    And why do ghosts appear fully clothed? Are they modest? Quite happy to appear with no head it seems but not with no pants.

    What cheers me up is asking people who don't believe we sent people to the moon, if they believe in ghosts.

    Although I’m a total wimp whe it comes to watching horror movies and the like and if I was in some old house at night with creaky noises I would probably fill my pants.
    It’s the way they say this is “ really dangerous “
    I may have missed something but I can’t recall when the last time someone was killed by a ghost. :twisted:
    Vic and Bob's take on the Most Haunted programs - degenerate into an explosion of swearing - hilarious!

    I assume the MFs took this to mean the same as me in that Rick has used up his quota and will be absent from the forum. :wink:

    You need to intervene. Those ladybirds eat aphids and greenfly.

    I thought they wore sheets? All the ones on Scooby Doo did anyway.

    I've always imagined him in tweed. Chris Eubank/Jacob Rees Mogg style.

    Funny that.

    Pretty clear it's a red spotty cravat, tweed waistcoat and green blazer. You can see it in the picture.

    Yep, great ride, 3 hours of torture, stayed down on the Carse (basically the flat bit of Scotland) as the roads were snow covered above about 50m elevation.
    Loved every minute of it, except for the bits where I was soaked to the skin, getting bombarded with torrential sleet, and so cold I was shivering even while pushing hard uphill. So, loved about 30 minutes of it then.

    Most pleasing thing was the level crossing at Kingoodie: because the line is dead level and straight along the Carse, you can see the lights of the oncoming train as you cross it.

    Know what you mean, I did a 20 mile run on the wide open, exposed coastal levels this morning. There were points where I felt like I was running flat out just to keep going forward. Hard work but felt like great prep for the marathon I'm doing on the same roads.

    TV camera at the Wales game focusing on a banner saying 'Wales tackle even makes Stormy Daniels wince' the director obviously took a few seconds to work out the meaning before cutting away.
