FTFY.

I would not like to be the one 'below her'.

^^^forgot the word 'champ' after the last sentence. Doing it wrong.

Saw a guy walking along Princes Street this morning with a Queen's Park shirt on. At first I thought it was a bit strange but then thought, fair play, it's not one of the bigot brothers, Man City or Chelsea. Respect.

Yep, the flood defence works on the Water of Leith have been causing chaos in the area for ages.

He has every right to slag off your disgusting toast eating habits.

You'll need to find a more 'Celtic-minded' local.

Yes, totally agree

Women who walk along the street with one arm being used to hold on to their coats in an effort to keep it closed. Just buy one that fits properly in the first place

Thanks. I've been looking at them, seem to be quite good. I've got the Run and Become shop round the corner from work so I will pop in there and maybe try them on and get some advice from them but it's good to get advice from anyone who uses them or has any recommendations.

G-bo may have murdered his pets in a house fire and went on a cruise as a result but he's right about it being a chipper.

Looking for advice on running shoes. I'm not a runner at present but as a means of shifting some weight I'm going to start giving it a go. So I'm a bit of a fat bassa and I'm looking for some shoes with a high level of cushioning to protect the old knees and ankles from too much excessive punishment. Anyone have any recommendations?

I'll see you there then, you pant sniffing weirdo.

The brick was fairly comprehensive in its despatching of the poor mouse. A shoe might not have had the same effect and might have increased its suffering while I tried to bludgeon it to death. I don't normally keep sticks or pieces of metal pipes around the house, funnily enough. I'm glad I did it outside given the way its head exploded.

Like what? A rolling pin? I took it outside and smashed it with the brick to avoid having to clean the kitchen floor of the inevitable consequences of smashing a small rodent with a brick.

I killed a mouse this morning. We had set some traps last night as my wife had spotted a mouse running around. Came into the kitchen this morning and spotted a mouse lying beside the trap. Excellent, I think, the trap has clearly done its job. I then go to bag it and bin it when it starts moving and I am a bit taken aback. Then starts a bit of thinking about how to humanely put it out of its misery. Do I just put it in the wheelie bin and let it die, clearly in pain and unable to move? Do I take it outside and let the local cats finish it off? Do I end its suffering by smothering it with a pillow? In the end I smashed it with a brick and now I feel terrible.

Brilliant game.

Do the world a favour and tip the kids onto the tracks.

Cheers AT, Kirknewton is in West Lothian so Ben Lomond is easier for me to get to, but thanks for your suggestion, it's one to keep in mind for the future.

Thanks guys, I did basic navigation many years ago on DoE but could definitely do with a refresher. At the moment though, will stick to the 'easy' hills as I break myself in

Novice at hillwalking but keen to give it a go as a way of trying to build up my Fitness level. Have been investigating possible munroes for beginners and Ben Lomond seems like it's reasonably pathed with little chance of me getting lost or into trouble, but with great views from the summit, and it's relatively close. I would hope to get a couple of walks in the Pentlands to prepare. Do you experienced guys/gals think this sounds reasonable?

Yawn
