Is @Scribd a scam? I cancelled a free subscription back in spring 2023 and have not logged in since then, yet I've just discovered I've been charged £10.99 a month.

@AndyWoodturner @dgreig12 1960s batcave level labelling. props!!

@flipdrivel Some kind of paving slab. I may not have the exact petri-taxonomy but it is certainly slatier in-person than it appear’s in this pic. 😋

@CookeLouise I did the exact same after listening and before hearing the news!! Hoping for the best for him.

@Madrigirls @fronteirastl Buchanan's Falkirk song may be more original than the above. Worth checking if it has any relation to Gavin Greig/Scott Skinner's "The Dear Auld Ha".

[Neil McDermott @NeilMcDermott59]

@Madrigirls @fronteirastl These songs were perhaps all parodies of one another to an extent but were earnest enough in expression. They may have started to the tune of Kenmuir’s on an awa but developed their own tunes.

@Hampden_School Congratulations @Hampden_School!!

@Thechessboxer @RaggedTP I mean I presume I’m preaching to the choir here. Quite why one group has a monopoly on “Semitic” has never been clear to me.

[Neil McDermott @NeilMcDermott59]

@Thechessboxer @RaggedTP “Semitic” as a term relates to linguistics. Of all the Semitic languages Arabic is by far the largest (geographical spread & speaker base), even more so if you count Egyptian and Levantine Arabic. Then there’s Amharic, Aramaic & Hebrew. Israel isa tiny part of the Semitic world.

[Neil McDermott @NeilMcDermott59]

I’ll be talking at this event about “The Ballads and Songs of Carrick” a @scottishbktrust project I edited for this year’s @GirvanFolkFest.

I might even be singing a song or two (yikes!).

[Girvan Folk Festival @GirvanFolkFest]

Did we mention Ballads at Ballantrae?

A day of events for all the family taking place as part of @BookWeekScot feat. amazing performances from @RobynStapleton, Jo Miller, Chris Miles, @DavieAMusic + others.

@MORRISGEOFFREY @JustinBaileyart @BylineTimes @danevanswrites I don’t like the sound of homophonic alligators.

@AilsaBoyd @GovanhillGo 👆🏻THIS. The bigger issue is that we live in a city where wholesale destruction of our built heritage by commercial interests is commonplace. I’m reluctant to blame individuals for what is a wider issue but couldn’t this business have gone in to ANY other (non-iconic) unit?!?!??
