Saint Columba of Iona's Church in the Woodside area of Glasgow. Designed by Gillespie, Kidd and Coia in a modern twist on the Italian Romanesque style, it was built in 1937.
@techviator Hiya. Thank you. As an Average End User this kind of thing does bug me. Especially the slipping into Bing as default... I use the Crap Cleaner browser which is - AFAIK - a Google analogue (though they recommend a different search engine than Google..).
So hapless dicks like me - people who imagine computers are supposed to make life easier (hahahaha) - get caught out by/are suspicious off stuff like this.
Q: In your learned opinion, should I "accept permissions?"
The most ridiculous thing about cop procedural shows is when they ask where a person was, and what they were doing at a specific time the person always has perfect and immediate recall. I'd be desperately trying to remember what day of the week that was, and trying to open my phone calendar. If I was the cop, I'd immediately be suspicious of the person who remembered exactly where they were and what they were doing.
@RickiTarr Indeed so, in that they're part of the pervasive myth that The Police are a force for Good and there for Our Benefit. All evidence to the contrary, since the first guard strapped on a breastplate.
They are cop propaganda, designed to perpetuate the shite we are inculcated with in school. Filled with sympathetic protagonists and unsympathetic antagonists who, more and more these days, are us.
Except for Columbo I'd have everyone of them erased.
If humans are so smart, then why have we consistently throughout history put the worst people in positions of power? Why have we never learnt not to do that?
As part of a big clearout, I got rid of my trusty old rucksack. It’s battered, stained and has lost a few straps, so I don’t mourn its passing - but I do celebrate its life.
I can’t remember precisely how old it is but I recall taking it on a camp aged 15. Since then it’s been to uni with me, been on countless ferries and trains, crossed Europe to Kosovo and back in 1999, been my trusty steed on my big travels of 2001, and been there in the journeys of my first two books.
@simonvarwell Can relate. just dumped my 'Carlton' black shoulder bag that I bought at a stall in Stafford market in 1986. It had been everywhere with me and carried everything. The last few years it was too tatty to be a bag for best but had instead proved a stalwart work bag for when I've been volunteering outside or doing bits for other people.
Sadly the plastic lining around the zips had finally disintegrated and it was about to go to the Big Bag Stall in the sky.
What sickens me the most about SNP (Scottish Government) apologists is their posting/boosting of the atrocities in #Palestine at the hands of Israel, whilst at the very same time saying there's nothing ScotGov can do and how they must do as Westminster tells them.
The level of cognitive dissonance to hold these two things in their hearts and minds at the same time must be eating them like cancer.
These people would sleep comfortably on beds of kids corpses if THE PARTY said so.
I keep seeing people saying how they're supportive of #Palestine. The ONLY way I have SEEN them be "supportive" of Palestine is by saying "Israel, oh gosh, no, oh naughty, stop..." in a flat monotone. Whilst individually no doubt being on the phone to their brokers to shift all their money out of Raytheon and Elbit...
ScotGov has not expelled, nor openly divested from, any Israeli businesses, or businesses servicing Israel.
