Didn't some English politician once suggest that they could dump their nuclear waste ****e in Scotland?

You and the strip got a bit more screen time tonight.
Unfortunately you weren't dubbed into Gaelic so the Angus/Yank twang shone through... and no subtitles :)

Think so, but they plumped for a postcode in Central London, inside the Houses of Parliament if I remember correctly. Apparently has warped a lot of peoples minds.......Balls in your Court Mr Bernier:rolleyes:

Dunno what "sponging" is, but if you mean "spongeing" check out the Barnett Formula for funding - if the Scottish government is generous to the lieges in one area then it has to short change them in another. It is a zero sum.

Within Scotland it is a net zero - the issue of spongeing comes from Barnet - 2012/13 - expenditure per head in England £8,529, expenditure per head in Scotland £10,152.

And hence the 'free' services in a 'country' which if independent would have finances worst than Greece!

This post seems to have drifted off course!

Piperboy, good stuff!

However, I wouldn't admit on camera that I was addicted to grass:=

Without being childish, Chevvron started it:uhoh:

Highland Airports...
 

This time we got Shetland, East Lothian, Dundee and some wee croft in Forfar of all places... Looks like everyone wants to be a Highlander these days!

The BBC should be done for false advertising! :p

Without being childish, I did try to attach a Red Devil to show I was joking.

The problem with trying to keep the show authentic as to the most popular sporting activities in the Highlands is how many viewers are going to watch a show based solely on stern Sunday morning lectures from a grim looking Wee Free minster on the evils of alcohol and liberal fornication while the congregants sit listening intently while also planning their next piss-up and wife swapping party.

Appying that to my memories of the aging Highland community where I grew up = yuck......

Fine patch of grass you’ve got there, by the way :)

Yes, it's a disgrace the licence fee spending is so badly skewed towards Scotland.

Hey, the Beeb could have come to Strathaven if they were heading out of the highlands.

After all, my father never learned to speak English until he went to school and the sale of the wee bit of Skye croft land went to help pay for this airfield!

pb84,

I can vouch for the first two qualities. The third one, I'm glad to say, I do not have any information on which I could base an opinion! :E

I flew over PP84’s strip yesterday on the way back from Perth to Aberdeen. I was at about 2500 feet and would have gone in lower for a closer look see but it there was an aircraft taxing down there so kept out of the way. Wouldnt mind a fly in one day. Bacon butties??

Help yourself, I'm overseas right now so don't answer my phone, cafe gate is at the 27 threshold down the slope then follow the path south for about 200 yards.

Here is the link for the cafe:

I suppose I better put the disclaimers in, I am not linked with the nature reserve in any way other than being a neighbor, all visits are at your own risk, if you prang your plane or get assaulted by a donkey you're on your own.

They keep/train fighting donkeys now in Scotland? No end to surprise.

Jan, the donkeys are only trained to keep the sheep satisfied when the Aberdonians are not in town.:cool:
