  1. Exactly. Cromwell defeated the loyalist Scottish army at Dunbar.
  2. Use the bridge one way, but fork out for the Kylrhea ferry the other. It opens at Easter only if the weather is ok. The mainland drive from it is interesting too. If you like hillwalking, then Bla Bheinn is great. Would not recommend any Skye mountains for beginners though. I nearly ruined my day with the route I picked off it. The Sligachan hotel has 400 malts to try. The scenery in Trotternish is pretty unique. Dunno if any of these float your boat.
  3. Even the SFL XI selectors didn't have this problem. http://www.londonhearts.com/SFL/sea/all.html
  4. Ha! How we laugh(?) at American schoolchildren responding to nuclear sirens in the 50's, but wtf "the Queen(1)? Are we supposed to colour her in with Humbrol grey primer matt, or what?
  5. Big Ramy has set a seriously difficult or mibbe just awkward challenge here. Folk have to pick 1 player from one or more of their rivals and at least 2 from Accies/Dundee/St.Mirren. Aye ok, Ive not even attempted
  6. It's on the wife's bucket list to go to a game, so can't do away with her yet. How easy will it be to get 2020 Scotland-France tickets and when?
  7. Great tactic to give the Italians a confidence boost at the end, so they can better face our mutual opponents.
  8. JSBX - Soul Typecast... with Russell Simins on badminton racket & cardboard box
  9. Your list adds up for me. The SSC have a small error on that page though. Their date there is wrong, I believe... Since the table shows people on 22 points it must actually be up to date now, and include the 17th & 20th Nov games..
  10. Worked ok for me mid-afternoon today.
  11. I had an English teacher (I mean a teacher of that subject) who seemed to resent Burns being in the syllabus. Told us he was rotten, did Tam o' Shanter quickly, and that was it for my 5 years of secondary education. Going slightly off... had another who tried to explain to us scruff, the difference between speaking correctly and speaking 'proper', reminding me of the time I threw Enid Blyton in the bin (goboilyered). I knew what she meant, but she couldn't/wouldn't differentiate between Scots and slang. Scots has been so eroded such that I hardly understand it unless recited well.
  12. A nod to the Hamilton pub where I had my first pint o' heavy and my first malt: Go, fetch to me a pint o' wine, And fill it in a silver tassie; That I may drink before I go, A service to my bonie lassie. (My Bonie Mary.)
  13. Thanks. The price list below that is scary. Hopefully they are not individual ticket prices?
  14. ... and there are three Irish pubs close to one another on Hunsrückenstrasse and Mutter-Ey-Strasse.
  15. TAM_Pat gave me this link for an earlier question. It doesn't help with Red TV specifically though. https://www.fussballgucken.info/locations?finder_type=2&city=Düsseldorf&s=Suchen
  16. I can remember -20C once here in Erskine. Sent the kids out to build a snowman. They came in after 5 minutes greetin. Heartless bassa I am That was nothing to this time last year. Couldn't drive out our street for 2 weeks. I was reasonably happy not to have a heart attack shovelling the snow out. Yeah, I know it wasn't Canadian proportions, but a bit much for us rain sookers. The supermarket couldn't get anything in... Disaster. Folks were searching for babymilk compound to put in their cornflakes. I never saw bread for a week. You'd think it was 29th of March or something.
