milton75 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 People calling the Police to cry about the scary thunder noises sounds pretty much on-message and to form for the good people of Edinburgh. I didn't realise it happened in Fife too, but having been there I can believe they would be similarly frightened of sky-demons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest_Man#1 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 My Mrs said it was wild the noise it made, but was clearly thunder so phoning the police is mental. I slept right through it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torpar Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Love some thunder snow, happens here often in early and late winter. The snow that came down on Tuesday has all but melted here, leaving behind waterlogged grass and salt everywhere, it's amazing how many dog owners believe that if their dog shits in the snow they don't need pick it up and it will magically disappear. When the snow banks melt in March the pavements are usually covered in a beautiful mix of old dog shit, fag ends and Tim Hortons cups, hopefully next winter I'm not in this city anymore 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve started a support group for people affected by Thunder Snow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy dressed in bear suit with a cardboard tank pretending to shoot at one group of Fifers once caused calls to the police, so Fife has some previous.

I believe The Victims of Sammy The Tammy group is still going strong including those traumatised Rangers (Oldco) fans when he threw babies out of a pram or home and away fans traumatised by him sledging down the stairs of the Norrie McCathie Stand, some boy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not great, 99.9% of the shooting are 'targeted' so I'm not fearful of those but also it seems like 99.9% of the people here are selfish arseholes, it comes as no surprise that Toronto and neighbouring Peel Region are raging hotspots for Covid, there are weekly anti mask protests and recent massive Diwali parties which I'm sure didn't help. The transit system is also a joke for a major city. Still a decent place to visit as a tourist though I would say, and our winters are fairly tame compared to even Barrie an hour north of here 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
