It's probably because there generally isn't any.
The punchline to 80% of the "jokes" I heard growing up is a word I don't want to say so that I don't seem like a racist.
Nowadays if you attempt even a little bit of banter to someone, it's likely that you'll get an answer of "YE GOT A PROBLEM M8?" (roughly translated.)
Happened to me twice within the last month. Once because I noted to an adult man that a full-up buss at 14:00 isn't a karaoke and he shouldn't be listenint to his phone on full while singing drinking songs with all the kids and parents. He started to yell he'll kill me on the street and whatnot. I left the best as my stop came up. Went to buy a bevvie He came after me from the bus and stalked me lol.
The next dude was calmed but also asked me if I got a problem when I was on the side of the road filming birds and he just walked by?
I would rather live with wild wolves, no shit.
And I'm not a small guy or anything. I just don't trust these fuckers. Apparently yesterday there was a stabbing in my building again.
Do you live in Scotland? I only ask because it's a perfect description of Edinburgh buses. And there are an inexplicably large number of Finnish people in Edinburgh. Or were 15 to 20 years ago. Also there was a multiple stabbing at one of the places I lived there, and my next door neighbour had killed 3 people by cutting their throats. (Not a nice part of Edinburgh tbh, but by no means the worst)
All Scots are southerners to me.
But the cities are larger a bit. Glasgow is 3x the population of my city and only 50k people short from being as large as our capital.
Alcoholism and winter and people not taking their vitamin D.
Kevin Bridges has an excellent bit on Glasgow and the very things we're talking about. :D
Except Finns lack the friendly part
I wouldn't say I qualify as a southerner. I live further north than Inari.
Would you mind sharing where that would be?
Northernmost point – Out Stack (Oosta), Shetland at 60°51′N 0°52′W
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_points_of_Scotland
Inari is 68°.
Idk where you're getting those 8 degrees from? So where'd you live?
Those extreme points are the same for the whole of UK and for British Overseas Territories and Crown dependencies is on the Isle of Man.
By the data I can find, I live further north than any UK territory. I understand I can be wrong.
So... please elaborate.
Yeah, I moved away from Scotland almost 2 decades ago. I live in Northern Norway. I haven't seen the sun since November.
Well I hope you're happy to get me to agree to that, but I'd note that you probably did realise I meant "Scots" as in "anyone residing in Scotland" instead of "any Brits who may or may not have been born in Scotland but now have moved further north than would be possible if one still lived on Scotland"
Fair enough. Aurora for tax.
I live too close to a highway and in general further South so while it's been a great year for auroras, I've not seen shit as to see them properly I have to go some 10-20km out of the city and without a car I haven't really bothered.
Got to get me a van next year.
I'm somewhat jealous, I'll admit.
I haven't really seen it since the beginning of mørketid. It's been really cloudy until today. But it tends to be visible from within the city quite often. I might be without a car soon anyway. The eu control is coming up and last time it cost almost a whole months paycheck to fix the piece of shit.
