Scotland the brave


New Scottish Company ‘Nessla’ Unveils World’s First Vehicle Powered by Wind and Rain.
Move over Tesla, Scotland has just gone and invented its own monster.

A brand new Scottish car company called Nessla has launched its first ever vehicle, the Nessla Monster Truck, the world’s first off road vehicle powered entirely by wind and rain. Designed, built, and tested in the Highlands, the green scaled 4x4 is already being hailed as “a hybrid between genius and pure weather madness.”
According to engineers, the vehicle’s wide mouthed front design isn’t just for looks, it channels Highland gales directly through the opening, where a mini turbine generator spins as the car drives, converting wind power into electricity. The faster it goes, the more energy it creates. In other words, the wilder the weather, the better it runs.

Meanwhile, its sleek curved roofline, modelled after the legendary Loch Ness Monster, has been scientifically shaped to collect rainwater as it pours down the body, funnelling it into hidden hydroelectric compartments that create even more power. Every drop counts, making the Nessla the first car that charges faster in a storm than in a garage.
Nessla claims the system makes the vehicle completely self sustaining, with zero need to plug in or fuel up. It can power itself indefinitely, as long as Scotland keeps being Scotland.
Early testers have praised the performance, though one Highland driver admitted,
“Aye, it handles braw in the rain, but when the sun came oot for five minutes, I had tae park it and pray for drizzle.”

The Nessla Monster Truck goes on sale next spring, priced at £69,420 and available in two models, The Gale Force 1 and The Drizzle Deluxe.

I genuinely think it is dishonest to propagate these sorts of false stories. Sure they’re funny, but unfortunately plenty of people will believe them.

For everyone’s information this is NOT true like far too many stories on the internet these days. If only people made a point of making the satire and humorous nature more evident and obvious so people didn’t have tendency to believe it.

Making a joke is fine, but misleading people, even unintentionally, is a problem…

I thought the member of this forum would be able to detect that this was satire, without having to be told. (I could be wrong of course)

PS: I do agree that there are far too many false stories on the internet. Some even posted by people and institutions you have all right to believe is telling the truth.

Yes it is hard to keep up with what is real and what is not when you are getting older.
Some don`t even manage to keep track of what is right, wrong, fiction, or satair when they write it themselves.

Trying really hard to not comment on men who will fight each other because they have different coloured frocks on.

Strange lot the Jockenese

Another reminisce

Working for a predominantly Jockenese company out of Leith.

We were in the Caspian on NYE.

Now I am sure you all know that NYE belongs to the Jocks and there is always some grown man in a skirt playing the porridge guns .

So after a particularly difficult rig move we got back into port.

Passed me over a sheet of paper and said “learn that”

It was the second and third verses of Flower of Scotland.

So after Edwards army had been sent homeward to think again, myself and Richard piped up with the second verse and there was a whole load of goldfish mining along.

When we did the third verse I think we had made our point :winking_face_with_tongue:
