[StayingSamVimesGirl]

Following on from discussion on another thread - could we have a Scottish section, please?

The local information is good, but it is too local to apply to the whole of Scotland, if you see what I mean.

How have the bastarding SNP hijacked AIBU??

Oh - and yay!!! to Justine!! (sorry, got distracted there...)

How have the bastarding SNP hijacked AIBU??

They haven't. There is however a ridiculous number of AIBUs about how terrible it is that SNP might be involved in WM after the GE.

Why have I not read this thread before?

It's braw and a think av pished masel

That's fine - as long as they (or indeed any political party) haven't taken over this forum.

As to the AIBUs re the SNP - it must be their turn.

Weclome Onemagnum, come away in

cheers! tho al have had ma tea right enuff.

Fair doos

Yes, sorry One - I was forgetting my manners there in my self-righteous froth

Welcome to ScotsNet or whatever we're calling it. Not quite as thrilling as SexNet that's been suggested for the Sussex/Essex/round those parts thread, but there's scones (to rhyme with gone, natch) and tea

I'm a weirdo non tea drinker - haven't drunk it since I stopped getting it in a bottle about 1967 :o

Partial to a wee scone noo and then tho :)

Ragin we can't use sexnet

Is there a child of the 60s/early 70s who wasn't raised on tea (with sugar, of course)?

Help yourself to scones

probably not - better than fruit shoots and irn bru maybe. Although it was all Bon-accord and Alpine back in those days....or Fresca or was it Cresta?

God I remember the Alpine man!

Pineapple crush was the best!

spits out tea at "sexnet"

Where did Justine say 'yes'?

whoop whoop

I mind alpine limeade was toxic green bloody stuff glowed in the dark

I remember the limeade too. None of your diet stuff in those days either. no wonder we all had mouths like ancient graveyards.

We had the Bon Accord van - it used to come round our way on a Friday night, with the naughty lads sitting on the back of the flat bed truck, legs swinging, fag in the corner of their mouth and not even hanging onto the side. I was a naice girl from a naice neighbourhood - it was thrilling

You are wild Sirchen

one of my brothers was a bon-accord boy for a while - he also did the milk and tatties - we did all the paper rounds and one of the Sunday runs involved sitting in the back of the van with the doors open jumping out to deliver the paper and then catching it back up and jumping back in.....it was thrilling - wouldn't be allowed nowadays :o

I really am

I wonder if your brother was one of the BA boys I used to lust after admire for his work ethic? Aberdeen suburbs by any chance?

Definitely wouldn't be allowed nowadays - all this health and safety nonsense. I'm sure they weren't that many accidents from boys falling off of the back of the vans at speed

Oh get sirchenjin lusting after the bon accord bad boys

No Sir, Edinburgh and he wasn't really lust material :o Lovely bloke with a great line in chat and never without a girlfriend, but he wasn't a handsome lad, also ginger.

There wasn't so much traffic on the road in those days so chances of being run over by following cars were much reduced :)
