    Now that we've moved to Haddington I suddenly feel very strongly about Haddington having a train station again especially after seeing Leven and Cameron Bridge get one.

     

    I think that they looked into this a wee while ago but there wasn't enough capacity on the East Coast Mainline to accomodate any more trains.

  2. When I am going up stairs I count each step.

    That is why I know there are thirteen steps from downstairs to upstairs in my house.

    Last night  slightly inebriated and after my wife had gone to bed I thought that sleep was the very thing I required. 

    Being a thoughtful and considerate husband I didn't put the stair light on as that may have disturbed my wife, so I counted each step as I climbed upwards

    Somewhere during the journey I must have forgotten to count one, went to climb a step that wasn't there and nearly crashed through the bathroom wall.

    And yes, I did wake my wife up.

  3. I worked throughout all the various lockdowns from home, which saved me a fortune in commuting.

    The one thing that really scunnered me was not being able to visit my Mother in a Care Home.

    One Christmas morning we could only contact via 'phone from opposite sides of a window.

    This really upset my Mum and all the ridiculous contact rules probably contributed to her death as all she had to really look forward to were visits from me and her grandchildren.

    And then finding out that the law makers were habitual law breakers was a real kick in the bollocks.

    My dwtyd is to fold my empty crisp/ sweetie packets, empty bags,  into a wee triangle 

    I make a bow tie, could never get the hang of making triangles with confectionery wrappers.

  5. The "Tartan Army" are a national embarrassment. 

    And the "No Scotland,  No Party" shite just shows just how far up their own erses most of the TA are.

    Like nobody enjoyed any major tournament from 2000 to now as their were no pished fckwits with kilts and glengarrys with big fck off feathers, being the best fans in the world whilst pishing in the streets and being everyone's best friend.

    Absolute belter of a gig this evening - was a bit apprehensive about being in the upper seats but if anything the acoustics up there are better, and not many of us were sitting down. Two great set lists and a rave on the balcony, perfect Thursday night oot.

    It was a superb gig, don't think that I have danced as much at a gig before.

  7. This is tricky, I am genetically programmed to want England to lose at any sport, but my dislike of Irish Rugby knows no bounds.

    I suppose the best I can hope for is Twickenham to disappear into a massive sinkhole!

  8. I'm a Type 1 Diabetic that didn't take that much care about my weight until I had my last appointment with the Diabetic Health Team.

    My glucose levels have always been on the high side and I was told that I should get an insulin pump as it would be a better way to contol my glusoce levels.

    A pump seems way too invasive so since the start of the year I have cut out eating shite between meals and cut back on what | do eat at mealtimes.

    My glucose levels are now exactly where they should be, and I have had to cut back the amount of insulin that I have been injecting to keep within the target range, however I have only lost about four pounds since I started this regime.

    It seems that whilst I am winning where it comes to glucose levels I am destined to be continually overweight.

    Win some, lose some!
