Next to me was a van. We were doing maybe 10mph and the passenger window of the van rolled down. A big dog then stuck it's head out of the window. It was just enjoying the air in it's face. I've no idea why but this (maybe the look on the dog's face) cheered me up no end. There are few things in life more joyful than seeing a big daft dug sticking its head out of a car/van window 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 A beautiful sight such as this. Knowing it's a stick on you're getting 2 for 1. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carpetmonster Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Adidas had a big sale on Monday. Ordered a pair of Ultraboosts for $57 (down from $190) and the last Scotland home top for $45 down from $90. Came on Wednesday. Thursday another box appears with the same shoes on the same invoice number. Livechat Adidas explaining situ and that I'd like to pay for them and just keep them given it was such a good deal - really I was hoping they'd say oh just keep them and not notice they'd made a cockup later on and charge the card they have on file. Agent said just keep them. Nice. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent said just keep them. Nice. Good on them. I got sent a doubler by an electronics retailer* years ago because they sent the order out in two goes and picker #2 presumably didn't know part of the order had already been filled. They wanted me to send the extra back at my own cost. When I said I'd not be doing that, the lassie on the phone said she'd need to speak to someone higher up as they didn't have a process for refunding shipping on returns. Never heard back from them. *which I won't name as I'm not 100% which one it was anymore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buchan30 Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Finally managed to finish the Fife coastal path. 117 miles of walking, has taken a few years because i have only managed small chunks here and there. Word to the wise. Anyone doing the last chunk of it from wormit bay, there are a lot of steep hills. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ventured up Arthur's seat today, quite pleased considering I'm not great with narrow paths with a big drop at the other side, and I'm not great with heights either. But once I got up the top I was fine. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But once I got up the top I was fine. Cheers dude. Well done, some great views from up there. Done it last year and i wasn’t too bad with it. I had done Largo law earlier that year (the one you can see if you look across from Arthurs seat to Fife) and got half way up before remembering i had a fear of heights. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Caledonian1 Posted April 10, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 10, 2023 I have two Ukranian refugees staying with me and delighted that they have both just got jobs - working in a hotel. I live in a realtively rural location and they struggled to get employment as they had no means of transport other than me giving lifts or public transport (which is sporadic at best) Last week I arranged a cheap car for them (23 years old Corsa) which my neighbour sold to them for a very good price. Getting insurance wasnt easy bu we got there and they have since been out and about looking. They are happy to start in kitchens or cleaning - anything just to get a start. They are really good people and i am delighted for them. Sponsoring them has been a really good experience so far - I have spare rooms so it has been really easy. 26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone who sponsors is vetted by the Council so not sure how a complete knob would be deemd approrpaite to sponsor three Ukrainians. mnay have returned to Ukraine though - especially areas in the west not so affected by the way.
