Something to lighten the mood

The modern Scot has gone soft!

It's no joke! 😉

If this winter's wild haggis cull is hampered by extreme weather, we crofters may be in danger of starving to death!

Rice and beans..... tax the stink out of them!
And broccolli too!

Beans is a staple of my new and improved life saving diet. I've eaten them twice a day for over a year. Broccoli is on my short list too. And it all gets cooked in a fire hot chili garlic sauce.

I could be in serious trouble come tax time. I hope they haven't been surreptitiously monitoring my flatulence.

Nothing prevents Europe from sourcing gas from Qatar.

Um, the whole struggle over Ukraine has been about who gets to sell oil and natural gas to Europe. This is a 15 year old situation. While Uncle Sam and NATO had been negotiating a pipeline, Putin just built one and won that game.

It has nothing to do with who has what facilities or who has oil. It's 100% about power and influence.

I just read the article about the fart tax. Thinking about how farmers are going to do this certainly made me chuckle.

"In July this year, when the proposal first came to light, it was said that by 2025, all farms in the country would be required to track and manage their greenhouse gas emissions"

I've heard a few jokes about monitoring farts for greenhouse gasses. I have to admit I'm surprised that a gubment would actually implement this as policy. And manage the emissions? Will they feed the cows Beano?

Yes, I'll have another serving of broccoli thank you.

quite a lot of research into the internet of bovines and devices cows can swallow that monitor the condition of their digestive systems and report back to allow farmers to modify diets.

somewhere I'll try and find the funny stories related to dealing with Bloat in cows.
