Fear 'n boozin Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I have about 10 days leave left, but get more in October. Could take maybe three weeks off if I give enough notice - will that do. I can drive, but imagine I'd rather not! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/7682-scotland/page/2/#findComment-240978 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanMacGabhann Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Good book isn't it Jah? I only drank bourbon whiskeys before I read thati did a 10 day road trip in Scotland a few years back - one of my favourite holidays that was - right through the midlands. By the time I got to Oban I felt I had reached Gotham City we had been so isolated Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/7682-scotland/page/2/#findComment-240981 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jah Lush Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 A very enjoyable read Sean. And I'd really like to do that kind of road trip. I've a couple of friends who lives on the Isle Of Skye that I've been meaning to visit for a while so would like to take that in as well. I've got a few weeks owing too so let's do it.

RosieH Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Keef man, if you're going to Scotland, it's WHISKY - no e, that's fighting talk that is.I'm torn about Scotland: it gave me pneumonia but it also gave me fine single malts, and it is kind of beautiful. I'm very excited about this book though - Sean my dear, you got a copy going for a lend?

bigbadwolf Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 That's exactly the sort of shabby Jock tactic I've come to expect from a tarten turd such as yourself Ted. I find it disturbingly ironic that Holyrood see's it fit to release a terrorist but wont release a beautiful and majestic animal such as a wolf into it's remote wilderness.It's a pity as I'd quite like to read about grouchy, inbred crofters being bitten by a Wolf.

SeanMacGabhann Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I think I passed my copy on ages ago Rosie - soz. Looks like Jah has it covered tho...It's not ALL whisky drinking with Banks - he manages to get a fair few curries down his neck as well Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/7682-scotland/page/2/#findComment-241004 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosieH Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Yeah, Jah's the man. Thanks though.All the ingredients for a perfect evening - whisky, curry and Iain Banks.

They're all a bunch of uncouth, knuckle dragging barbarians! I bet Iain 'Menzies' Banks even shovels indian food into his toothless gob using his bare hands.

bigbadwolf Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 This is an all too distant relic of what we should've done when Thatcher was in charge.

Sunlover00 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Scots are comparable to women. When they are good, they are very very good. When they are pissed off, stay the ?$*$ away from them. If you're a Scottish gal (like myself) then we're double lucky because we get away with twice as much. :o) Otherwise we'll just give you a 'glasgae' kiss Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/7682-scotland/page/2/#findComment-241077 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring it on.Not to mention that their so called 'boycotts' are pretty lame, with the whole 'freedom fries' thing they didn't actually stop eating them, just renamed them. What did they seriously expect the French to do? Say "sacre bleu, the Americans have stopped calling their fried chips 'French Fries', we don't actually make them in France or get any money for the name 'French Fry' but we better bow to their demands and fall to our knees to kiss their feet" Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/7682-scotland/page/2/#findComment-241345 Share on other sites More sharing options...
