Bugger I’ve just superglued my fingers together. Why is it that superglue stick everything apart from the thing you wanted it glue.🤬

Starmer invites Trump to visit us in Scotland. Oh what joy, I think I’ll go and prostate myself in front of them showing them due respect. Maybe not, fuck them both🖕🖕

What with the state of the world, evil politicians and my continuing physical decline, I’m hoping for a miracle to cheer me up. Not going to happen is it?🤷‍♂️ I’ll just go and to my head in a bucket of water* * Apologies to Douglas Adams

I see Labour has broken another promise (I’ve lost count of them) Energy costs increasing way beyond inflation. We have the most expensive energy in Europe yet Scotland produces more energy than we can use. Is there any argument for staying in the union? Scotland, get out of the U.K.

I really shouldn’t mix wine, weed and Tramadol but sod it, takes away the pain. I’ll no doubt suffer for it later but anything that reduces the pain is worth it. First time I’ve done this for ages but I think I deserve a relatively pain free day every couple of months.

How long before Starmer kowtows to the mighty Musk? Some might say we are already under Trump and Musks thumb. Must we wait to see Farage as PM or get the fuck out of this so called union now.

First time I’ve managed to get out of bed for three days. This man flu just doesn’t go away……

Another day, another pain🥺 Bloody annoying the as you get older, you get a new pain every day. 😢😢😢

How cringe making is the BBCs decision to censor David Tennants (very mild) jokes about Trump at the BAFTAs. Good lord is this how subservient we have become to Trump.?

JD Vance seems just as crazy as Trumpo.Talks absolute bollocks and lies constantly. Just fuck off back to the USA and plan the invasion of Canada and Mexico.

Labour seem to want to beat Reform rather than govern for the people. This simply means we get reform policies from a Labour government. What happened to the Labour Party of old? Bought and sold by hard right.

So latest poll shows Reform winning an outright majority in Westminster. Think about that, a hard right party in charge. Scotland get out of this toxic union NOW!!

Just spent all morning setting up a new aquarium, small sort of nano size. It’s a far cry from some my old tanks one of which was 10 times the size of this one, but my failing health meant I couldn’t cope with them. This is mainly for plants, maybe a few tiny fish and/or shrimp later.

The U.K. is not longer fit for purpose. It exists as if the empire is still a thing. All the countries would be better off if they go their own way. It’s time we ditched the royal family and become an independent republic. If England wants to keep them, fair enough, it’s their decision. Saor Alba🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Every day the world gets crazier. If I were younger and fitter I’d head into the forest and live off the land with no contact with the outside world. Unfortunately I’m old and broken so am stuck in this world. If I’m not mad already I’ll probably go batshit by the end of the year.

Oxymoron of the day:- Trump intelligence

I used to quite fancy buy a Tesla (if I had the money which I don’t) Now the only thing I’d want to do with a Tesla is ram it up Musk’s arse.

Again I’m struggling to come up with something witty or political to say today, it must be my age😀 So I’ll just say Saor Alba 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Quick check to see if the news is any better today, no, what did I expect? Starmer to advance traditional Labour policies? Trump to grow a brain? Musk to have compassion?

Oxymoron of the day:- Labour socialism

People said Trump was demented but he’s only gone and proved it. Ethnic cleansing on an unimaginable scale in Gaza . I’m honestly lost for words

Oxymoron of the day:- Tory compassion

I notice both the U.K. Labour Party and its Scottish branch office imply that they are socialist. I think Labour must have changed the definition of socialist because I see little socialist policies that I would recognise there.

Finally got some sleep last night thanks to lots of drugs. Hopefully the shoulder pain seems on the way out, no doubt some other pain will come along and replace it.😀😀😀

Pain in my shoulder getting worse and even silly amounts of Tramadol is making no difference. Having to resort to a more ‘herbal’ solution.

Hellish night, aches and pains, couldn’t sleep. Eventually got a couple of hours in an armchair. Being old really sucks😩😩😩

Labour won’t get a second term. The next government will most likely be a Tory/Reform coalition, which is bad news for us all. Scotland has a lifeboat that is independence. Unfortunately though, some of the less intelligent Scots are still standing around listening to the band as the ship goes down.

I did not have high hopes about Starmer as PM, but I really had hoped that with a Labour Govt there would at the very least be an end to performative cruelty, but apparently not. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

A Quick Look at the news and I wonder when did people lose their humanity, their compassion, their charity?

Here’s a confession, I’ve tried a huge variety of booze, often to excess (when I was a lot younger) but I have never tasted Buckfast, a tradition I intend to continue until I die. Does that disqualify me from being a true Scotsman? Give a a wee dram of a fine malt now and then and I’m happy.

Apparently a Tory MP has called for us to have a better work ethic. Coming from a MP? Seriously? I worked my ass off every day for 45 years and what did I get? A shitty pension and more stress related illness’ Toddle on asshat.

"Great news" Scotland will get the opportunity to pay "our share" of the cost of Heathrow's new runway. We'll also "benefit" from more flights into London and less to "regional" airports like Edinburgh. Pensioners, Waspi women and the poor will be so glad Labour have now found the magic money tree.🤔

Yet again Labour ignores Scotland, Rachel Reeves splashes the cash for England and the Scots get fuck all. And as for that lying scroat Ian Murray 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

The level of human stupidity amongst many people now no longer amazes me. The hatred and prejudice that exists in some is a sad indictment of the human race. Sometimes I wonder if the planet would be better off without us.

To my eternal shame I had my first Cadbury’s crème egg today, in January FFS. Sod the diabetes 😀😀😀

If Starmer and his cohorts aren’t bad enough, the next general election is liable to bring in a Tory/Reform coalition. If this is a bit too dystopian for you the only answer is Indy…

How can a Labour politician from the socialist party Kier Hardie was a leading light possibly take up a seat in the House of Lords? Yet they do, hypocrites all. (Edited 12:07 via @skeetsapp.com)

Oxymoron of the day:- Working Royal

FFS now it’s snowing 🤬🤬🤬

As far as I can tell my roof seems to survived the storm intact. Hope I’m not speaking too soon. Certainly less damage than hurricane bawbag in 2011

Europe has a message for Elmo.

And the electricity goes off Then on Then off Then on Then off Then on Make your bloody mind up!

Electric went off Bugger Electric went on 😀

My bold and fearless Staffy is hiding in a corner quivering 😔 he’s a complete wuss we’re now considering giving him the sedative normally reserved for fireworks. Any loud noise and he panics, a cat hissed at him last week and he almost had a breakdown.

Just tried to go for a walk, bad idea😀😀😀

Do you think that Trumpo will give me a presidential pardon for the bar of chocolate I stole from the sweetie shop when I was 7? I think it is a lesser crime than some of the psychopaths he’s set free.
