I’m sorry for everyone who has had first hand experience of this sort of thing.

I live in a small town in East Lothian. The most exciting thing that happened last year was that a hamster got stuck under someone’s floorboards and the fire brigade spent five hours trying to rescue it. Front page news it was.

I like living there.

Dance classes – Ceroc, Leroc or Salsa.

It’s like an parallel universe to Mountain Biking. 80% women to 20% men (and some of the men aren’t there to meet women).

My father-in-law is a strange one. He likes an argument. No, he *loves* an argument. He’d swear the black was white if he could get an argument out of it.

Did you marry simonfbarnes’ daughter?

In fact up until a few years ago I believe many golf courses didn’t allow women in the clubhouse.

Many still don’t

I don’t normally like Monbiot’s pieces but that’s a well crafted kicking.

Because you seem to have a fairly slim grip on the realities of chemistry

and maths.

He’s an excellent fisherman though :-)
