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?

      4+ Assessment Advice for Parents

      By Lord Pencilton · Posted

      It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️

      GALA 2026

      By kiera · Posted

      Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.

      So dangerous!    Can you be more specific about the road this was in and when you report it?  Maybe there’s some CCTV footage available
