Dave, dogs have owners -- cats have servants.

This is our mistress.

I agree with what's been said above. The museum is not what it was, unfortunately. But it is the Centre of New Enlightenment which has been nominated. I haven't seen it and not much likelihood of me getting down to have a shufty for quite a while. Has anyone here been to it?

Hi Wullie! Lola sounds like quite a character. Hope your girls live long and happy lives with you. If I come across any pics of the boys I'll post them here. They were characters too. Every morning they would be at the top of their tank waiting on their toast. They looked so cute sitting there munch...

Wonderful, Saltirepride. Here's a pic of one of our boys. Sorry about the quality. We had three too. All boys. Great pets. I can only find a pic of one of them. This is Basil, the other two were Dr Dawson and Fidget. We all loved them, even the cat. She would spend hours in front of their tank watch...

I sold tickets at the cannon as it then was and used to sit looking at it all day.there was protests outside it every saturday but you couldnt ge...

This is a wee bit off topic but . . . I've been researching my family tree and but for the resourceful people at Tayside Police would not have a photograph of my great grandmother. A few years back an archivist had been working there and she wanted to throw out all the old mug shot books from the tu...

Thanks mrsam. I lived on Huntly Gardens for a wee while and the picture reminded me of it. Many thanks for the offer of a pint. If we're ever in Stirling we'll let you know.
