Gail Sheridan suspended over alleged theft of miniature bottles of alcohol

[MsHighwater]

here

Didn't see that coming!

that's what my pal used to do with us, princessfiona. it seemed to be totally standard practice.

BULLSHIT, youknow!

How dare you fucking say I spoke with venom towards my own daughters and the only people who called me their own when it all went to shit out here and everything went wrong and I lost my bairn!

People who came from jack shit and the Inch and wouldn't live in Craigmillar for all it's worth!

My own FIL is half-traveller, ffs.

They felt fear when we lived in Muirhouse and our car got turned over and burnt by people!

How dare you fucking say that makes me hateful!

Those are my husband from Royston and my kids from Muirhouse and Leith you're talking about!

You made it personal, so so be it!

I don't want a poor woman who's gone through TONS of losses of her bairns and ectopic pregnancies and worry and sadness to move from ENGLAND and have to deal with the potential of shite neighbours!

I want her to have a fucking GOOD experience¬!

She deserves that!

She helped me when I lost my child.

She deserves the best.

So I warned her off certain areas and somehow that's a personal affront on you?

GEt a grip!

my friend worked at make up counter - pocketed all the goodies- hell i would.all hosties i know purloin a few bottles -why not!its a demanding job dealing with public

Do you know how many children that lady has lost?

And did you notice I was not the only one who stated those things and yet you still single me out?

WHAT is your problem, exactly?

I lived there.

I wouldn't recommend it to someone who didn't know any differnet and had all those losses to deal with on top because you don't know who you'll get for neighbours.

That's how it is.

So you see it as a slight on you personally?

FGS!

I'm off for a fag I'm so pissed off.

Fuckin' hell.

Just phoned SIL's partner from Broomie, and his two sisters are still there.

'Aye, EIS, I wouldn't recommend it.'

oh i see, did this have something to do with lissie's thread? i didn't see it. she's a sweetheart. calma te, expat, calma te, you're getting upset now, don't take it to heart.

I also think that many cabin crew are likely to liberate some of the merchandise from time to time and, while stealing is stealing, on the scale of crimes it's not exactly right up there with terrorism, mass murder or playing Katy Melua records(just so wrong!)

BUT, if my dh was under investigation by the constabulary - especially if we maybe thought they were looking for anything on which to "get" us - I do think I might have taken steps to dispose of the contraband.

I've got a friend who was a cleaner on airplanes.
She said that pocketing miniatures was considered most heinous crime of all and that they were frisked every time they got back to the terminal.

It's weird that Sheridan thing.
God and how humiliating to be finished off by a teeny tiny bottle of Malibu.

What was it that Richard (of R &J fame( allegedly pocketed? Sometihng ludicrous like a bottle of fabric softener?

She's a top lady, aitch. She helped me when I was so low I didn't think it could get lower.

I am not mean or hateful.

I like her, I like people.

But I want her to have a top time here. I want her to have the best. I want her to love it so much, maybe she stays. Scotland could do with people like her.

She's been through enough.

But it's the luck of the draw in some places.

And if luck isn't on your side, or if it is at first and then it isn't, that's not good and it certainly isn't what someone who's lost so many bairns deserves.

So I - and others - said to avoid if they could.

But somehow that makes me snobby and hateful

Yeah, okay.

But I can't say it doesn't piss me off!

Because that is my husband. That is my little girl. That is my ILs, the people who stepped up and owned me!

Aw, fuck!

I cried when I lost my bairn. I called my MIL, who stays in an HA house in a former council estate they bought - they've been a legal secretary and a dockman in Leith and FIL still works as a cleaner and groundskeeper despite his diabetes and heart disease.

I said, 'I feel so alone. I long for my people. I'm so alone!'

And she wrote me a card I'll keep till the day I die and then pass on to my girls.

About how I was their people now.

And my SIL, you couldn't get more a 'schemer' if that's what you want to call it, bullshit, she's a woman with two boys who makes the best of it!

'You're our sister now.'

You know my husband and girl they'd be happier back East than here?

Did you know that?

Fecking paradise and they pine for Embra?

Then someone goes and tells me I'm hateful and spiteful towards the place.

Then people tell me I'm mean.

After I went and married the man first time round to save his life and did all I could.

Yeah, come tell me I'm cold-hearted and snobby and mean!

BULLSHIT!

did they, sweetheart? was this all on the other thread? i didn't see it. all i've seen youknow refer to was where you jokingly referred to yourself as an evil bitch on the other thread about gifts, and i assumed that her reference to it was at least in part a joke. don't take this to heart, really, don't. she's just sticking up for her people same way as you stick up for yours.

I know, aitch.

I say I'm an evil bitch.

Oh, read your messages, I like to think, maybe I'm not?

I don't know.

Maybe I'm just bad.

I hope maybe I did one redeeming thing that wasn't.

I just don't want someone to go what through I did, on top of all they've lost.

It's not fair.

They deserve something other.

I wish I could give that to them. I'd do anything for that!

No one should have to lose like that.

But it's hit or miss in some places.

I don't regret living where we did. No way.

But we begged, stole and borrowed to get away from there.

And it wasn't because of the poverty.

It was because of the lack of hope.

The feeling that that was it, so just deal.

Oh, bullshit!

That's NOT just it, and you have so much fucking more to give!

But it's not the easy option.

you're not an evil bitch, you were joking. i think at least in part so was she. this has got wildly out of hand, sweetheart, i'm sure it will be sorted out tomorrow and handshakes proferred.

i hope so, aitch.

i didn't mean bad.

and i need to quit saying hell and damn.

just today, we were trying to find the ruins of Carrick castle.

and dd1 she said, 'that damn loch is high, ain't it?'

oh, it was high, and no one would help you, on the single tracked road. DH had to back up into the caravan park, to let the Rover go by, and the man didn't so much as wave.

what's up with that? but we'll go on waving, such 'snobs' as we are.

'i don't like this place,' said DD1.

'you dunnae ken this place, bairn, so you wheest, bairn,' said DH.

it's closed just now, Carrick.

i got out of the car.

'excuse me, sir, are visitors allowed?'

you are right, aitch, what price a little courtesy, and i'd never the other, though i will argue for that other side.

there is none.

but i want someone, i want someone who has had much loss, i want her and hers to know nothing but good.

i want her and hers maybe to stay, if they like, for all, the weather is cold but the heart is warm.

i have found a hard way here.

the women i have found so hard. much harder even then MIL and SIL.

i say, it is so because it had to be.

and then i have found, the molten heart. the heart like yours.

i do not mean to be unkind or hard or mean.

maybe that is why i have gotten on so well, these past 7 years, because i was akin.

but i don't want to be mean.

i was not that way.

i am sorry for others who have seen me like that.

and i hope they can see, as i have, and forgive, and we move on.

and you, too, youknowyouknow.

that woman who moves up here, her heart is so broken.

maybe you can help?

you see, i just want her to have nothign but good neigbhours.

i want her to know something different.
