AIBU to want to kiss Nicola Sturgeon?

OK, so a bit tongue in cheek.

Got a trip planned to Scotland end of July/ beginning of Aug. I've not had a holiday in 2 years and I have had to put this off twice due to Covid.

We are long in need of some fun. We have a lovely trip booked with loads of fun and are really looking forward to it.

Fingers crossed, NS has just said she sees Scotland being Level 0, near normal as of the beginning of June.

I've never liked her before, but by god, I want to lean across the table with tears in my eyes and give her a full-on kiss and say thanks Nic.

A bit dramatic but have a good time

mollypuss1 · 16/03/2021 16:37

Unless I’m reading it wrong, level 0 means travel from other parts of the UK is allowed for essential reasons only still. Where do you live?

JorisBonson · 16/03/2021 16:38

I'm Scottish living in London and haven't seen my family since Christmas 2019. I literally cannot wait to get back up the road.

I read that as you want to put your tongue in her cheek

Argghhh, don't tell me that.

Level 0 does seem to have its own special meaning up here!

chitofftheshovel · 16/03/2021 17:02

You want to kiss wee willie crankie?

peak2021 · 16/03/2021 17:02

I hope you never want to kiss Boris Johnson. The only thing I would like to do to him is watch him being taken to court and then to prison.

peak2021 · 16/03/2021 17:04

@chitofftheshovel please respect The Krankies and avoid comparisons with Nicola Sturgeon.

Easterbunnygettingready · 16/03/2021 17:05

Sounds fandabbydozy to me...

Gingerkittykat · 16/03/2021 17:05

I'm pretty sure the kiss will breach the 2 m rule! Grin

Nnameechanged · 16/03/2021 17:09

Not sure I'd want to kiss her but YANBU, she's great! Not at all jealous while being stuck in England with Boris and co. 😞

fizzandchips · 16/03/2021 17:25

What date did she say people from other parts of the UK would be allowed to visit Scotland. Desperate to see my mum.

JorisBonson · 16/03/2021 17:37

She's not yet @fizzandchips 😔

slashlover · 16/03/2021 18:07

Comparing the FM to the Krankies is quite pathetic.

mollypuss1 · 16/03/2021 18:43

@slashlover

Comparing the FM to the Krankies is quite pathetic.
Why?
RaspberryCoulis · 16/03/2021 18:55

Level 0 is not "normal".

I cannot stand the woman. She is keeping us locked up far longer, then releasing things a week before the Scottish elections. What a fucking coincidence.

EvilOnion · 16/03/2021 18:59

@mollypuss1 because her physical appearance has literally bugger all to do with her political stance/decision making.

It's a pathetic, playground tactic employed by the oh so edgy shit rag tabloids.

mollypuss1 · 16/03/2021 19:17

@EvilOnion fair enough, do you feel the same when the edgy shit rag tabloids pass comment on the appearance of other politicians?

EvilOnion · 16/03/2021 19:30

Yes... Because it's not relevant then either!

Women in particular seem to get this stuff levelled at them all the time. It needs to stop.

Misshapencha0s · 16/03/2021 19:34

don't worry she won't remember it anyway! 😂😂

Happytentoes · 16/03/2021 19:37

Bet in this house that there will be a reversal of that after the May election..

Invisimamma · 16/03/2021 19:48

Indeed it sounds like good news. Here's the official guidance for level 0 www.gov.scot/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-protection-levels/pages/protection-level-0/

You can travel just not into level 3 or 4 areas. Although social distancing should still in place.

selectabo · 17/03/2021 03:39

Op, What kind of fun staff are you booked for and were are you going to? I never been to Scotland so just curious..

TaraRhu · 17/03/2021 03:50

I would kiss anyone who opened hairdressers! Though the cynic in me thinks Nicola's u turn is more about deflection of bad press and securing votes....
