Statts Just in case you hadn't notice Berwick upon Tweed is still on the English side of the border. I would also bet that someone who was brought up to think munching a faggot, sucking on trotters and slurping jellied eels is the way to go does not really have the gastronomic skills to appreciate a...

At yours later Dean please can you put my name on a couple of the Jok pies ... love lamb. DM You must be rich. When I was a lad (hovis music playing) lamb was only for Royalty and those that had servants in the basement. The rest of us had to do with the meat from auld rams who could not get it up ...

That would be "Onion" in Jokenese .. and claiming that highland scotch pies are the same as Lowland .. which we now know is folly .. it appears from my investigations each tartan clan has their own recipe for Scotch pies .. with the strangest being in Abroath (where ever that is) .. where they actu...

^ Neeps an' tatties... that's yer lot. Tams not too far off. I still remember the French guys on bicycles roaming about selling strings of onions brought over from France. Onion Johnnies they used to called. Onions were an expensive luxury back in the late 50's/early 60's. Tam and DR only started p...

When I was young my mother used to put all the left overs into a pie dish and bake her own pies but there was one of the traditional family owned bakers (the ones where the bakers worked through the night and fresh morning rolls etc which were available throughout the night and deliveries started ar...

What is a "letter of support" from the UK Embassy? I was under the impression that the UK Embassy no longer issued anything to do with visa or extension of stay applications. First time ever seen this requirement.

Just watch this, 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBC-nXj3Ng4' and then make up your mind about Bit Coin and all the other cryptocurrencies in existence. Basically confirming that the people with a really big computer could bring the whole thing down (while making a shed full of money).

So who decided, and what rule was used to decide 21 million coins was the maximum. As DR says PONZI in capitals.

I own 0.17849822 bitcoin. Not a big believer, but figured what the heck. Some say it will go to 1 million per "coin" due to eroding trust in central banks as well as unsustainable government finances and the resulting dilution of fiat money. If companies start moving into Bitcoin en masse then perh...

Totally agree. Have a few dead phones lying about and the non rechargeable batteries that we should dispose of responsibly have nowhere to go. Some of the bigger stores (Big C, Tops) could have a bin that people could chuck the waste into. Someone must have a recycle plant somewhere. More toxic than...

^ You're beginning to sound like my Auntie Doris who, on her annual pilgrimage to the clan cave, always insisted that she came from Corstorphine and not Edinburgh.

Would that be the lady who always wore a fur coat but sans scanties at the ironing table. Wondered where your fixation came from.

Wake me up in about 10 days and I'll poke me nose outta the duvet to check ......... serious question. Why do, lets face it, not very cold temps here, feel so much colder? A) Because our body is use to the warm B) Because there are no bloomin' carpets in every room and we walk about with no shoes/s...
