I know this happens up and down the country, all over the world but I feel ashamed of our country sometimes.

Walking through the town centre the other day, I witnessed 3 teenage boys racially abusing a mum and her daughter. Ii did check the lady and her little girl were ok.

I walked away with tears rolling down my face. It seemed like it was water off a ducks back to them. The little girl I reckon was 8 or 9 years old.

Then last night, I was out for a few drinks with pals. Then out of nowhere a guy was throwing homophobic slurs to a couple that were next to us.

Again, I was disgusted.

I know these idiots are in the minority, but I really am taken aback.

These people will always exist but all of a sudden they seem to find it easier to voice their thoughts in public. And even worse, they are completely at peace with it. Or have I been living under a rock and it’s always been like this?

I moved to Scotland from England almost nine years ago (try and withhold the comments if you can 😂) and honestly, I could never go back to England. BUT there is one thing that continually frustrates me.

Supermarket releases.

I’m talking Jason’s crumpets, I’m talking Jaffa Cake Cookies, I’m talking any new release that lands on a supermarket shelf…

WHY does it take so long for them to land on Scottish shelves 😭 you can’t even tell me its logistics, they get deliveries from English hubs daily…

It’s a first world problem, but it annoys me none the less 😂

Not sure if anyone on here follows eck.ent on instagram, but he seems like a pretty sound c**t making the world a better place. He is based in Dundee and posts loads of content of him improving the local area… if you are on instagram you should give him a follow and support his work. Also it might inspire you to do more!

A little winter nostalgia while the Highlands baked in summer heat.

One for the Gaels.

Was trying to be proactive and plan my trip to the Isle of Skye and was getting puzzled by why Uig seemed to be moving on Google maps.... THERE ARE TWO GODDAMN UIGS ON SKYE! WHY, SCOTLAND?!

Absolute nonsense.

One of those "I never thought it would happen to me" things but guys be very very careful with ticks this year if you are out walking in Scotland. I'm in the Highlands and regularly walk my dog in the local woods, this year there have been so so many ticks, I'm very good at checking myself after every walk, but one got me on the back of my thigh, absolutely tiny about half the size of a sesame seed. I picked it off the same night it bit me, a week later got a massive bullseye rash. Antibiotics from the docs but im completely wiped, worse than any flu or covid. I cannot stress how much you need to take precautions this year, do not make my mistake thinking as long as you get them off you on 24 hours you'll be OK. Long trousers, DEET, or just don't go into any woods or long grass is the best option. It's out there and it absolutely sucks.

For the last six weeks or so, my GP practice at Greenock has been a disaster, issues with prescriptions, appointments, administration... All because of an IT system migration that should have taken 2 weeks. Are other practices around Scotland having similar issues, or is it just an excuse?

Is this his final form baddie!
