A bit west of Tarves

And a touche north of Whiterashes..


Quite a bit south of Turra (Turriff for those not local or familiar with the Doric )

Hey Cheerio

You're a poet
And you didn't know it

I'd have been impressed if you'd worked in their new fishing spot just north of Fyvie Station

Has anyone at the Ice Station noticed that you never see Captain Vernacular and the bloke off Bargain Hunt in the same place?

Hey guys,

Don't forget it's pretty much north east of Chapel of Garioch too, or was last time I looked! Don't suppose you want to know it was 29C down here last week

If I'd known there was going to be Totti I might have stayed!

"Boring Old Fart replies
I wuz once...etc, etc
In the "early" '60s I had a terrific time at a place 30, [that's thirty miles North of ISZ . In fact one Hogmonay I nearly walked it [From the Town to Buchan]. And do you know what REALLY tees me off? I never ever saw the "Northern Lights":o

I could give a position relative to Fetternear, but no-one outside Kemnay knows where that is...so let's not bother.

Cheerio - was your ditty penned during an extended snow bound delay on said A947 as some of my most esteemed collegues are all too experienced in?

A bit west of Tarves, would that be 5 miles by any chance, as all the signs I've ever seen for Tarves have the number 5 on them. Has ANYONE ever been there?

Also

100 posts Whoopee!

On Bended Kne.....MK111

Buzz,
As an ex - PB controller myself, probably after your time, your reference to an Italian footballer takes my interest, care to spill the beans?

Cool

Yeah, why the hell not. Its about that time of year again and I haven't posted anything for ages. Besides, I have got nothing to do with my evenings at the minute.

Forget Oldmeldrum or Turriff...

I wouldn't mind having the chance of reporting overhead, or requesting to orbit over 'Brathens' (4 miles NW Banchory). Might create a laugh or two as well as a bit of confusion with our Norwegian friends!!!
