Hey, where are you? Under the funny coloured flag! Which one? Erm, I don't know the country!!

Grilled salmon with philadelphia cheese on top alongside minty baby tatties. Win.

Why do people when running for a bus, stop running with about 10m to go and walk the rest, inevitably missing the bus as it pulls away 9/10? Saw it happen yet again this morning.

Fair enough, my main quarrel was with them having South Ayrshire as a county when it's nothing but a council area, even if it was formerly Kyle and Carrick. Back on topic, I took a few friends up Ben Chonzie last weekend for their first munroe of the year. With just the right amount of snow it was actually quite interesting with the round route full of mountain hares as usual. Good weather apart from the horizontal hailstones on the summit.

Depends if you count Arran as part of Ayrshire doesn't it seeing as it's covered by North Ayrshire council? Had I had that question then I reckon I would have gone for Goat Fell. My real pet hate are questions like these in pub quizzes. We had one not too long ago about 'in which Scottish county would you find Prestwick Airport?'. Define county in Scotland futha mucka. When you look at the English county system then the closest thing we have are regions (Strathclyde, Grampian etc) but other folk (particularly English quiz masters up here) seem to think that council areas are counties. For example, there's no way you could look at, say East Renfrewshire or 'City of Aberdeen' in the same definition as Cornwall or Cumbria. P.S. their answer for the Prestwick one was 'South Ayrshire' but under a county equivalent I reckon it should have been Strathclyde (Cue the usual 'Strathclyde' doesn't exist bullshit even though you still have Strathclyde Police, Strathclyde Fire & Rescue etc...)

Just wait until Law Stud sees this.

Ayr Utd

Works bowling night out last night with various prizes given out at the end of the night including wooden spoons for the losing team and it had me thinking, if Scotland win the 6 Nations Wooden Spoon (again, groan), do they actually get presented with a wooden spoon?

Sidney Samson's incredibly annoying Riverside. Shame the tune's been stuck in my head for the last three days and I now can't get to sleep and have strangely started to love this tune. Let's go...

'Really light' Ribena. No added preservatives, no artificial colours, no taste.

Fair do's. Thinking about it a bit more, I think it was a fair while back and we got stopped when we were passing by (out for dinner) and they pretty much said 'it's no longer Kuri, we've taken it over and it's now better and cheaper! Come and try!'. Turns out we bought what we normally would have in Kuri and ended up spending far more than we would have really. I think that's where my problem lies.

Only been there once and my first memory that springs to mind is getting ripped off. That's the place that used to be Kuri, right?

The Nazma Tandoori on Bridge St (close to the train station) always seems to get good reviews. I was there once and it was all pictures of Alex Salmond shaking hands with the chef on the wall and the likes but wasn't anything particularly special IMO. I was just as impressed with the Bollywood on Union Street - thought the name sounded pretty cheap but it was good and excellent value. 'Cinnamon' at the south end of Union Street is meant to be pretty good too, although I've never been in.

I saw one of those trolleys on the beach below St Andrews Castle the other week - I read the sign on the front and though 'obviously so'.

Suppose he could ask the air company to change it to manchester when he checks it in, incurring a massive debt in fees knowing most air companies these days even though all it takes is someone to stick a manchester sticker on it instead.

It is indeed the Icelandair one - so there's a good chance he can just get off at Manchester even though he's got a ticket for Glasgow? Assuming so, sweet Cheers.

Why does it cost £95,000 for someone to design a logo for the Glasgow Commonwealth games? Also noticed the London 'Lisa Simpson Giving Head' Olympics logo cost £400,000 too. What do the designers do that could possibly cost that amount?

Just found out that my flight from Reykjavik to Glasgow next week has a 'service stop' at Manchester of all places – aye, let’s fly from Iceland to Glasgow but fly past Glasgow to get to Manchester and then take them all back to Glasgow??? Can anyone shed some light on this crazy world? What's worse is one guy I'm travelling with actually wants to go to Manchester that night once we get back and was planning on getting a train down to Manchester from Glasgow, even though we'll be stopping there earlier that day. Don't imagine they'll let him off and set up a passport immigrations desk just for him.

Anyone know what a cash passport is?

But surely the shortarses can get out of the emergency exits quicker than freaks like you blocking up the whole doorway while you stoop and clog the whole thing up?
