  1. Hello there good citizens of Livingston, Lord Snooty of Ross here.

    I have decided to attend said match between the Lions and the Staggies. However, my Helicopter is in for its annual service, so I have to make my way to Livingston by way of the internal combustion engine. Due to a misunderstanding between Northern Constabulary and myself over allowable alcohol limits, my driving licence is temporarily out of bounds. I have, therefore, instructed my Driver “Tam”, to prepare the Bentley, and take me to the game.

    Tam is a real highlander, and considers anything south of Aviemore as England, so has no clue about the road layout in your good town, and asks for suggestions for the best place to park the Bentley, enabling him to make an efficacious departure north after the game. Would any of your good selves be able to offer parking  advice, it’s Tams birthday on Saturday, and he is keen to get home to his wife, Morag, he says he is on a promise, or something like that.

    Thanking you in advance.

    I think you are being kind calling it divisive.

    In that part of the world, of all places, it is a disgusting symbol of colonialism and brutality.

    Unthinkable that they gave it the go ahead. 

    The same people that permitted the Inverness Orange march, have banned a march in Portree, by some folk who are upset about NHS provision in the town. What’s the logic in that ?

    So sorry for your loss. All of us who have had dogs know that one day they will break your heart, and we all know how you feel.

    @Flatulent Gannet, how you getting on with the two of them?

    Quite well really. Bonnie, the black lab is only 18 months old, so is still a pup really, so they play a lot with each other. Banjo the pupster has sharp teeth, and Bonnie is three times the size of him, so the play can get a bit too boisterous , so one of the will get some time out in their crate. When they stop trying to kill each other, they like to curl up together and fall asleep..

    it’s hard work at times, but worth it as you can see that they have bonded well. I’m not sure how well it would have gone if Bonnie had been older, she may not have been so patient !

    My family have had a number of dogs from Munlochy,

    Ben the red and white collie who snoozed in the crofters field with the sheep. Amy my first dog who was a collie/Jack Russell type thing. My sister had a bestie from their. Molly the bearded Collie who was Def from the special needs class 🤣

    Special.mention to Corey who we tried our best with but after 18 months had to had back. He needed an outdoor kennel.

    Also had a pair of cats. 

    Munlochy is a special place, we used to go and walk their dogs, until, obviously, there was one we did not want to hand back

    Skye has fallen into a deep depression at the thought of going back to the daily grind of non-holiday life.

    Was good to find a proper dog friendly place to stay that was well equipped (Highland Annexe in Munlochy if anyone is wondering).

    The dugs were overjoyed at being allowed on the sofa. There was a fenced in, seperate dog garden as well.

    Could have popped in to see our two, we are about half a mile from there.

  7. Has anyone had a Cortisone injection to their knee ?. My knees are knackered with osteoarthritis and will eventually need replacing , but I am keen to put that off for as long as possible.

    What are the the pros and cons of a cortisone injection ?. 
    Thanks

  8. To take my mind off the woes of Ross County and our bonkers Manager, the sleeping terror with the multicoloured collar asleep on my gonads, is coming to live with us in a fortnight. Hopefully Bonnie will like having a little brother.

    I think I'm developing an ingrown toenail. Does anyone have any tips?

    Not sure about your Health Board, but in the Highlands we have a self referral service to NHS Podiatry. Might be worth enquiring. I had an Ingrowing big toenail, riddled with toenail fungus, all quite disgusting. Filled, and handed in a form, they called a day a so later with an appointment for the next week. When I went in they were all ready to remove the toenail, which was all done in 45 minutes. All in all, a very good service.
