A nice set Mike. I like 2 for it's sense of scale, but 4 and 5 are my favourites.

What a pug ugly boat though .

At Oban distillery they suggested a drop of water in the free sample for the non whisky drinkers. My husband drank his neat of course. I tried it with water, since I don't like neat whisky, and still didn't like it. So he drank that too.
I had to drive home that day .

He likes Irish Whiskey as well as whisky, but doesn't like Bourbon and similar. Far too coarse he says. I used to like Southern Comfort but can't stand it now.

I'm more of a vodka girl. Preferably Polish, and I used to drink it neat. I have lost the habit now though, and in fact rarely drink spirits any more.

This thread in in danger of having a point .

Enough about MXs and the like

Or do you mean something like this?

In which case I haven't seen any either - only glass or plastic covers.

It means the same as TTT (to the top). It bumps a post back up the list so people will spot it.

It exists in Dutch too. Though it often becomes Nedlish - a mixture of the two languages .


I know George is busy with his boat, and I see he has logged in recently, but is not posting even when he logs on. I miss him.

George was always a stickler for correct grammar and spelling. He would enjoy this thread, and correct a few others where lens is misspelt.

He seems to only be lurking nowadays, after some heated discussions here.

And there I was thinking it was Stephen King's Christine .
Read the book not seen the movie.

I like the photo.
My brother had one for a while as a spotty yoof. It had severe tinworm though .

My husband got into b&w photography for a while, and went the whole hog, developing it himself. The fad didn't last but we still have all the gear cluttering up the place. Might put it on the net for sale one of these years and see what we can get for it.

No idea what Stefan is on about either .

I send texts but not in txt spk. I spell it all out. But then so do my
kids. Even they get annoyed by their cousin, the aforementioned niece.

I text when travelling just to keep in touch with the kids, since it's cheaper than phoning.

I used to text my brothers too, but we Skype mostly now I have persuaded them to use it.

Actually looking at Stefan's message again I do understand it. Cheeky young whipper-snapper!
