road space? ...perhaps even with some cycle space too...😈

Our local neighbourhood WassApp group has been encouraging people to clear the pavements in front of their houses... ...except for those concerned for the 'pollinators' who "might lose their habitats". Why said pollinators should choose the pavements over the many large gardens escapes me. 🤔

😥 Not going to make it to PoP 🚲 today but have a great day everyone and hope the 🌧 stays off until all are safely home...or having a wee 🍺 or a 🥃. Keep the pedals turning 🚲 and the pressure on the ScotGov and Councils...

BHS, Debenhams, M&S food, Boots, Waterstone's bookshop, Baxters were all there at the start. OT really died when BHS and Debenhams closed, with M&S food and the rest following. Only Boots still there.

I then saw the kestrel eating it - all calm and unhurried...until it was so stuffed it had to walk slowly to the 'safety' of the bushes behind. It couldn't go far, as there is a 10ft wall on one side, a 6ft wooden fence behind with no access under it.

Is it also because the Ryder Cup has become so expensive to attend, that those attending are not real golfers, for whom the etiquette and manners of the sport are part and parcel of the whole game ? Instead, those who can afford to go are just boorish louts, with too much money...and no manners ?
