Good book isn't it Jah? I only drank bourbon whiskeys before I read that


i 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

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?

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.

I'm with MP.


Americans are hysterical. As in disordered.


Their crazy take on a Cuban booking at a Scottish hotel not so long ago? An attempted boycott of Scottish firms.


More Islay malt and Talisker for us. Bring it on.

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

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"

Didn't quite a bit of funding for the IRA come from the States, namely those who claim to be 'Irish Americans', or is that just an urban myth?

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      By FellbriggSam · Posted

      He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.

      I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.

      I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.

      Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
