Hi @bsky.app your facial recognition nonsense doesn't work can you fix it please my face is very obviously over 18.

I'd DM you about it but I can't verify my age to access my own DMs....

Aye min. Five weeks ken?

"Here’s the strategy. Join the Lib Dems, Greens, SNP or Plaid Cymru."

Sweet summer child you have learning to do. Few parties are less democratic than the SNP.

I'd leave it be for the moment. About to post Wordle....

Most odd. I have no insight, alas.

Is it skipping or missing shifts?

Benefits for corporations, none for citizens.

One place I worked allowed a rather over-inflated person to have the title Group Operations Director.

Hikers in spate in the parched and scorched Highlands, apparently. 🤨

To be consistent they should also be opposed to trees and plants.

Ah vole, it's time to bust out the opium pipe.

This is fascinating, and enraging! This needs exposed.

I have tried.....

The hardest bones containing the richest marrow can only be defeated by the united crunching of the united teeth of all dogs.

Maybe @libbybrooks.bsky.social or @severincarrell.bsky.social can make a story of tracking down the owner of Craiganour?

Engaging with the institutions of modern civic greener fairer Scotland is a test of the mettle of any man. Incompetent, officious, untouchable and malicious by turns.

Very grateful to @andywightman.scotfor hosting this article. It details the haughty disdain of @mairigougeon.bsky.social and the plodding incompetence of @policescotland.bsky.social.

How can we Scots prosper if we're not allowed to know who owns our actual country?

Hey I like the sound of that bike!

Saunter indeed! Glad you enjoyed the book....what's a CaniBike? Riding with your dog?

The cover of the book Overlander by Alan Brown.

CaniBiking with Bobbie the Labradoodle in the Cairngorms National Park in Scotland. She's taking a breather and having a drink in a ford on a rough track.

Thoroughly enjoying @overlander.bsky.social's saunter across Scotland.
