How many types of porridge oats have you got in your cupboards?

I've got rolled oats, pinhead, fine-milled and Ready Brek.

And we use/eat every one.

If my DH had his way our wedding would have been co-ordinated round the rugby - that's the Borderer in him though. I mean how dare i choose the date in the rugby season. My cousins first wedding was during a Scotland v Wales rugby game. DH and DB had a tiny TV with them in the church.

Has anyone been watching Trawlermen on BBC1? Why do they have subtitles? I can understand perfectly what they are saying

DeputyMacDawg · 06/02/2007 16:53

You read the Sunday Post, cos nothin' bad happens in the world o' the Post (and you get tae read the Broons)

DeputyMacDawg · 06/02/2007 16:55

dh and I were in Saltcoats the other day for a Double Nugget (with raspberry) which we ate in the car looking out to Arran.
Man, we're gettin old
