This comment is scathing:

“No one seriously expects Yousaf to last beyond the next general election,” added another. “In ordinary times the role would have been a challenge for him, but in extraordinary times such as this he lacks the depth and skill required to navigate a path through.”

I keep looking at various alcohol things with violet in. I'd love to try them. But I'm scared I'd like them!

I've eaten four packets of Parma Violets since taking that photo. That's your fault that is.

He really has won a flaming turd in a paper bag, hasn’t he? 😂

And now I'm taking over the thread, I bought a shit load of pansies for some new to me planters today. I shall take a pic tomorrow when I've put them in the planters.

Fun fact, it's literally all I got from my birth father who died recently. So I've joked they are now heirlooms.

Shouldnt that be heirblooms?

I'll get my coat.

How is it homophobic to talk about lavender arrangements?

surely it is a thing that stems from homophobia? And as Scotland is, the SNP proudly tells us, inclusive in every way then the need for such agreements has gone?

I just don’t understand the need for people to live like that so many years after equal marriage and everything. Or the comment that it’s homophobic.

Do you run a sweet shop Boiled? That's an extraordinary sweetie collection for personal use. 😁

Am I the only one who thought Nicola Sturgeon would live in a large house behind security gates rather than just a very nice suburban detached?

You are not the only one; there's a whole article on it!

I was (still am) quite baffled by the fact that they live somewhere so humdrum. Also, what about security?

From Thatcher to Miliband: the nation is obsessed with politicians’ houses

A hot topic of the raid on the former SNP leader’s house was her modern pad. It tells us a lot about our country — and its politicians

I’ve got a big bag of spogs on the go (the blue and pink bobbly ones from liquorice allsorts).

The best and only sweets. Did not know they were called spogs!

This is what happens when you only allow children one of things on special occasions!. They turn into hoarding adults

I'm not surprised at their house. It's not like they've got loads of extra can just lying around under the bed or something is it!

Go back a few posts is it that one?

Rainbowshit · 08/04/2023 22:03

@Boiledbeetle no it's the one that's titled Neighbours watched Nicola Sturgeon house raid like Line of Duty episode

That I'm looking for.

SirSamVimesCityWatch · 08/04/2023 22:12

Thank you. I owe you a bag of er... spogs?! Genuinely never knew the were called that!

Imagine being one of ND neighbours while all that was going on?!?!

Did any of you see John Legend say that NS looked like Jimmy Krankie on Jonathan Ross?! 🤭

EmotionalSupportHyena · 08/04/2023 22:26

Surely The Krankies are due a cancelling for transphobia?

I was just reading that. Love the bit where it says it was delivered by two men in Jan 2021. Makes it sounds so dodgy rather than a perfectly normal way to deliver a vehicle. 😂😂

EpicChaos · 08/04/2023 23:02

@EmotionalSupportHyena I haven't seen any spogs for ages, i used to buy them for someone if i saw them but they've been missing from shelves for ages, so would be interested to know where you got yours from please?

Another fan of the parmas here, lovely flavour but remembered yesterday about those perfumed sweets you used to get from the chemist years ago, they were luvverly too.

EpicChaos · 08/04/2023 23:05

@EmotionalSupportHyena Oh i dunno, it never occurred to me that swingers might be a bit choosy about who/what they do their swinging with. Transfabidozy!

Oh I loved those sweets from the chemist too! Gutted they don't make them any more. floral cachous I think?

Is a huge campervan the sort of learner vehicle NA might be having lessons in? Or is her 92 year old mother in law a keen camper?

ThatsGenderwang · 09/04/2023 00:02

That £110,000 figure that the camper-van is worth, according to the Mail, who seem to be enjoying stressing this immensely, is - in a complete co-incidence, obviously - amusingly close to the amount of money that Mr Murrell lent to the SNP and was then paid back in installments (or something).

I'm no accountant but I'd be having a wee look at that.
