b r The Borders have traditionally largely voted Liberal to keep the Tory out. There is a real danger a Tory will get in next election as the SNP Lib vote will be more evenly split.

I was worried that I was going to live in the only Tory seat in Scotland!

Another +1 for Cynic-Al

How much can westerners earn working there?

How much can westerners earn working there?

I wash my car myself – 2 reasons – I think I make a better job than a machine or some chancers with a gritty sponge and a frothy bucket..and I quite enjoy doing it!

Pitstops MUCH more interesting than the racing! Seems wrong to me. I thought it was about car racing?

Why would you want to tell the world that you went to the park with your kids?

Scottish Borders Border Patrol Patrol the Border!

Until the Labour Party have principled policies that they believe in, that they can take to the people with honesty and integrity as well as consistency…it won’t matter in any way who is leader.

A bit like choosing the next manager of Newcastle Utd!

All the best OP – lets hope all goes well and you can’t view poah’s contribution!

You’ll lots of Tupperware, a Bay City Rollers record….and a packet of Spangles.

Another 5 years of Cameron et al and this country is fecked!

Hard to believe some people actually want that!

I’ll go for 2 of my local beers

Love the description of Ball Park Pale Ale as “recreational”.

This One

Islay malts are a wee bit of an acquired taste but once you do acquire it…….

Postie – hows the sizing?

How about this wee adventure – take the Rambler bus from Keswick to Roshswaite – walk along the river to Grange – plenty spots for paddling/swimming and scrambling – tea room at Grange for ice creams – continue walk along West side of Derwent Water – catch ferry back to Keswick from Hawes End (Catbells) back to Keswick or from Portinscale of kids are still going strong.

Chips in Keswick seems a decent idea too!

I have money on Murphy – just think he has the temperament and nerve to win when they get to vinegar hill.

I wonder if Clarkson, Hammond and May will defect to ITV/SKY etc and make “2nd Top Gear”

I bet the bosses have thought about it!

No need to discuss the difference in salaries – just tell her how much you earn and what you can afford – let her figure out what she should do.If she doesn’t then she is not worth the forthcoming gtief.

As for Dubai – may well give an insight as to her values?

Getting a wee bit concerned now!

Just put a few bob on Trump to win.

I’m coming again!

Don’t like tattoos – always seems like wearing the same T-shirt for the rest of your life.

But…I’m happy if you are.

Sadly this event will only serve to increase the Tory vote…but not here in Scotland where we don’t really give a toss!

Well done Rockape – lets hope a few more of us can contribute.

The 3 Mustgetbeers?

OS Map – explore and take your chance – I’ve been lucky enough to find some amazing routes with this approach.

As previously said – be prepared to walk from time to time.

Current politician – Alex Salmond. You may not agree with him but he is a very accomplished and skillful politician.

Past masters – Tony Benn – head and shoulders above anybody else.

Jim Murphy ……….seriously?

Sadly Mourinho is quite good at planning a game and his players are good at making it work. He was quite content to let Man U have most of the ball but restricted them to few chances.

Boring to watch but I suspect he won’t care too much.

Still not sure why Di Maria or Falcao were signed? Maybe had van Gaal had started the season with Mata, Carrick with Rooney up front as well as a system the players could understand things might have been different.

Yep – use a holesaw with centre drill to keep in line.

A simple twist drill will do if the holes are to be smallish.

I will take a hit and offer to look after the T5 until your brother returns…

Off road secure parking too!

Any Help?

The sound of boots in deep snow.

That would make the ride a wee bit longer into Amsterdam I think!!

I suppose you could do the hard work at the start and ride to Newcastle?

50 miler in the morning then off to Tynecastle via Stratfords for pre-match beers and then a curry for tea.

Innerleithen on Sunday.

Just doing something well – you know when you think “that’s perfect”.

Could be anything – landing a jump, railing a berm, super smooth ski turn, flushing an 8 iron and stopping it dead next to the pin, perfect strike and the ball hits the top corner with the keeper nowhere…that sort of thing.

Doesn’t happen often though…except the 8 iron – I can still manage that.

Lisa Tarbuck

Actually this is is in the wrong thread – she is not a petty irritation is she?

Make it yourself – nice big coach bolt at the pivot point. Can be done with 3 “X” frames if you need to cut short lengths of firewood.
