…..sometimes that "pint" is never reached…

Nice one TJ!

Moulin Inn – Pitlochry.

Good walking – Ben Vrackie walk starts from the Inn.

Just in case you do go and open your gob – the hospital currently has a few wards closed due to an infection. This might be more dangerous than the kicking you'll get in the town.

My advice – avoid!!

There is a nice wee coffee shop down a street from the pedestrian area to the river.

Agreed – basic maintainence should be in the test.

I'm surprised it's as low as 46 bottles! Thankfully I'm way below this average which obviously means someone is way above this average.

Are we the biggest drinking country in the World?

Can you save the music or just play it?

Not seen any but there are several Premier League players involved. Surely it can't be that bad??

Try Michelin Maps[/url] – works ok.

Mate of mine is looking for a job after parting company with Kilmarnock this week.

Just Another Saturday

La Cabina

Two Way Stretch

Easy to connect plastic pipes.

It's a 2 day route – why not make it circular? Long drive up here for 2 days biking!

Can give you some info on a circular you like.

cheers

Double bed + 6 feet all round would seem reasonable.

"Schools
All schools in the Scottish Borders will be closed for pupils tomorrow (Thursday 7 January).
A decision on any further closures will be made this afternoon by the emergency planning team. Schools staff will also be advised later today on whether they should attend tomorrow."

And who says schools are closed by teachers?

Headteachers can only close a school with the approval of the local authority. Here in the Borders all schools were closed to pupils today by the local authority while staff were expected to attend.

Schools are closed by the local authority – NOT by teachers!!

Parents don't like it when the cheap child minding service is withdrawn. I think schools are closed when safety of the pupils may be compromised and NOT because teachers can't get to work.

"They have just closed my sons school in Redditch, will be closed tomorrow as well, no buses running due to having about 2" of snow in an hour, how the **** are we supposed to just drop everything and collect the kids asap from the school office." – exactly one of the reasons to close the school!!!

Really just comes down to baby sitting hassle though doesn't it?? Not a lot of mention of missed education so far!

Onion – you are quite correct sir!

Aye – turn water off and try to locate where the pipes are frozen. Check taps in sequence from where the main supply enters your house.
It probably won't take much heat to defrost the pipes.

Pete – close but no cigar!!lol

TJ – I agree – Malt and Hops is worthy of a mention.

The Louden Tavern is not!

Quiz – What's the longest palindromic place name in the UK?

Single men are embarrassed to come forward???

I don't think so!

Have a look here

Might be something of interest?

She has a secret biking pal who's advising her!!

I'd have withheld the full payment until the job was finished to your satisfaction.

My mate rode the Borders Loop which is 250 miles in under 24 hours. It is all on road of course but still a good effort.

A bit of training and you should manage the C2C. Mostly road and good surfaces.

good luck
