Problem over here is that August is the worst month (always floods / thunderstorms etc.) but nobody ever seems to notice.

So we all just get subtly angrier at each other, never knowing why, then reach for the Halloween decorations in desperation. The root source is always August. #MakeAugustHistory

And every *single* online news site illustrates their "coverage" with a copy and paste image of *that* Scotrail train at Saltcoats 10 years ago.

The daisy chain of cloud and weather fronts linked to the tail of Storm Floris stretch around 5,600 miles.

If you could cloud surf, you'd end up in Bermuda!

Yep, it's a popular bit of cognitive dissonance among right wingers. You see the same with Americans talking about NYC - somehow it's simultaneously Assault on Precinct 13 meets The Warriors there, but also entirely populated by effete liberal sissies who wouldn't last five minutes in the Real World

Forbes always looked like she got lost at a “Scottish Family Party” conference and joined SNP by mistake, then couldn’t be sacked because We Agree On The Consutition.

You can’t be in a centre-left party if you think the world’s problems are all down to the gays, while billionaires burn everything.

Cherry is still there obvs, but she (wrongly) considers herself a leftie who’s just magically allowed to take trans people’s rights away for reasons.

Unless there are folk I’ve forgotten, the full-on crank right wing of the party is nothing without Forbes. Ewing was already chucked out. Mason? Lol.

Unless this ends up being a swerve and she comes back at Westminster of something, Kate Forbes standing down is unequivocally good for the SNP and independence.

Can’t even let your 11th man bat these days. Cos of Woakes.

I can't believe this.

The BBC are reporting that if Chris Woakes faced a ball, India wouldn't try to get him out, but would keep hitting his bad shoulder until he died.

How is this allowed?!

Beating a guy with his arm in a sling was really poor from India, very disrespectful, a tear rolls down the face of the beautiful game.

Right can we get him to A&E now? Four days late?

Chris Woakes stands grimacing in pain, his arm in a sling inside his cricket… strip? What do you call it? England still need 10 runs to win the match (and nine to win the series), but India need one wicket to win the match and tit the series.

This is the most ludicrous thing I’ve ever seen in sport lol. Why don’t they just have subs? What are we doing here?

Think Brexit is bad? Frank McAveety has confirmed that #ScottishIndependence will lead to the Munros being relegated to Corbetts. No Thanks.

Where there is desire
There is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame
Someone's bound to get burned
But just because it burns
Doesn't mean you're gonna die
You've gotta get up and try
And try, and try

Catastrophic subtitling on the 1941 movie "Love on the Dole".
