However, many years ago, I took my girlfriend (now Mrs. F_P) for a drive around Perthshire and we ended up at House of Bruar where we went for a stroll in the woods and enjoyed a bit of 'al fresco friskiness' amongst the trees. We were picking pine needles out of our underpinnings for hours. I don't consider an outdoor shag at HoB as posh though. I did notice recently that "took the missus up the house of Bruar" had entered the Scottish vernacular. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted Monday at 10:56 Share Posted Monday at 10:56 Been in Buckingham Palace where the nature of the event meant dressing up in your best. As we walked through the gates dressed in our finery (or in my case the same suit I wear for everything, only the tie changes), the tourists thronged outside wondered if we were celebrities or something. They never hid their disappointment when they realised we were far fom celebrity status. Cameras and phones back in their pockets in jig time. Two things I remember, one was that the staff were great. Chatty, put us to ease and there was no stuffiness. The second thing is that the toilets, well, the ones for our use anyway, were straight out of the 1970s. Old style formica, avocado coloured sinks, taps and fittings straight from 1975. Very strange. Apart from that, did corporate hospitality once for Hamilton Accies v St Mirren at New Shithole Park. Billy Reid’s Accies v Gus MacPherson’s Saints… it was a 0-0 draw, and Accies hospitality was like a school canteen. Posh or what? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was working for one of the Oil companies at the time, spending months in the country, he did ask me how I was finding it, spending time in Yemen and what I thought of the people, the Middle East in general etc... all that chat. I gave my answers and opinions about the Houthis, (the then) President Salah and the Yemeni relationship with Saudi Arabia, and within a month of me leaving Yemen, Civil war broke out.

It was more Arthur Daley than posh though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted Monday at 12:54 Share Posted Monday at 12:54 I've dressed up to go to the Opera.
