Crisis at the Castle

[expatinscotland]

BBC4.

Anyone watching?

Haaahaa.

What do these people expect? Want the rainbow, gotta put up with the rain!

The SIL is kind of a shit .

what the HELL does 'book ass' mean?

Oh, gawd, how to define that! It's a bit like trying to define 'dicksmack'. 'Book ass' isn't necessarily a negative thing, and certainly not when it comes to Liz, because she is a savvy businesswoman.

It's just, well, hey, she spins the dosh on those estates. And why not? They're not cheap to run, and people all over the world will come and pay top whack for the experience if you know where to find them.

Either that or marry an Aristotle Onassis type.

That's life!

not a clue

I'm with Henry - spin the golden thread, live in the community and get the local support behind you, and then maybe live in the place when you're older or restore one of the houses on the estate and park your ass there whilst you work on keeping those punters going.

It doesn't happen by itself.

Hmm, book ass.

'A scrub is a guy who thinks he's fine
And he's also known as a 'bus stop'.
Always talkin' about what he wants
And just sits on his book ass.'

Does that help?

That's a TLC song.

It's originally a black term.

dont forget the duchess of northumerland set up a charity so we could all contribute to her scheme then turned off the water in Alnwick while she got the fountains connected...but they still doff their caps to her and hubby...weird

Oh, yes, and the tales I have heard from many of hte Earl of Mansfield's - Scone Palaces - tennants.

He's a real winner.

I'm NO fan of the aristrocracy, btw.
