...never mind the rapidly disappearing HS2 - the Romans are still searching for their 9th Legion, MIA (Missing in Aberdeen!)

 

Neepheid has them on Gumtree I believe - can deliver to Rome. 👍🤣

The Scots have never had much love for southerners - and that definitely included the Romans 😊

Hence the song, 'Roman in the gloamin', by the bonnie banks o' Clyde.'?

[Pea Turgh]

Dang and blast - stuck down at the last minute with something resembling the ‘Rona.  Was hoping I’d be miraculously cured this morning.  Alas, I was not.

 

Use that spare bubble wrap to send some leftovers to me?

 

Have a goodn’, chaps & chapettes.

No more Clydesdale Bank. Clyde FC still functioning (I think). The banks of the Clyde probably washed away by the rain up there yesterday.

I see all pubs in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire are having a free beer and nosh weekend 6th - 8th October. Thinking of heading up there right now. 🤣

[stewblack]

What an extraordinary day out that was.

Thank you to Mike and the Scrumpettes. You continue to build on the success of previous years. Wonderful. Enjoyed meeting you all so much, and missed those who couldn't be with us.

I confirmed my reputation as a soft touch where buying basses is concerned - as @Kateplaysbass put it - "don't ever play poker Stew". It was apparently obvious to others that I was going to cave in long before I had admitted it to myself.
