Hi Sporter, bit of a random query, but I came across your blog due to the combination of Catalonia and your blogs in Scots. I'm an SF author and I'm currently working on a project to translate some of my very short stories more…

Rubber bumpers have uses in almost every arena of manufacturing. Diverse selection of bumpers has been custom selected for industries and individuals. A variety of styles including grommet bumpers, recessed bumpers, stem bumpers and tack bumpers.

Rivers, eh? I like them so much, I'm planning to live on a boat (ok, canals as well, which suggest another series of metaphors). Songwriters have had a field day - (?) - with rivers, not least of all Dylan, Springsteen, etc., as you know. more…

Hi Davie (?)
Can't recall that much swearing to be honest. Perhaps I'm just immune to it due to my relative youth.
Well done to the postie coves in beating those stuck up egghead bassas. More than "best male brains of Lewis" now I'd say. Is Moffie the one who is going to celebrate by buying a new hutch for his ferret?

hi Sporter
My mother read 'The Way' a couple of weeks ago. She enjoyed it, and would have recommended it to my father if only it had contained less than moderate use of the word fuck..
I don't know if you ever met a 'cove' from SY called Moffie who I used to hang about with when a teenager, but check the clip out below - more…

'That's Entertainment' came flooding back to me when i heard Noel Edmonds had been nominated for a bafta for 'deal or no deal'. if you've never seen the programme you're missing nothing. Made by the same folk that brought you Big Brother, it's becoming a global phenomenon.
