A few random bits from a quick visit to Dundee the other week, starting at the harbour: http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb282/LuckyPoet/DSCF7118-29-Edit_zps6c2ad59f.jpg (You wouldn't have guessed.)

I've only watched the Edinburgh one so far, it struck me as very, very, sad. Money really does not bring you happiness & old age can be a sea of loneliness for some. I believe one of our mods is personally acquainted with some in the folk in that edition. They sound quite fun to me. Used to spe...

Ah, the trams. They did of course finally start running, and I was somehow persuaded to think it was a good idea to get up at five in the morning to go see the first one.

Anent the new Forth Road Bridge with the rather silly name, I went along a couple of weekends ago for a wee look at the progress. This was at South Queensferry, but it can go in this thread. (Usually North Queensferry gets lumped in with its bigger southern almost namesake, so it makes a change for ...

'Be excellent to each other' seems to be about it, for Universal Unitarianism. And why not.

Indeed, sir. Indeed.

:D Is it wrong that I'm jealous of a 4 year old? I had to be happy with pet rocks and uphill walks to school, there and back. I'm heartened by Muriel Gray's statement, and it's worth posting as a whole, I think: Statement from Muriel Gray After a sobering tour and inspection of the interior of the M...
