This is not working for me without a VPN

Somebody. Please. Tell me.

Was just winding you up with lines from Day Today/Brass Eye.

I do but haven't bothered putting it on my laptop.

Ok, I get it. Well, not really but see what you meant. 👍

One of my favourite Primal Scream songs was the single 'Star' from the brilliant album 'Vanishing Point' (1997).

Bobby G. sang the recycled line as the chorus - ''Every brother is a star, every sister is a star''

Question for the knowledgable - Where or whom or what is the connection between this song and the Inverness area?

I'll be back in an hour, greens for anyone with the correct answer or answers (and no cheating).

The brother and sister are in a relationship?

The second episode, "Drugs", has been described by Professor Michael Gossop as illustrative of the ease with which anti-drug hysteria can be evoked in the United Kingdom.[1] In the opening scene of this episode, a voiceover tells viewers that there are so many drugs on the streets of Britain that "not even the dealers know them all". An undercover reporter (Morris) asks a purportedly real-life drug dealer in London for various fictitious drugs, including "Triple Sod", "Yellow Bentines" and "Clarky Cat", leaving the dealer puzzled and increasingly irritated until he asks the reporter to leave him alone. He also explains that possession of drugs without physical contact and the exchange of drugs through a mandrill are perfectly legal in English law.

One drug mentioned was a fictitious drug called "Cake", described as being from Czechoslovakia, despite the country no longer existing when the episode was screened. The drug purportedly affected an area of the brain called "Shatner's Bassoon" (altering the user's perception of time), while also giving them a bloated neck due to "massive water retention", a "Czech neck", and was frequently referred to as "a made-up drug" during the show.[1] Other celebrities such as Sir Bernard Ingham, Noel Edmonds, and Rolf Harris were shown holding the bright-yellow cake-sized pill as they talked, with Bernard Manning telling viewers a fictitious story about how one girl regurgitated her own pelvis,[1] and recounts that "One young kiddy on Cake cried all the water out of his body. Just imagine how his mother felt. It's a fucking disgrace".

David Amess, the Conservative Member of Parliament for Basildon, was fooled into filming an elaborate video warning against the dangers of this drug,[1] and went as far as to ask a question about "Cake" in the UK Parliament, alongside real substances khat and gamma-hydroxybutyric acid. In response, the Home Office minister incorrectly identified the fictitious drug "Cake" as a pseudonym for the hallucinogenic drug methylenedioxybenzylamphetamine.[2]

I've got a few weeks of spare time and fancy a trip to Amsterdam, partly because there are handy direct flights from Aberdeen and I'm running out of interesting things to do.  Trouble is, most of my friends are at work when I'm off, my other half has already been to Amsterdam, and travelling there solo even for non-seedy purposes will undoubtedly be perceived as high-level OFTW behaviour.  What to do???

Go, and make sure you hit super-ultra-high seedy behaviour. That way, everyone’s a winner.

Go, but tell everybody you're going somewhere else. Alternatively, just go.

Was half tempted to stick this in the Compo Faces thread

I found a packet of quavers in my loft that were 4 years out of date. 

Scott manned up and tried them. They were chewy, very tough. Almost indestructible. But he managed to finish the bag. 

Don't think I've ever had a prouder moment as a parent.
