    House Sitting

    That does worry me but that is where the police checks come in and they should be more than basic. I would rather house sit for someone else first. There are loads of websites offering this service, I never knew it even existed at a national level and the dog sitter we originally considered is...

    House Sitting

    A couple of years ago we looked into getting a house sitter in to look after our 2 dogs instead of putting them into kennels but decided against it as the £40 charge per day was too high. On monday a couple from the Bristol area came into the cafe where I work and told me that since selling...

    Skye is bad for midge, a good tip is if your bitten even if you've got some repellant on is to apply more repellant over the bite, don't scratch it ffs

    The one good thing about the winter is no midges, they've got a real liking to my English blood yet ignore my Scottish wife!! We don't get that bad a winter, just get snow a couple of times a year but it is considerably colder than the tropical midlands

    Had our first snow this winter up here in Central Scotland & most of it is still around as it hasn't got much above freezing all day. Even the council got it right and gritted the roads last night, problem is another couple of cold days and they'll have run out as they have been gritting even...

    The Gigs Thread

    Yes it is in may. Somehow I managed to get 2 tickets as soon as they went on sale. It took me ages to get my brother's and only then when they added a new date whilst I was searching for tickets

    The Gigs Thread

    Got a couple of gigs coming up next year including Roger Waters, Evanescence & Peter Kay. My friend drives for NHS and in the past I have twice got him tickets for AC/DC as he has been at work when they have gone on sale. He is a bit of a technophobe too and doesn't have a pc/tablet, rarely...

    Boris Johnson

    Surely he was in prime position to become leader after we voted to leave the EU, seems to me that he bottled it and didn't want to negotiate us through the mess he had campaigned for, maybe he wan't convinced by his own campaigning and just wanted to give Cameron a bloody nose

    There was an Italian striker, maybe called something like Stefano Goicachina, who made a couple of substitute appearances and then like others disappeared without a trace

    20 years ago today since....

    I have to admit to being a bit unsure when we paid £2m for Dublin, an ex Cambridge forward who had been injured at Man Utd and hardly played for them. How wrong I was? He was our talisman and it is arguable that he was the best player we have had since I started watching us in 1973 in 2 positions

    Maybe it was a front for some dodgy Honduran off shore account that Richardson had?

    Martin Johansen

    Can't remember him. Googled him and he played 3 times in 1997, 2 as a sub and I was at 2 of those games. Must have been another quality Strachan signing
