re Clarkson's Farm .... I watched it and it was pretty harrowing (as the title suggests). I watched Countryfile last night and two young farmers were shown with still born lambs. They knew their stuff but it does still happen. If you are saying Clarkson's Farm was setup to ensure that happened, I ca...

Bloody superb sir !!

Just putting options on the table sir.....well not really an options as the aliens would probably not bother with this.

Perhaps just send in Thunderchild.

Would it not just be better for Aliens to come down and wipe both sides out and submerge the area under water so nobody can use it?

They both believe the land is theirs and neither will give it up.

Just sink the place.

Just to finish this off - I found an Em-1x for £400 used. delivered today. It was listed as 'heavy wear' but to be honest it looks about the same as every camera I've had for more than a fortnight. Shutter count through the roof so presume it was used by a pro who has upped to new OM-1- it's both m...

He is giving a statement at noon today. Could be about what he is having for lunch I suppose. Probably not.

Even The National say he is thinking of going .... so he must be going.
So after Nicoliar and Useless, who next? Perhaps Kate Forbes ... might be good to some sternness from the Wee Frees.

Same went for Chris Patterson - one missed tackle. Was a pretty good defender in general, as well as superb elsewhere.

Doesn't apply to me as I no longer burn wood but just use coal on mine!!

I watched first episode of A Gentleman in Moscow. A really superb book and the TV show seems to be quiet near it.

I judged a South Wales Photographic Competition several years ago. As my "fee" they sent me a bottle of Welsh Whiskey. It is at the back of the cupboard along with some Irish Whiskey I was given. I suspect they are nice drinks but they can stay there alongside the Grappa and the (now depar...

Excellent news !!

Anybody got some tips for Cheltenham?
Somebody on the other board used to know somebody who knew somebody .... and his tips were good.

Just wondered or will I be

again.

Good call !!

Very similar story. My daughter swam and was in regional and sometimes Scottish setup. Most mornings, some nights .. sometimes both on the same day. Huge amount of time and dedication. She got straight A's, went to Edinburgh Uni and got 1st class in Maths. She told me she also got Valedictorian but ...

He put in some kicks over the top.

You should try Kings Acre's pay and play membership. Course is maturing nicely and if they improve the condition a bit more it could be a really top track as it is brutally tight with huge undulating greens ".... brutally tight with huge undulating greens." .... Perhaps not. Huge wide fai...

Just reading some of this and it brings back so many memories. As a 16 year old, I played off 16 which was a good standard I suppose When I started working, the company I worked for, the MD was also President of SGU. Partly as a result of this, our work social golf club got to play many of the cours...

With the Super6 teams and their players needing to be re-integrated back into the club game, Scottish Rugby have issued a working document into how this will be done. Lots of options ranging from putting all S6 teams into Premiership to even having some Nat 3. Will need to sit down in a darkened roo...

Hearts lost 5-0 to Rangers* yesterday. Which actually gave me a good feeling about the rugby, because Hearts and Scotland hardly ever win on the same day. (I was actually anal enough to cross-reference dates over a few decades once, and this really is true, though it may reflect that both teams hav...

Such a great film with so many references to other films.

"get the bags .." .....

We have spent a lot of time in the car recently and listen to much radio. My wife is pretty non-political and does not really engage with me in much meaningful political discussion. She is far more intelligent than me (PhD, etc) but it is not her thing. She said to me yesterday, after listening to s...

The Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition is on loan at the National Museum of Scotland until May. Might want to check what's on the splash page, given some of the cracking photos on this thread. https://www.nms.ac.uk/exhibitions-events/exhibitions/national-museum-of-scotland/wildlife-photog...

Great work

Ah ... only ones in captivity.

As for Torq, well if Finn has a bad day in the land of the leek eaters, I am sure we will here about, Frequently !!

Do you mean the mad bugger in the Black Isle or the one on this bored?

You probably have no idea just how much I hate you right now. Especially with the Leopard. I've been living in this country for 52 years and spent an enormous amount of time in game parks, and not 1 photo of a leopard. I've never had even one opportunity, not even with a 600mm f/4 lens and 2x conve...

Good video of Mongolian landscapes .... the early morning shots with the long lens were superb. I was in Glencoe in Scotland 2 weeks ago helping a friend on a workshop and we got some really nice colours for sunrise and sunset. Picking out the pinks on the tops of the hills. A great time to be outsi...

I keep getting my posts in the Gruinad newspaper site ... removed by admin as they are against their "rules". Today I posted about the miners strike and how I had crossed the picket lines. As a 19 year old I had gone to London to find work and got a job at a local council pushing papers ab...

It wasn't even the best try he scored that day. https://youtu.be/WuaIROJWCEs?t=743 For the first I stood open mouthed in disbelief at him thundering through.

Crivens ... all gone swimming well. Breakfast champers, stiff mid morning Bloody Mary's (with sherry), Cranberry fizz cocktail things and wine uncorked and ready. Bob Ross drawing game (superb) completed with huge amount of joyness. For first time in 25 years having a great day ... we moved overseas...

Just about to go and collect the lad from the pub. Can then tuck into some nibbles and drinks and get ready for the big day of compulsory fun and goodwill.

I know there was some Scottish games last night and although I am not a big football fan ( I used to go and watch Hearts play every week and w...
