Re: Celebrity locals.

We spotted Jarvis Cocker In Morrisons once. Lives nearby apparently and was very tall, wore a sheepskin jacket and drove a P38 Range Rover.
Nobody else of note.
Unfortunately there's Edwina Curry in the next village and I saw her daughter on Sunday when walking the dog.

Re: Can you get….

So far, Jobbo is the most sensible - just change the handle to a knob. Aside from the obvious peni5 joke, changing the door handle from a lever to a turned knob didn't make any difference in our house - our black lab just wraps his mouth round the doorknob and turns his head. Hey presto! door open....

Re: HM ERII

I think everyone, monarchist or no, will be very sad to see someone who has been a symbol of permanence move on. has always remained dignified, even when her own family members have been arseholes. She's like a global Grandma figure. Definitely. There is an interview with Danny Boyle on Graham Nort...

Re: Flipping my seat belt buckle... Possible MOT failure?

Take it to the garage that does your MOT testing duties. Ask them if it would pass. If it's a no then rectify, if yes then whoopy dooooooooooooo ? :)

Failing that ask on Facebook as that is where all the worlds intelligent folk lurk :lol:

Re: Where would you live?

As long as I dont have to work then it'd be 6 months in a big hoose in Arnamurchan; then the balance would be travelling between the current place (High Peak) and somewhere sunny. That's all i want.

The view out the window while posting.
Looks stunning! Congrats on the new job/lifestyle too. Islay is a place I'd never really thought about visiting as we generally either go straight past on the way to Ardnamurchan or further north. Must add it to the detour list now.

That sounds painful. And, definitely, fingers crossed. Cheers. Went round with the "kids" last night to show them their new home. We spoke with the vendors about moving ASAP and we're all in agreement to get shifting. They've put a deposit down on a new build and are ordering fittings etc...
