Shame about the numpties living in it.... well, most of them
Spent much of my childhood in the woods, and loved it at night... always felt safe.

Always thought Surrey was for the London suburban poshos... maybe you're the exception...

Mental Case. I see you've closed the report without comment, and he's still joking about it, so that was a waste of time, wasn't it.

It's a general principle, applied to a specific case.

We have a client who is Finnish, her two daughters love life in Finland, I doubt they would want to emigrate to the UK.

Most of you will probably have already seen this but watch it again anyway.

As of today, by Scottish law I need to be nice to everybody.

I’m not sure whether this means everybody Scottish, or everybody in general. I’m thinking, as the law has been introduced by the party responsible for wanting Independence, it only applies to Scots.

So here goes: Ae a Bonny An Giblean ye Albannaich. Otherwise, the rest of you can get fecked.

If I don’t respond to your collective well-wishes in return, I can be contacted via my new postal address: PO Box 99, HMP Barlinnie.

There was an old scottish fella lived down the road from my mates in the early 70s, I would go down after my work on t' farm for a few hours, we often cycled round the back of his house through a snicket to the playing fields which he didn't like us doing although it was a public right of way.
"Och aye ,ye com aroond ma bak agin I piss all over yoooo" he'd shout, we still say it to this day when we see each other some 50 yrs later.
I can be contacted at my flirty aunties house, she runs a pub.

It’s already been covered, in another thread with Ash from America. All Scots are poets.

And your Aunt Fanny. That’s a lovely area, I’m told.

Is it possible to have a simple poll, with just one simple question -

How many more times should Israel be able to play the 'Holocaust' card ?

No more.
1 more time.
Unlimited amount of times.

The topic is flooding. I was woken at 3am today by a gurgling sound from the bathroom, when I went to check what it was, I found grey/brown water gushing (and I mean, gushing) from my shower drain. The heavy rain has caused the sewage storm drain to overflow. This is the responsibility of Scottish Water apparently, who told me that persistent heavier than normal rainfall is the cause, and the system can’t cope anymore.

Thankfully it’s stopped raining and the sewage overflow is receding. Thank goodness I have a tiled floor and underfloor heating or I’d be looking at a massive repair claim, but the house stinks like Tommy Wass’s taproom on a Friday night. (That’ll sort the Loiners from the rest).

Global warming, I’m thinking. Where’s Greta Thunderthighs when you need her?

Any of our North American friends getting a good view of today’s eclipse ? Be good to see a few photos posted.
