I mean we do but its devolved and running a skeleton crew because the Dup threw a ragie at having to play second fiddle to a Irish first minster for the first time ever in our countries history.

so now its all about the protocol and how it threatens their identity and place in the union yada yada, something that can't be measured or examined just a vague notion so can forever be out of grasp

its tiring.

nta but it comes from Manannán, a Celtic sea god. so yes a moid in a sense, but one that a lot of women contributed to the image of, so it's not as cut and dry as abrahamic god shit, many of the stories and mytholgoy were known by the old ladies, rather than the young men. debatable topic but pretty sure everything I said is very solid and no-one can argue, thank you have a good day

Any anons living in the west coast of Scotland? How's it doing? I was lucky to get away from the shitehole I grew up in (North Ayrshire) but I do miss it sometimes.

There's lots of untouched natural areas, or places that had industry but was just abandoned for nature to take over, but it's not really recognised or appreciated, and I worry it'll be "developed".

Oh, and I'm so thankful that you can do a bachelors for free in Scotland, because if I couldn't I don't think I'd have come above the poverty line and left the country. I also miss the right to roam, I was so taken aback encountering my first private street here.

Norn Iron nonnie again, we're gonna have to have another Election again because the DUP have opted out for so long over their issues with the Protocol/British identity being threatened.

I'm a little worried because I can see the Unionist base coming out in support and making sure there won't be another Irish first minister again for a while.

First time in 100 years and the only time in our countries history and we didn't even get to take office.

Norn Iron politics makes me so depressed at times, just a money pit full of sexist bigots and creationists and how overlooked and forgotten about it is in the UK so so often.

i went on a school trip to Scotland when i was 12 years old and although the trip didn't go that well due to personal reasons, i have very warm memories of that place and the people i've met there. picrel has been my wallpaper for years.

That's kinda funny because I saw Freya in God of War and that made interested in hand tats.
I'm still worried though about racists appropriating them. Like Celtic crosses has been a thing here forever but dickheads have been flying them in states and other places and now it looks racist.

Thoughts on the Viper Higgins? All the lads seem to think he's the second coming of Christ, seems like an arsehole to me. They post in so many clips of him into our WhatsApp group and they are all terrible.
I never watched Hardy Bucks so I don't get the references but it still seems like shite.

>>1971276
We're you watching his stream? I think he's alright. I fucked a guy about three years ago that had a jacket like the viper and on reflection I think I memed myself into the attraction because I find the hardy bucks so endearing but real life counterparts not so much the ignorance does not become endearing.

Apparently there's talks the other actors are going to continue the show without him because he prefers streamers. Some people think it can't go on without him but you could actually if you watch the rte version you could just write him out. Eddie and Buzz carry the show

I've popped into one or two of his streams. That one where he covered the Iran thing last weekend was some weird modern reality shit.
Like he seems okish but the fact that he's English putting on a rural Irish accent rubs me the wrong way. Feels like he's making fun of us. It gives me the ick.
Rest of the Hardy Bucks guys seems ok. I'm not into it but I'm not offended by it.
