Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
Many years ago a neighbour of a friend went round the bend and disappeared for weeks leaving her front door open. Nothing was ever stolen from the house. I was carted off to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary in the air ambulance last month (see The Ricardian Saga in Sick Bay & Health Issues) and was away fr...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
The cattle have been released from the barns where they've spent the winter. They were so excited at first but it is quite chilly and its been drizzling on and off all day and, just to make the picture complete, the haar has clamped down this evening. Yes, I noticed that 'your' flight had to head b...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
My cousin and his then girlfriend drifted into a bar in Ireland on a Sunday. The bar keeper drifted over and announced "I'm sorry, I can't serve you now, it's Holy Hour" "Not a problem", they said, understanding. A few minutes later, polishing a glass, he drifted back "Would ye like a drink while y...

Re: Friday Jokes
Phrases and sayings that begin with “You know you live in Orkney when.......”. Here are a few examples: You find trees fascinating and stare at them in amazement.

On arrival in Britain, I drove to London and made my way to the main dealer to buy a clutch cable. On arrival, ther...

Re: Friday Jokes
An airline has revealed that British holidaymakers drank all the booze on a 4-hour flight to Turkey in just 25 minutes - a much needed post-Brexit boost to national pride.

Re: My first car
I believe the Orkneys and Shetlands didn't have roundabouts in the test because there weren't any. Ricardian can perhaps advise. There are now one or two roundabouts on mainland Orkney. However, back in the 1970s we lived in Brora, Sutherland. In the whole of Sutherland there were no roundabouts or...

Re: It has been a wet April!
Those stones look as if they need a coat of paint Ricardian! Not stones, very few of those kicking around. They are old ammunition boxes filled with sand or sand/cement, the SWOs pride & joy. But yes, they will need a coat of paint before the next AOCs. AOC MEAF was Johnny Johnson, notoriously "pic...
