Yes it's got an IQ of 150.....how did you know?

Edit: no jokes about using a dictaphone please

Supplanted by the dictakeyboard by TVC's post.

Right, the ponciness level of this thread has reached epic proportions, think it's time for me to move to pastures new, maybe one of Accy's comedy troll threads

I might even try one on cycling

Never fear I'm having 'Toad In The Hole' for dinner, OK they might be 'Free Range' eggs and it might be 'Organic' milk and the sausages may have some 'Wild Boar' in them but the recipe is the same and I will be serving it on plates.

OK so the beans may be an organically grown 'stringless' variety that I've just picked out of the Garden too but the 'Maris Piper' for the roasties came from the Co-op,

Quiet day of food shopping in the morning

Was going to start work on the new build, but then Leigh v Hull KR distracted me from my task

The council have published a retort on the Visit Moffat facebook page, regarding the sheep race cancellation

The plot thickens

Your levels of concentration must be quite worrying if you are so easily distracted.

I went to Edinburgh today, whilst the Festival is on. It's the first time I think I have ever gone to Edinburgh whilst it's on and not been there for work purposes, which usually involves me pushing past people on the way to or from a meeting. And I enjoyed it. It was a lot of fun. Younger Marmionette and I stood and watched a few street performers, and visited the 2 Harry Potter shops for a browse, which seemed to thrill her. We then met Mrs M, who had been doing a bit of shopping, for some pizza at Vittorias on the Bridge which was most delicious, followed by more street performers. I then went and browsed some rather splendid tweed suits, with a view to a future purchase, and resisted buying more hats.

I now has beer

This afternoon, just as I was about to finish gardening and start preparing something to eat, and relax, there was a ssshhhwwwwwoooooshhh sound. I looked up, expecting to see an aircraft high up, but it was a glider very low down, trying to land somewhere. I watched as he made a fairly bumpy landing, about half a mile away in the field. So instead of making a pot of tea, I walked hurriedly towards the plane, to make sure the pilot was alright.

It may have only been a mile, but along a rough uneven track downhill and back up again, was very tiring after a day's gardening. I was joined by another lady who had seen the plane circling around, and we gave him the postcode of where he was. He really wanted the map reference, but I do not know that, off the top of my head.

The crop in the back field is being harvested, just had a huge combine only about 15 yards from the back window, brilliant sight. I love the ever changing view of the British countryside.

This nobber was very good, we stood and listened for a while; he even chuckled when I muttered "do you ken any ACDC?"

Did you visit Waverley Station? I gather that it's the only station named after a character of Walter Scott. I also gather you're the only CC member named after a Scott character.

Surely there is a CC member called Harold the Dauntless.
