The tariff changes could save you up to £21 a year. I have no idea how I'll spend that extra 40p per week. It's almost like our politicians have no idea at all. Maybe try taxing the rich and investing in the country. We fiddle at the fringes while making no difference at all

Who would have thought the Clotworthys were a bunch of moany faced twats

Everyone else at work is complaining it's too warm in the office. I'm like a frozen snotter and have jumper on and have made a mug of tea to try and warm me up.

My local Aldi hasn't had any 2ltr bottles of irn bru extra or diet for over 2 weeks. Tantamount to a national emergency in my opinion. How can a shop in Scotland not get irn bru 😕

If anyone wants a laugh get to Tesco in bathgate. Someone has reversed their SUV into the trolley bay and the fire brigade are currently trying to get it freed 😂😂

Nothing like discovering your car window won't go back up on a day with a yellow warning for rain eh. 40min of tiny flocks of the switch and a second pair of hands and it's sorted finally lol

There has been a tiny fly buzzing around my flat for a week. Tried shooing it out of open windows etc to no avail. Finally resorted to whacking it with some rolled up paper. Felt rotten doing it but despite having several rooms available it kept buzzing around my face 😂😂

Energy secretary interviewed on radio. More drilling helps us reach our net zero targets! I need that explained to me cos I'm not getting it

I really feel for the Scotland Women's rugby team. Revolving door with coaching team, plenty of injuries and the SRU having no clear plan. They need to get coaching set up right and just now we are a shambles.

The women's team were superb at the world cup. We had a good game plan and everyone was clued up on it. But SRU needed to swing the axe and put the women's game back 10 years. At least that's how it feels right now.

Chopped contracts in the run up to WC and now throwing them about to sign players for Celtic league. It's almost like there was no plan which sounds about right for the SRU

We play our best stuff once game is gone. Some good talent coming through but I fear SRU will do their best to make an arse of it. Really missing Thomson and Orr in the midfield. Smith is a fantastic player but looks lost at the moment.

My AI powered not very smart speaker is at it again 8 attempts this morning to get it to play the correct radio station. No I don't want that one. No why are you playing an album on Spotify? I ended up at one point shouting Google stop you useless bastard. Gemini AI is utter shite!

My mate is a teacher of 25yrs and at an in service day watched 2 younger teachers give a talk on how they could use AI to set homework. My mate said well the kids will just use AI to do it. The reply was well yes but we can get AI to mark it too. He just shook his head

On my weekend golf trip away I mention a few accounts I follow on bluesky and someone asked oh whats that. Someone else replied oh that is a left wing echo chamber site. I've never been more proud in my life. There is nothing wrong with being left wing or giving a shit about society as a whole

Played Kingussie GC at the weekend in wet conditions but still managed to find some toadstools I thought only existed in cartoons 😂

I told my other half I'm going for a haircut and I'm considering doing something I might regret. I've been informed I am getting a simple trim and nothing more 😂😂

I have just finished an email with the words "moving forward" and I feel like a total arsehole. Next thing I will be using phrases like horizon scanning and I hope this email finds you well 😕

Every word, mate, every damn word ... this fella is doing what every guy on Earth should be doing. It's really not hard.

Fellas, we have to talk to our sons while they’re still young. This foundation👇🏽 is the way…

AI is a danger to human healthy. More specifically my blood pressure. Gemini on my smart speaker is fucking useless. Play absolute classic rock (my fave radio station) used to work fine. Now it's an album on Spotify. Ok play absolute classic rock radio. Still album on spotify

Ok so play absolute classic rock radio on rayo. It finally plays the station but on TuneIn. Last week it played it on rayo. Bloody infuriating 😂

If you're advocating dismantling the triple lock on British state pensions rather than greater taxation on the super-rich or rejoining the EU then you I'm afraid are part of the problem in this country no matter how liberal you might pretend to be. You're just another cosy middle-class useful idiot.
