Gail Sheridan suspended over alleged theft of miniature bottles of alcohol

[MsHighwater]

here

Didn't see that coming!

i've not been to such places, scottish. only seen them on the train and from the car and like.

I would chore the whole plane!! But would leave behind the paper pillows that you get offered.....

AAARRGH! BANG BANG BANG GOES MY FECKING HEAD ON THE STUPID ARSEING FECKING KEYBOARD BOLLOCKINGSING SUHIOTE FUCKINITY DO DAHAAAARGH!

And then I realise my mistake of once again, hastily clicking on the thread next to yours in anger.....

mebbe te mini's wis aw she could fit doon her bra to evade the search. full bottle mad dawg bit conspicuous doon the bra

this reminds me of an evening times story (aye that reputable rag) about the woman who fainted in partick safeway, because the chunky chicken doon her jumper was frozen

I used to speed up a bit going through Feegie to get to Asda. Once came round a corner to discover a "roadblock" made of piled up snow! Turned round sharpish and went the long way round.

feegie!aye know it well

I'm not following you round, dont worry yourself.
I tend to steer clear of threads where you have posted. But on two threads now you have slagged off lots of Edinburgh communities becasue you think they are populated by scum and junkies.
I think you have gone too far with your comments.
You posting that rubbish about Dumbiedykes could not be left unchallenged and should not be left unchallenged by anyone who objects to such generalisations that affect public perceptions of whole communities.

Unless you think I shouldn't be standing up for my relatives of course....

Oh, no, stand up for your relatives, by all means.

Mine sure do. Just the now SIL was talking to me about that on IM because we're going back whilst DD1 is on holiday and she is SN and sometimes I worry about her.

But I've seen her two sons watching out for DD1, they would do. She is their cousin and they go to the Fort for school so they know how things work.

But I wouldn't recommend someone go in there, youknow, what doesn't even ken anyone and doesn't know what to do.

Public perceptions are there for a reason.

Yes, there are good folk there, we didn't bother anyone. We are good folk and we didn't bother folk.

DH wants to move back. But he knows who's got his back and where to go.

He wouldn't stay in areas where he didn't 'ken' anyone for a reason.

That's how it is.

So I don't see why you go calling me a snob and all that that is not true.

Or how it's slagging people off to say some bits you watch your back in.

Because you do even if you stay there.

And you're not digging on anyone else for speeding through certain areas or avoiding them or calling them scary.

Maybe because you don't know them?

Because they'd make Craigmillar look like Morningside, they places in Paisley and Greenock?

Yeah, I been through there and like scottishmummy says they're dead scary.

But still it's always me you call out. Why's that?

So Gail Sheridan chored some minis from a place?

WTF? She must be a lightweight, just choring minis.

well i grew up in a scheme, and cycling christ i most certainly do pass comment and laugh about it

kind off black humour. i don't generalise or assume preconceptions, but hey i am not so biscuit arsed that i cant laugh either

No shit, scottishmummy!

My girl was born in a scheme, too.

So?

Edinburgh schemes.

My boss came from a scheme in Greenock and she went to know end to tell me it was scary.

And I didn't believe her.

I thought she was exaggerating.

Then when I was having my miscarriage and I went by bus to Inverclyde holy FUCK I found out the hard way!

Oh, they blew Niddrie to shame.

I couldn't believe folk were living there.

I don't see how that's slagging that off.

ah but maybe expat it comes across worse because you're not a jock? you do seem to slag us off a lot... i know you love it really and your dh and kids are proud of it, but i wonder if that's it? i don't think youknowyouknow is being biscuit-arsed, fair enough she doesn't recognise the characterisation and is insulted.

but expat, there are plenty of lovely houses in greenock and paisley, good schools etc. seriously.

We laugh all the time, scottishmummy.

What else can you do?

I'm no snob for that.

That just makes me laugh so hard, 'Oh, you're a snob.'

LOL! PMSL!

If you only fucking knew!

But it isn't a good place to be sometimes and that's how it is.

Its not personal believe me...its just that no-one else speaks about Edinburgh people with such venom at such length, like you do on this site. Your comments are not humorous but sound very bitter and I am not sure you are smiling when you type them either.

Can I refer you to your self assessment on
eureka moment comments at 21.44 and 21.45 ?

i didn't say that youknowyouknow was biscuit (or any any edible sweetie) arsed i recognised that some areas have a notoriety- why worry. does not mean everyone is like that- does it

fwiw, scheme i lived in had a bad reputation - does not mean it was indicative of all residents.

oh dear, youknowyouknow, you just went and made it personal... i did my best.
i thought you had implied that ykyk was being biscuit-arsed, sm, sorry about that if not.

the biscuit-arse i was referring to was me, eg not about this particular issue

i can be a right biscuit arsed about lots of other stuff - Go on just ask me!

Anyway...

I didn't say she is biscuit-arsed, aitch.

I don't even know what that means.

And you know I respect youknowyouknow and you both. You know I have nothing but respect and liking for you and I mean that.

I don't mean any harm by it or for her, either. She may well be my SIL, for all I know, except I know she doesn't stay in my SIL's neighbourhood and my SIL has pay-as-you-go that we buy for her every month so I know it's not her.

I stayed a lot of places before Muirhouse.

I didn't care that we were there. Folk had our back and we didn't bother anyone.

But I don't see where it's slagging it off to tell English folk to avoid it if they don't know.

And folk taking offense because I'm not a Jock.

I understand.

You've heard my daughters speak. My girl sounds dead Scottish and people will say her Scottish is 'working class', whatever that means.

And I am so proud of her for that.

She is what she is and as she is proud of that it makes me proud, too.

So I don't see why someone could get so offended at telling someone to avoid some places if they don't know what it's like.

Especially someone who is coming to the city with so much loss behind her.

Oh god, so much to deal with and trying to start over and all I couldn't begin to imagine.

If you think I didn't make friends in Muirhouse, think again? Think I didn't help out, think again?

Think I don't miss my Leith, my girls' Leith, think again.

And then come back and tell me I'm slagging off the place my girl still cries for.

thanks aitch but I am quite capable of standing up for myself and my relatives when we are being called junkies because of where we live.

And my arse has a lot of chocolate on it....

So you think that's venomous and mean-spirited, youknow?

Going to call me out?

FFS, woman, if you don't think that's personal, think again.

Once on the flight from Glasgow to London(3 years ago) when I knew the flight attendant(been at school with her) she told us to hang back on leaving the plane. She gave us a bag filled with minatures a la gail. When we arrived at our destination we emptied the bag on the bed- there were 67 bottles!! Not including the wee cans of coke, tonic etc. And we then walked through all the security onto another BA flight carrying the poly bagful.
From chatting to others, I thought this was quite common practice. But agree, they're going to get him any way they can.

i know expat, i was just proferring an explanation, is all...
