Boris and Cambridge Analytica

not a scouser then SirC? lol

It’s much more interesting though.

It really, really isn't, you know.

In your opinion, you know.

Not to you MaizieD ( obviously.)

Does The Bank Of Scotland serve drinks now SirC ?
What a wonderful idea, hope it catches on here( I was just going to get some cash out, but am happy to stay for a rhubarb gin.)??

If the Bank of Scotland serves drinks, I am going to change who I bank with pronto ??????

Can you imagine?! I’d definitely move there too! Their profits would sky rocket with everyone signing up for loans after one too many gins and in years to come it will be known as the GGI (great gin insurance) scandal with banks having to repay missold policies ?????????

Shall we return to CA and big data?

No I am enjoying this more.......life’s to short. I am finding myself less interested in politics by the day!!!!

Oh me too - I feel utterly fed up and dragged down by the whole thing. I don’t remember politics ever being such an integral part of our lives or so divisive - or maybe it was and I just didn’t notice so much I blame social media - everyone seems to be so angry all the time

not a scouser then SirC? lol

Why would you think that Jura ?

No - from Kent jura

Is the och sound pronounced by Scousers?

Quizqueen I was going to point out to you again that it is not just 'lefties' who dislike and distrust Johnson, and many 'righties' voted to remain, but then I realised that I will never convince you of this, so I will leave you to fantasise over JRM ( is their an emoticon for a little bit of sick?) as I mix myself a Scottish G & T, a fine locally distilled one. Cambridge Analytica will never penetrate my gin fuddled mind, maybe that is the answer?

jura you say ‘ there is no Loch Lomond anywhere’
Quite right, well spotted.
It was made up by Andy Stewart in The White Heather Club
In 1960. Since then it has amused many locals as they observe tourists milling around trying to find it ( as well as the bonny banks.)
Incidentally, my DH had a nasty accident in the trossachs once, it put him off horse riding for life.

There’s no Loch Lomond?!

Loch Lomond is wonderful - but nowhere near the mystical Loch Lomand!

Yes, Sir C. - scousers do intend pronounce 'ck' as a grating 'ch with an 'r'' - very similar to Swiss German too lol.

indeed ...

Took me a while to get used to it when I moved up here and learning how to say the och bit rather than ock
If you find saying och difficult you should try living in Wales SirChenjin
By the time you've tried pronouncing some of the Welsh words on the road signs and searched for the English translation, you could have gone into the car in front!

Oh I could imagine Callistemon!

I'll always remember the day I heard a very strong Scouse accent. Dovedale, Peak District. Our girls had clambered up rocks to a cave, and a teenager was shouting from the top 'I'm stoch on a roch and I wanna get bach' - again and again.

Two young women kept shouting back she could do it. And I asked them what she was shouting 'I'm stuck on a rock and I want to get back' ... they were social workers from Liverpool who had taken a couple of girls away from a childrens' home for the week-end. An ear opener for me and my girls and friends.

We get it Jura really we do. You dont like Boris. You dont want Brexit. Are you just letting off steam or do you think that this constant posting on the same topics will in some way alter things?

Ooh that’s brilliant jura2! Is there one on the shadow cabinet as well? ‘I see you Seamus Milne....

‘Flaming frabric falls on our screaming children ‘

Good grief, how dramatic can one be ?

At least jura posted in paragraphs!

We are facing a possible economic disaster and lead now by an egomaniac. Why shouldn’t we protest and dissect his ability and character at every opportunity?
