Please can we have a Scottish MN section - Mawsnet, mebbe?

[StayingSamVimesGirl]

Following on from discussion on another thread - could we have a Scottish section, please?

The local information is good, but it is too local to apply to the whole of Scotland, if you see what I mean.

pineapple crush but that could have been Bon accord as they came on different days and we got both

Oh my god red kola is amazing not had it in years allpine also did iron brew was rank

See Justine's response the other day highlighted exactly why we need a Scottish section...No bloody bank holiday Mondays! ;) Great idea as others have pointed out -schooling different, house buying process different and of course we need to discuss the Bon Accord lorry! (I was pineapple crush or limeade type of girl)

was Bon-accord/alpine just a Scottish thing?

Sanja cola! AndRadioactive coloured orangeade!

Just saw on the other thread that we are definitely getting a Scottish thread - hurrah!!! www.mumsnet.com/Talk/site_stuff/a2346839-So-MNHQ-are-we-getting-a-Scottish-section-or-not?msgid=53651089#53651089

So what are we calling it then??

OK ladies/quines/lassies, hold up your right hands.

'I promise to always visit the Scottish MN section and to comment on something anything every so often and not just go to AIBU and ignore it like most of the other threads
so we won't seem like a bunch of whingers but interested and committed MNers'

Shouldn't we be swearing on a Broon's annual or similar??

Hurrah!
I really have been restraining myself from offering venacular advice eg
'No' is a complete sentence - and so is 'get tae fuck!'

I'll swear on Rab C's simmit...

I'm in even though the site keeps kicking me out.
My flaky weather app says sleet for tomorrow. Gotta love our weather!

Tomorrow, hell! I am getting sleet right this very minute as I read this page in the west end of Glasgow!

My mom left at 4 this morning, back to the states., so the weather turned out lovely while she was here! She minded ds last night while we went out to dinner, and dh got tickets way up at the top of the Hydro for Sting & Paul Simon. Mom brought my potted plants in off the windowsill as I had done last weekend when it was still chill, but not the last few days. Thank goodness she did. The wind, with sleet, is blowing hard enough I thought the planters had blown down! But no, they are on the laminate in the kitchen where the drips wont do so much damage.

I couldnt sleep between outpr getting in, and wanting to be sure to get up with her. Then couldntt go back to sleep. So, since yesterday 7 A.M. i have walked 9k, shopping with mom, taking ds to park, and then to dinner and concert with dh, there was much singing and dancing at the concert, and then I was up all night.

An American friend who lives in Ireland has come to Glasgow for the weekend with her roomate. Wants to meet for coffee this afternoon. i hate to not go. i also hate to get dressed and go.

Oh, and the cat threw up a hairball on my duvet.

Sleet and wind have gone by though.

I was out last night straight from a long day at work, then off out to buy birthday presents then a quick visit to the parentals.
I now plan to lazily supervise the laundry and eat cake.
Yes, hail too here earlier. Planned to clear out the inside of my shit tip on wheels but it's too rainy. Oh well...

Solemnly swearing &c.

This weather is wacko. 17C yesterday and hail today.

solemnly swearing here.

Bloody freezing the day

I swear to do my very bestest for scotsnet and ignore aibu until some eejit gets on my nerves

I just swear. A lot.

As long as it's not called Mawsnet/Alba Net/anything tartan and shortbreed then I'm easy. Scots Net? Mumsnet Scotland? Anything along those lines is fine by me

Another solemn swear...

Agree about the weather. It is absolutely Baltic today. DD, of course, has insisted in wearing her sandals so I suspect she may return with rather cold toes.

Here it is, the new Scotsnet topic, lang may yer lum reek*

*Disclaimer - I just googled Scottish phrases, I apologies in advance for any cultural insensitivity!

Enjoy . If there are any existing threads that you think should be in the new topic, please do report them to us and we'll move them across

Thought I would post this here for more local traffic. Hope she is found soon.

I know - awful news

I hope to god she is safe but it doesn't look good

There is thread in the news section now. Just thought I would link here to catch the most traffic.

It's really not looking good. Her poor family.
