I’ve used the Inverness to Thurso bus a couple of times & was thoroughly impressed. Reliable, clean, power points, fold-down tables & a/c at every seat, bike spaces, & a return ticket was less than half a Stagecoach single ticket!

Chan fhaod ach Digg fhèin coimhearsnachdan a stèidheachadh ri linn a' bheta, ach tha mi a' smaoineachadh air coimhearsnachd Gàidhlig a stèidheachadh nuair a bheireas iad an comas sin a dhèanamh ris a h-uile duine.

B’ e cleachdaiche Digg a bha mi o thùs agus cha robh Reddit a’ còrdadh rium a-riamh. Bha deagh phodcast (Diggnation) aca cuideachd agus iad air a thoirt air ais cuideachd.

Eadar 2004 ⁊ 2012 b’ e am prìomh cho-fharpaiseach aig Reddit a bh’ ann. Chaidh a reic an uairsin, dh’fhàg na co-stèidheadairean (Kevin Rose ⁊ Jay Adelson) ⁊ ghluais na cleachdaichean gu Reddit.

Got a new phone today and the esim transfer failed after being removed from the old phone. Speaking to O2 support and apparently the only way they can order me a new esim (or physical sim) is by confirming a 6-digit code that will be sent via sms to the sim I no longer have 🤦‍♂️

Cha chuala mi mu dheidhinn Ember roimhe, so mòran taing airson sgrìobhadh mun deidhinn. £8/16 (singilte/tilleadh) airson siubhal le Ember eadar Baile Dhubhthaich agus Inbhir Pheofharain seach an £17/23.40 a th’ ann le Stagecoach no £11.80/18.40 le Scotrail.
