He took a hidin' and got his buskin takings stole from the wee arsehole and went looking for him at his families shop. Can't condone what happened when he found them though. 40 minutes ago, DA Baracus said: 3 months ago? He's broken that multiple times since. Probably every day. He is in town everyday, just moved spot. I've no idea why he isn't lifted unless he just isn't drunk so gets away with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one at Bragar in Lewis was coated in fibreglass as it was deteriorating. It has the original harpoon that was used, sticking out the top. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was accompanying a couple of service users to an optician appointment at Boots and he was vamping away as per. Got me thinking that this is the soundtrack to their working life. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say, it's complicated... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it was originally painted on by a minister after his daughter had survived a fall from the cliff. Unknown person(s) repaint it every year apparently. Similar to this stone on the Dava Moor. f**k knows who paints it. Was there when I was about 10 and it’s still going. 19 hours ago, Hedgecutter said: Buccaneer petrol station, Elgin Aitkenheads garage if you don’t mind.

Arch Stanton Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 The gargoyle of the xenomorph from Alien is not just on any Paisley church, it's on the 13th century Paisley Abbey. Here's another Paisley church, the Oakshaw High church where, legend goes, a steeplejack fell to his death when fixing the weather vane. His heart, handkerchief and glasses were later incorporated into the cobbles in the churchyard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Arbroath has a knock off version of Fast Eddie that goes by the name Left Hand Luke: https://www.eveningtelegraph.co.uk/fp/lichtie-let-die-arbroath-busker-left-hand-luke-in-court-after-claiming-to-be-james-bond-while-wafting-toy-gun/ He had a stint years ago where he used to dress up as Johnny Depp from Pirates of the Caribbean. Good to see he's moved on and is now James Bond. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) Seeing as Buckie got a mention earlier, the nearby Craigmin Bridge needs a mention It’s next to a so called ‘Fairy Walk’ where you can terrify your kids.

Enigma Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Reminds me of a picture I took in Dunkeld last year. Usually places only bother with such signs for "so and so, famous for whatever, lived here from X to Y", but this one seems to be the very definition of "scrambling for relevance". Eta: on the subject of scrambling for relevance, there's the seemingly random 'John Lennon Memorial Garden' in Durness, put there because he visited on holiday. He’s got a bench in Princes Street Gardens too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
