It was a lovely day and they are a lovely couple.
Venus transits the sun next week, apparently, and it won't happen again for another two hundred years or so.
I came home from work yesterday to find the council had dug a section of the road up to resurface.
I thought......that's funny, no notice given 
I got in the front door to find a notice on the doormat saying.....on Thursday 31st May we will be digging your road up, please move your car (words to that effect). Stable door....horse bolted? 
What about the Peetar
Equal rights for women
Paulo Nutini representing Scotland at the Olympic Games concert. What`s he gonnae sing aboot - new shoes?
It should have been The Proclaimers!

And Scotland`s finest tae belt it oot and get them aw goin`!
I`m writing in.
I just googled 'muchty - some maddie's got a website up
I love The Proclaimers.. but I love Paolo too - he'll do for me.
Local radio were saying last week though that we should enter Eurovision in our own right.. have the Proclaimers and Calvin Harris collaborating on a song. Sounded like a right good plan to me.
Do we join the Euro though...?

Can`t find it....
Link to the maddie please
Tell me that's not class
It`s basic.
I had a better view of East Lomond from Glenrothes
Bless her.

And to me Kaffy. What a team they`d make. 
I`m not keen on Paulo but that`s not got anything to do with him why I`m against him being chosen. I would have felt the same if it had been anyone else other than The Proclaimers. Brilliant, rousing songs with a Scottish flavour... that everyone can sing along to. Perfect. They would have brought the hoose doon.

I know it's not a big deal, but has anyone else noticed the difference in how the 'Recent Topics' work?

Just a small difference, before when you clicked on a 'Recent Topic' you were taken to the start of the thread, now when you click on one you are taken to the last post in that thread.

Yep - the Proclaimers sort of epitomise Scotland - they really stir up a good old sing along sort of stuff!

Thanks Fluffy.
Remember what Eleanor Roosevelt said..."No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."
I like that

Exactly, Soozy! I`m sooo disappointed, I keep going on about it. Even although he agrees, son No. 2 is now telling me to put a sock in it.

tbf - the stereophonics don't exactly scream 'Wales' to me either, not Duran Duran, 'England' I do think of Ireland when I hear Snow Patrol, but they're not exactly Riverdance (thankfully) Scottish Italian chip shops are very Scottish though.

Now see - I do think of Wales re Sterephonics but really don't see Ireland for Snow Patrol (I didn't even know they were Irish)
Funny how differently we all see it.

I actually think half of Snow Patrol are Scottish Sooz.. there's a sor of ongoing are they Scottish or Irish thing going on. I do know the Stereophonics are Welsh and I suppose i think of that - I just don't see them as being 'traditionally' Welsh if you know what I mean - not in the same way as The Proclaimers are so obviously Scottish singing in their own accents etc. I know what I mean even if I'm not explaining it very well
Same for the English band - to me The Stones or The Who or even Oasis are more 'English' than Duran Duran.

Chas and Dave?
Good call, Soozy!
Lol but true
I always get nosebleeds at the start of summer.
ALFIE BOE ON THE LOTTERY SHOW
*swoons*
I've just read elsewhere somebody stating (during a discussion about being a vegan) "I'm semi vegan, but I eat fish for protein and I love lamb". They weren't even kidding and took offense when it was pointed out that never mind being semi vegan they weren't even vegetarian

Lol
Life is full of contradictions
Ha Cinds ... I've had my middle child visit this weekend ... she's a strict vegetarian, which we can deal with easily (thank Gawd for Quorn), but this weekend she announces that shes going vegan. My response?
That's fine whilst you live with your arty farty friends in London luv, but when you come home in the summer you eat what you're given or you buy your own.
She thinks she might put off being vegan till she goes back to uni in September
Muf I meant to say, I love the pic up there ^^
Rexi, great response.
Right I'm off to bed, up early for a hike around Kielder water in the morning, come rain or shine. Lunch somewhere on the way home then in to town tomorrow night. Have fun
