The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

Well thank you KT. I have been watching for a while and it seems such a pleasant thread where everyone looks out for each other it was time I introduced myself and perhaps added a little U.K. experience. It does though mean I don’t necessarily understand all that is said. Then again I don’t understand half of what the Scots say either! LOL.
We'll interpret for you! Just let us know what you don't understand. 🥰
 
I have heard it from just abt everyone of the female persuasion on this thread I think.

Let me be clear: i don’t have any time or patience for this kind of horseshit or people like that.

I would suggest putting him on ignore, reporting him and if that doesn’t work, we’ll run his ass right the fuck outta town. (Aka offa this thread)

I will say it right here and right now @lanceGibs , if you are stalking or harassing people here, you ain’t welcome.

This bar might be divey but I won’t put up with that bullshit.

I have added a fourth rule - the asshole rule:

No politics
No religion
No drama
No harassment/stalking

Now back to our regular programming…
You're the man, Wonderer! 🥰🥰
 
I could pretty much listen to Scottish accents all day. Male or female!

Never been, but want to.
I once had an elderly Scottish gentleman speak to me for at least half an hour and I had no idea what he was saying, all I could do was to smile and laugh whenever he did so. He was speaking English, or at least he thought he was.
 
It's all relative. My house is 1965 whereas the local castle was built 1400s after the earlier wooden one was abandoned. The cross in a local church is older being Anglo Saxon.

People walked our continents for thousands of years but left little or no material structures. Most of the older stuff here owes its origins to defence or religion or both. I just marvel, at the craftsmanship of those times when I visit churches and cathedrals in particular. Anyone familiar with my photographs will testify to this.
Many Americans have little understanding or interest in Native cultures that existed here way before European settlers came. Of course, history is written by the conquerors, isn't it?

It was one of the things we explored when we visited Canada last year. The history of native peoples is something that fascinates me wherever we are in the world. like to pick up books, particularly about folklore. I have some for N America and New Zealand.

Yes I am much the same sometimes. My view is certain Scots should come with sub titles!😂.strong Glaswegian accents are hardest but the soft, island ones are wonderful. Then there is there language and words for things….dreich, sook, etc.
 
Even a 1789 building! I’m sure they were using string levels and using mules and horses and pulley’s to hoist the stone.

I have a laser level and the four walls of this building are dead-on fucking balls straight. Even thru the baby earthquake we had a few weeks ago.
And the Amish still build buildings this way!

I have no problem understanding most Scots. There was a Scottish lady who worked in accounts at a company I was with long ago. I just loved her accent, she was a good deal older than me, but I thought she was just the sexiest thing in the world, so pretty, full bodied without being fat, real peaches and cream complexion, she had it all.
 
Yep, my avatar isn't me, either. Well, it is Me, but it's not a piccie of me proper.


We still have few folks at work. We did have the monthly safety inspection. I got to walk with her. She's all kinds of charmed now, but we're still getting a write-up. Good thing is, she's a contractor to help us not get raped by OSH.


Can't decide on supper, but I am getting hungry.


Someone snuck over to the PB earlier today. :ROFLMAO: :nana:
What was for dinner, Wat?
 
Thanks for all the advice, but I've been doing so much and taking so many pills and supplements all week and it's only got worse, it seems to be uphrading now to more than just a cold, so I have called work to say I'm not coming in, and I'll phone the doctors rooms for an appointment as soon as they open.
There's not that much they can give you for viruses. Maybe antivirals, but it might be too late for them. Have to let it run its course. If you have a superimposed bacterial infection, that can be treated with antibiotics.
