Yes, things have being going downhill of late. You can't even spark up a good, old-fashioned, common-or-garden argument anymore :001:

Apparently he is only the 3ed person recorded ever to have been killed by a stingray. I thought it'd have been a croc that would have got him eventually.

Steve Irwin. A sad loss. But had it coming. Discuss...

Any particular brand of ecology? I've worked in the area of stream ecology for a number of years. More than I care to remember actually. SEPA are increasingly looking for folk with those sort of skills...

I've got a cast iron aliby just in case anyone starts asking questions... :001:

I was going to say classic memories from my school years but that might not have been taken in the way it was meant :001: But that song brought much purile humour in my latter days at Culloden Academy. The guy that sings it used to be on That's Life didn't he?

I had no idea. It makes sense now with their police links... :015:

You may know my cousins rather than my uncle. The MacInnes's?

I'm going to see Tool play on Sept 2nd! :001: Not much help but I thought you'd like to know anyway. :001: My uncle lives in Carrbridge. He can play the spoons.... :015:

You should definately come visit the Golden State again. It's been really hot here in the Sac Valley though with temps up to 115F and 12 consecutive days >100. :010: Not so bad now though, in the low to mid 90s. I'd be more than happy to meet for a pint in Edinburgh Castle assuming I'm strill here. I return home in October at least for a few months. Just in time for the Scottish winter! :007:

Fair enough but she hates my guts :001:

Johnboy: my only interaction with Mee to date has given me no evidence that she behaves like a lady. She's certainly not been very lady-like to me. But my initial post was jokey (hence the :004:). You take things awful seriously - that ganja's making you paranoid old boy :003:

When Mee learns to act as a lady then you may have a point. What cantbeatus said...

No, it is indeed not polite or manly to refer to a lady as a tit. But cantbeatus was speaking to Mee... :004:

:003:

...he's giving Henman a bit of a doing right now :015:

Chrome Johnson - Queen Bee Johnny Cash - The Wreck Of Old '97 Ernest Tubb - Thanks A Lot Junior Brown - You Didn't Have To Go All The Way Heading off into real red-neck territory today so thought some classic country was in order...

I'm not familiar enough with Florida gun law to comment on it. I'm not sure why it bothers you so much given that you live 1000s of miles from the US. Let them worry about it. There's not much gun crime in the Highlands (the low population has some influence on this) which is indeed one reason why I think it's a great place to stay. But I was speaking about the UK. And gun crime doesn't have much to do with slow drivers on the A82 so maybe we should get off the topic!

Sounds like a plan to me... But seriously, is that what you really think the US is like?! :010: If so, maybe you should broaden your experiences a bit. And too much weed makes you paranoid apparently :001: Willie told me that :015: Well..... Is it not the case in California one can legally carry a firearm around with them? And is it not the case in the state of Florida, one can legally kill someone with a firearm, if they feel threatened? Don't know about Florida but in California you cannot carry a firearm with you. You can, however, in Arizona, as long as it's carried outside your clothes! The Wild West you might say but they have one of the lowest rates of gun crime in the US! The UK is not short of gun-related incidents these days either though, is it?

Sounds like a plan to me... But seriously, is that what you really think the US is like?! :010: If so, maybe you should broaden your experiences a bit. And too much weed makes you paranoid apparently :001: Willie told me that :015:

Are you not legally obliged to pull over and let traffic past if you have more than 5 cars behind you? That's certainly the law in California and I think the UK too. If it isn't, it should be...

Chrome Johnson - 'That's No Way To Get Along'

I think it's meant to be a humourous comment on the Bush administration...

Yes, it's really reasonable to base such a theory on the first game of the season :015: We've pretty much the same team as last season (strengthened if anything) and other teams are weaker. More anti-Highland nonsense :008: ICT tend to start the season very weakly anyway...

Bebo is the work of the Devil...
