BFTD Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 We used to get milk, eggs, butter, orange juice, milkshake mix, and a host of other stuff from a local dairy. They'd leave a wee leaflet with new products they were punting, and generally they were all worth having as it pished all over the supermarket stuff. Unfortunately, that was back in the Eighties. Other than birds pecking your bottle tops and fly b*****ds out on the rob in the early hours, I'm not sure that the modern way is necessarily better, in this case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Pete Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Not far along the road from Five Sisters zoo in West Lothian today I saw 5 huge hills of unnaturally pointed shape. Not perfect pyramids like the ones at Livingston, but definitely too large and sharp to be natural. What are they? My best guess was old slag heaps long since grown over, but it's purely a guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed it was something to do with the family that own it or something! Feeling a might daft now. I only assumed slag heaps as on the sides of them you can see from the road dark coloured stone where the foliage has slid away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 We used to go up the bings on our bikes as kids (various ones around West Fife). It was good fun as they were like low-rent volcanoes with steam and smoke coming out in places. It was only years after that I read about how they didn’t want folk going on them due to the risk of collapsing into a fiery pit of hell. A few of them are now nature walks etc (35 years later, having cooled down a bit). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discarded cooked shale, the remnants of Scotland's original oil industry. https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2021/mar/16/west-lothian-scotland-spoil-heap-wastelands-shivered-into-life You may have inspired a new slogan for the road signs though: Welcome to West Lothian: lots of slag heaps and heaps of slags. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest_Man#1 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 No idea the most appropriate thread for this so I’ll go with a generic one. Does anybody suffer from bloating? I feel like I’m fairly bloated a lot of the time, and wondered if anyone has taken supplements to reduce bloating and if they had any effect? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
