Looking for online friends

I'm sorry if my english is bad, i don't talk frequently with people from other countrys (media make me fearful of talking with others country people due to a lot of racism issues involving my origin country)

My name is Arthur, but y'all can call me Michael (it's my second name), i'm 17M, i'm from Brazil, i love to talk and make friends from other countrys but i have few ones, i love Scotland people and one of the principal motives of making this post is because i want to learn more about people from there, and more about the culture/costumes

From what i know about myself, i like to talk, read some shor fantasy books, play a lot of games (but im really bad at online ones) and know a lot about media and history, i don't care where are you from, what is your religion, what is your age, sexuality or what race your are, i just want to make new friends to talk about some memes and stuff

Our rural dream is under threat from a huge battery storage plant

> "The objection is not just nimbyism, it's huge and out of place in this rural landscape."

Reform UK postage fees scam

Yesterday I got a wee card through the door from the Royal Mail, telling me that someone had posted me something, hadn't paid postage, and that there was a fee to pay.

I duly paid the fee and the letter was delivered this morning.

It's a Reform election communication.

If you get one of these cards in the next month don't fall for it - just let the posties return-to-sender.

I'm fucking fuming.

A9 drivers

Absolutely raging with the selfish knob jockeys on the A9 who sit in the outside lane on the dual carriageway holding every other fucker back! The police should be doing these folk for their selfishness as they are causing frustration which in turn causes speeding and overtaking

Arrrrrggggghhhhhhhh

My Scottish friend wants to know if anyone else said “the game’s up the pole”?

So my Scottish friend is saying that when playing hide and seek they’d say “come out come out whenever you are” and when the game was given up they’d follow it up with “the game’s up the pole”. He’s looked it up on google but can’t find anything at all like it.

He’s 68 if that helps.

Scotland - Received a parking ticket for parking in a disabled spot despite blue badge displayed, appeal with evidence denied

Hi,

So I parked in a free to use Euro Car Park in a disabled spot, I had my blue badge displayed on the dash as required, but when I came back from dinner I had received a ticket for parking without displaying a valid blue badge.

I appealed to them, and provided an image of my car parked with the blue badge displayed, as well as a scan of both sides of my blue badge. Three weeks later and I've been told the appeal has been denied and that the ticket was valid in its reason. I am so confused, I don't understand.

It says I can appeal to POPLA but is it worth doing this? Will the result be the same but a higher fine as Euro Car Park says going through POPLA, I lose access to the discounted fee.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you.

What big pointy mountain am I looking at? Arrow is the direction it's in

It's pretty far away and I can only see the tip

I'm not round this way often btw so don't judge me if it's something obvious like Schehallion or that (I don't think it is?)
