BBC Scotland Sports (Rugby) headline:
"Why it would be no shock if Argentina stun Scotland"

But presumably if Argentina do stun Scotland then someone will have been shocked?

Recently i have been experiencing problems with Bluesky - freezing and loss of column headings. My only solution has been to uninstall the program and then re-install. Is there some setting i can change to prevent this becoming a recurring issue? Has anyoneelse had the same problem?

@talking-upscotland.bsky.social

BBC Scotland reporters must have been hot footing it to Liverpool and Douglas on Sunday with the news that one of the Isle of Man ferries sustained damage and passengers were injured during a crossing to Liverpool.
Fair takes the pressure off the Glen Sannox.

"Support The Guardian today with a one-off contribution or monthly from £4.00"

Aye, when The Guardian promotes democracy and the Scottish electorate being given a chance to have their say on independence in a referendum within the next 2 years.

Okay, @Bluesky, I've tried on more than once to raise this matter with you, without any form of reply or advice.
I don't want to see only one side of any debate.
"Reply to a blocked post":
"Blah, blah, blah"
I prefer to judge for myself what side of any debate I align with. Don't censor my timeline.

Trump may well want to see Scotland thrive, but I'm pretty certain that most Scots don't want a Scotland modelled on his world outlook.
I don't claim to speak for all Scots, just the ones with morals.

@theguardian.com
I buy your paper on a daily basis, but I'm constantly irked by the less than fulsome coverage you give to matters of all natures relating to Scotland. I'm regularly asked to give financial support but that won't happen until your coverage of Scottish issues improves significantly.

I took this shot on a visit to St Ives today, just because it amused me. 10 minutes later, one of these miserable f**ckers swooped down on me and stole my ice cream out of my hands. That most certainly did not amuse me.

We're going to the zoo, zoo, zoo, how about you, you,you?

What is that saying about mad dogs and English men? These guys are definitely staying out of the sun.😃

Okay, I've asked this question before but I didn't get any response. Why do I frequently see replies to posts that are blocked (not by me but presumably by the person replying)?
I'd rather see both sides of any issue and decide for myself if I feel a block is appropriate.

Storm Éowyn- once in a generation storm.
Now let me think, where have I heard that before.

Just finished this novel. Very interesting and well worth a read.

Fairly new to Bluesky and slow to find my way round things so looking for some input.
I keep coming across posts that are noted as "reply to a blocked post". I haven't blocked many users so it doesn't relate any action of mine.
I prefer to see both sides of a debate to make my own mind up. But how?

I despair, reading in The Guardian today that in a poll 21% of 18 - 45yo's agree that "the best system for running a country is a strong leader who doesn't have to bother about elections".
Read a history book, watch a news program. It doesn't take too much effort to see where that leads.

Down in the Glen as old Bing would sing, it's still "a most wonderful time of the year".

Should Scotland be an Independent Country? Please Repost

tidied away.🎶😃

Happy New Year one and all. Here's to better times and better politics.

Merry Christmas everyone. These are grim times around the world so enjoy yourself. Treat yourself, your family and you friends well.

@theguardian.com Perusing my copy of The Guardian today, I was amused to read of a couple of Highland cows being likened to a herd of Bison.
Eyewitness? Really?

As the Art World seems once again to have gone bananas I thought I'd offer my effort for consideration.
I'm calling this "Haggis, Neep and Tatties make the headlines".
I've got to cover my costs and make a profit, so any bids should start in excess of £20. But hurry before my wife makes our dinner.

Life isn't about politics, left or right.
Life is about decisions taken within reach of you.
We can't always look down south and moan.
Stand up, be Scottish, don't be anti- English, just don't be subservient.
The time is now, don't leave it too late.

This is the weather that Hielan Coo's are built for. Rather them than me though.🥶

I've seen this info heading a few posts now but I'm fairly sure I've not blocked that many , if any, punters yet.

Is there a way to read such posts if I choose to? Also, how can I check if I have blocked anyone?
