Guy on my bus (in construction uniform, he's local) in Edinburgh just made a call. This was his opening gambit/greeting: "Hi ya wee fatty, ya wee fucka!"
Then went on to explain he's just riding the buses to give himself a little bus tour of the city because he's bored.

I liked much of "Welcome to Derry" but the final 1-2 episodes had too much "get x, take it to y, insert it in z, eat v, find p" stuff that involved a lot of running and shooting, losing my interest quite a bit. Still, enjoyed it over all and recommend if you're into "It"

I've had a cough for 3-4 weeks, I was almost rid of it but my plane ride seems to have made it 10X worse, whereby it's waking me regularly at night. Go away please, cough.
Seems to be common in the UK at the moment though, I hear a lot of people coughing.
