probably an annual moan from me but the difficulty in getting a christmas card that say's granny on it. In scotland.

Shop i was in today had grandma, nanny, nan, nana Batman then utterly hideous monstrosities with mommy and mom on them. You could get mammy, mama, ****ing bampy but not one card with granny?

BBC listing teams with left-hand side players before right-hand side players. Why? Is it to somehow accommodate viewers who read right to left? If so, political wokeness gone differently-sane.

Never have any problems with Granny for birthday or Christmas, always seem to find them at the card factory.

Another vote for the Card Factory, you can get virtually every card you need there.
Even the "Happy Birthday Uncle Dad" for our Gorgie chums!

Nana cards used to be hard to come by when I was young as well, not needed to look for one in about 20 years now but I mind it being a hassle trying to get one. Weird really, you’d think it’d make sense to run a survey on what folk call their grandparents in each part of the UK and stock your stores accordingly.

People walking against the flow. I was at a trade fair in town yesterday and there were thousands of visitors. The fair was set out in a way that directed visitors from hall to hall in a round robin system and yet there were some who decided to do the tour in the opposite direction. I'm all for freedom of choice but what for me was a slight annoyance, must have been for them a real pain in the arse fighting their way through crowds moving in the opposite direction. Why?

There are a load of Scottish artists selling their cards on Etsy, it where I get most of my cards now. Couple from a quick search below

Handy for future reference. I used Moonpig quite often but like supporting the small shops on Etsy and the like.

Surprised by the recommendations for Card Factory on here. That's where I was earlier and couldn't see anything suitable. When I asked someone who worked there she said they had no granny cards for Christmas. Finally found one tucked away in Asda.

Leave its detached legs hanging out the blender within the first couple of days and put it down to death by misadventure.

People who take their dogs out in wee prams, **** off, does it wear a nappy and sucks a dummy tit ?

(Most) dogs have 4 ****ing legs, they have a 2 legged advantage over humans and you want to give them 4 wheels too !!

I was down at Joppa Quarry walking my dug and there was a squad of Women and Men beside the swingpark, all chatting with their daft wee dugs in their buggies and just looking glaikit, the dugs didnt look any better.

Im worried this is the start of it down lovely Joppa, peace shattered by dog buggies and akin to boy racer meet ups. Soon they will be going radge by drinking Perrier water, doing ****ing wheelies, wheel spins and donuts over our beautiful lush grass 🫨

Changing the way widgets on user interfaces work.

Exhibit A : Date pickers. why do they keep phannying about with them ? The latest attempt has the scroller for years go up instead of down… infuriating.

If the app is designed properly why is there a need for any / radical change other than cosmetic?
the fundamentals don’t change - register, login, search, locate product / service , select, purchase. Add/Modify details/ products and Cancel. All problems generally understood and “solved” before now.

People that describe going somewhere as either going up or going down to, with no actually link to the geography. Like saying Hibs are going down to Aberdeen next weekend. It’s annoyed me for year's but there was a podcast with a Geordie talking about going up to Birmingham that reminded me to vent.

I think the hill factor overrides any North / South thing.

Although Birmingham will surely be uphill from Newcastle in that example and going up to Birmingham from Newcastle is clearly ridiculous so maybe less sure.

I think there is probably a distance related tipping point on whether you're going up or down depending on elevation or geography.

[Bridge hibs]

Fly tippers, ****ing tramps 🤬

Was down Seafield way yesterday and passed one of the disused retail units right beside the public tip and there was a pile of rubbish that had been tipped in the corner which included an old bath.

I get people want to get rid of stuff on the cheap but it just plays into the hands of those trampy *******s who have no care in the world where they dump it 🤬

Odd fact.

if you are getting the train to London from Edinburgh technically you are going up to London now down.

Typically self important Londoners would have you believe it but you just need to look at a map. 😉

[CropleyWasGod]

King's Cross Station is 22m above sea level, according to Wiki.

Not sure about Waverley, but I would have thought it's more.

Nothing to do with the map (or sea levels!)…but yeah maybe more aligned to the perceived importance of London!

But 100% if you get on the train at Waverley you travel on the up line to London.

So you are travelling up to London while going down to London.

My neighbours, seems like another couple of families have moved in to the house, they are a f***ing nightmare, swept the pathway last week and last night when I came in there was about 5 folk standing outside smoking with fag ends everywhere, and I mean hundreds and hundreds of them, had words with them about the mess and thought they would clean up, went to put some rubbish out this morning and they were all standing at the pathway smoking and they haven’t cleaned up, it’s not my nature to grass on folk but this is not going to have a good ending, and the loud screaming from the women through the night, they are in the same room so why shout so loud, there is also a young kid in the house who is very polite to me but he is never at school and just runs about the back garden, I feel sorry for him as he has no friends.
