I sent an FOI, here is the result

I have not read it yet.

I am in England.

Let's assume a hydro dam is going to be built, there has to be a survey.

A firm of consultants is employed. If one of their employees is thorough, the firm may not get work in the future, assuming her report gets included in the final document.

Is this every firm, or has my friend who is thorough been unlucky, twice?

When adding flair, maybe I should have chosen the NSFW tab.

I needed a bottle to put water in for an outdoor task.

The only container I could find was an empty whisky bottle.

I started to rinse it at the sink, my plan was to fill it, them empty it.

Then I realised there would still be that wee drop of whisky in it, so I just filled the bottle and set off.

Best water bottle ever.

I repeated the process, but I think I put too much whisky in. (Still less than a teaspoon).

Second time around it was still good, but not the same. It was a different brand too.

So I want to know how much is left in a bottle to repeat the initial proportions, without drinking a bottle.

(I guess the way to do it would be to put some in an empty bottle, swill it around, drain what comes out. Why did I only think of an answer after the typing).

Anyway, how many ml at the end?

I do not understand what it wants to gain by being so shite, if it just reported the news I might even buy it again, like I used to. I would like all news sources to be neutral, but that is not going to happen. No one should be as horrid as below. This is how the Herald presented a piece by Mark Smith on Facebook. The piece is not as bad as the quoted section, but it is still poor.

During the lockdown my Dad, Geordie , (along with many of us) got a bit less agile than he was. He started cycling for fitness, aged 83.

At some point he set himself a target of 40,075 kilometres; 24,902 miles, the distance round the equator. He has only gone and done it.

Strava is such an excellent motivator.

At the finish line.

My Favourite post on the previous thread.

Thanks Strava

"Len Pennie keeps you up to date on what's happening in the arts and culture scene across Scotland."

Only she doesn't anymore. Every day I heard her show I wanted to go to one of the events she featured. I felt I had had a sip, and wanted the rest of the glass. What an ambassador for Scottish arts the Arts Mix was, and I'm not even cultured.

Today I turned my radio on anticipating her glottal stops.

Kylie fucking Minogue.

Some other radio 2 shit.

Stupid game guess the year.

GTF Radio Scotland.

The clue is in the name.

This was the greeting coming home from work six years ago.

Fair heckle?
