    Shuddup. "Too many pre-lunch drinks" Get a grip. There is no such thing as too many pre-lunch drinks. Next you will be telling us you're moving to London and getting a job in banking :roll:

    In order for the rest of the world to hate somewhere, they generally need to
    a. Know it exists and
    b. Be a bit jealous of it

    No danger of you lot being hated then :wink:

    I really enjoy the ABE mentality, and I don’t for one begrudge Matthewfalle his win by proxy (He’s posted so much great stuff in the Big Girls Thread I’ll forgive him almost anything!) but while you guage your seasons success on only beating England then you’ll never make any progress or win any World Cups!

    Even GarryH saw sense and left the place.
    So did CZJ and even that complete tw@t Rob Brydon.

    Did you know his Dad was a car salesman? Explains a lot.

    Your body may leave but your heart and soul will always yearn and remain.

    As for Brydon. Not really a great loss. The Welsh Cordon. Any chance they could both get food poisoning on a long haul flight together?

    The sound of sheep in the morning.

    Living in Newmarket we're surrounded by stables and studs, with their magnificent but generally quiet racehorses. But this time of year the paddocks across the road have an influx of woolly tourists, who go on to produce lambs. And when the shepherd drives round on his quad bike feeding them, they all go nuts, charging about and bleating. 'Tis a marvellous sound.

    I used to deliver around there and loved watching the horses on the gallops early in the morning, mist hanging around. I used to get a bacon sarnie and a coffee and deliberately park somewhere with a view.

    Limekilns - that's it.

    Good spot. The road up over the top towards Moulton also has good views of the all-weather gallops on Side-Hill and back over the town. Atmospheric combinations of trees, dewy grass, mist, white rails, rising sun, steaming horses and brightly coloured riders.

    Must find the time to wander up there with my new camera...

    They're always very careful these days to say "yellow warning for snow" not "yellow snow warning".
    Except, of course, that they actually say "yellow 'be aware' warning", which does wind me up, as the long-windedness completely negates the point of having a simple code.

    The Scottish big display signs seem to be along the lines of the Viz ads at the footy stadium:

    Smoke tabs
    Eat Food.
    Drive according to conditions.
    Make sure you wear your seatbelt.
    Tiredness can kill.
    Drink beer.

    There's no discernible difference.

    Smoke tabs ? Promote pot smoking now in Scotland ? Next they'll be telling you it's a crime to smack your own kids.
