If I'm to vote on leaving the European Union I want to know the new deal the European Union has with the UK before I vote on it. That is most reasonable. Fixed that for ya

Cousin works for a company that build furniture. Sometimes they would deliver sofas etc they had just made. On more than one occassion they knocked the door only to be offered by the new householder that if they gave them x amount they could just keep it and sell it on.

And i was me thinking the strange smell was me! On the flip side you can get some chancers when it comes to adults. One self referred asking for help for toys but after a quick Facebook check she had posted in October that she had so many toys bought for Christmas that she was struggling to find places to hide them. Another was claiming she was struggling financially to pay for everything and not just Christmas..a bit of financial support from a project we got to help her revealed she had an income of £700 a week!

It is kids that really buy into the whole part about other kids missing out. You did a good thing. While I posted what we did due to context of the forum we try to focus any publicity on the people who are giving rather than the project workers running it. Although there was a day spent outside Tesco dressed as Santa when a wee girl said she wanted a wee brother for Christmas. Mum shat herself...I said Santa did not think he was able to promise that as so many children missing out abut I did offer mum on the quiet to come back later if she wanted to discuss it with Santa...thankfully she got the joke.

I help run a Christmas toy appeal for kids in care and kinship care which this year had 870 kids referred to us so me and the other half do not give each others presents we just make a donation to it. But before anybody thinks I am holier than thou...I am currently sitting with a Go-Pro and accessories, binoculars and a drone with camera in my online shopping basket. As most Pie and Bovrilers know...ya cannae beat a wee bit of self pleasuring at this time of the year happy birthday jesus!

A few months back a young lassie in my partners office posted her gran had died. Within 2 minutes she had 8 "likes". Her granny must have been a right chunt

Last night's Evening Telegraph here in Dundee had a heartbreaking story. Interview with a 22yr old who was born in Vegas but came to Scotland aged 3 when his mum left his American father when he was sent to prison. Aged 7 he was all prepared to go back and visit his dad who is just out of prison only for his father to be killed in a car accident a couple of days before he flew out. Fast forward 13 years and he gets a message out of the blue from a step/half sister who he never knew existed. She was in Edinburgh touring and thought she would try to find him. They meet up and have been in contact ever since. The best part was the end... His sister is getting married in America next year and he would love to be there at the wedding so he has set up a Just Giving page and hopes that "Evening Telegraph readers might donate to make his dream come true". Here is this Evening Telegraph reader's tuppenceworth. You are 22. Get a job. Save for a year. Pay it yerself ya mooching phanny!

Mates burd had been working in Europe for some big bank and came home for Christmas. They all went and trying to show off out for Christmas dinner and she said she would order for everybody which she did. Then added, "And can we have another giraffe of wine please". I assume she must have meant the wine bottle with the extra long neck ;-)

I am off to Poznan from Edinburgh. Girlfriend hails from there so going back for her sister's wedding.

"No different to wearing a jacket with pockets surely?" I am probably over analysing it but have been on a flight where they told a girlfriend to take off the tiny wee handbag and put it in her luggage as deemed as a second piece of hand luggage. It was about the size of a sporran and all she had in it was passport and purse. "Just wear it under your kilt if they try to play hard ball." Would that then make me guilty of playing hard balls while they played hard ball? Think I will be ok, just remember not to take my real skihn duh!

Off to Poland on Thursday for a wedding. Being a cheapskate I am gonna wear my kilt outfit and take 10kg hand luggage to keep costs down. Do Ryanscare get funny about sporrans being classed as "hand bags"?
