    From the QoSTV website: " we are experiencing output issues from the ground. please bear with us if you see some buffering for a few seconds. just let it come back automatical "

    It's not you. And the commentators are rubbish as well.

    The Yankee Pier at Alness. I had been looking further along at Invergordon and Nigg Bay.

    Well done! Despite it being so close to home, I don't think I had ever been there before last week.

    I had a mini-tour of Scotland last week - Falkirk (sister-in-law about to move home), Aberdeen (funeral), Inverness (see my Mum), Falkirk again, then home to Snorbens. Souvenir of my trip? A dose of good old Scottish covid. Ah well, it seemed for the last while to be inevitable. Of all the locations mentioned, the one below is closest to Sneck. I don't think that there are any obvious clues...

    Aye, but in the background this time, not the foreground

    The ruins of the cotton mill at Spinningdale. I never knew until now why that place is called that!
  8. snorbens_caleyman
    My first thought was that someone had built a ruin at the end of Munlochy Bay

    During the first half PPV commentary, Ross T noted that Cammy's ball distribution has been excellent in the games that he has played. So that's two of us who think that We now have the problem of keeping two first-team quality keepers happy and motivated!

    As long as you pronounce it "neece". It is not the same word Wikipedia: "1929 editions of the Hull Daily Mail carried an advertisement for Huntley & Palmers Nice Biscuits using the phrase "Delightful as the town after which they are named", indicating that by this point their manufacturers intended the public to associate the biscuit with the French city, whether or not that had been the intended pronunciation."

    Where are you all? Celebrating? A great win today. A good performance from everyone from Cammy Mackay forwards. Great saves by Cammy himself. Weathered the storm after we went 1-0 up, and Yogi ruffled up his team. An inspired substitution - I too would have taken Mckay off. He wasn't happy, but it was good to see him join in the celebrations when Samuels scored. Who's next?
  12. snorbens_caleyman
    Agreed. Some good football being played and some great chances created. Dunfermline playing pretty well, too, though, and I wonder what Yogi has seen and what changes in tactics he might make for the second half.

    Clearly, someone was educated at the same time that I was, in the 60s to mid-70s. It was hammered into us that we should never use any form of the verb "get". If one found oneself about to do so, then one should seek an alternative. "Nice" was another word which we also had to avoid. (Written in my bestest English, as they learned us.)

    Nothing to do with the Dalmore at Alness! From the map, there seems to be an area just south of Auldearn called Dalmore. There's a Dalmore Farmhouse, and also Auldearn Antiques in Dalmore Manse. The parish of Auldearn and Dalmore joined up with St Ninians in Nairn a couple of years ago, and is now known as "Nairn: St Ninian's l/w Auldearn & Dalmore" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Church_of_Scotland_parishes#Presbytery_of_Inverness
  15. snorbens_caleyman
    Yup, but there are quite a few references to it as Auldearn & Dalmore.

    Give me an 'A' and a 'D'

    There is no location information on the gravestones, but Eileen Vanora Dawson is a pretty unique name
  18. snorbens_caleyman
    "Eileen Vanora Dawson" is a massive clue

    I've always enjoyed the Raith commentators - no matter what they call us - although it wasn't the usual second man today. One of them before the match said "The ref today is one of my favourites, Colin Steven. And if you detected any sarcasm in that, it was purely intentional!".

    If you read a few of the articles on the club's website, you'll find that it's what WE think we are called
  21. snorbens_caleyman
    Take my advice. Never, ever try to pick a winner BTW, you are Mark Ridgers' Dad, and I claim my five pounds.
  22. snorbens_caleyman
    Wish I'd been watching Wales v Italy instead

    Stunning picture, but I have no idea

    Used to end up at that church sometimes when we were having a run in the car. Probably quite a few of my mothers' ancestral relatives buried there, not to mention clan chiefs. My wife traced my mother's family. Earliest records for her father's side have them in the Moidart peninsula. Then they gradually moved eastwards, eventually coming up both sides of Loch Ness, with my great-grandfather being married in the Abbey at Fort Augustus not long after it opened. A couple of years ago my wife had us traipsing round the burial ground at Boleskine, looking in vain for a specific grave, and we also visited Drumtemple, where we were in luck. What's Mantis got against McGillivrays?
