Comment on Foreigners 2 by Simon Varwell
Well put, Iain. I’ve heard it too once or twice, again from English people, who have said they’d leave. And it’s mystifying – why would a country need or depend on increased competences in order to...
View ArticleComment on Carcassonne and the fireworks by Willy peel
It is NOT Bastille day. It is Fete nationale. And for 700,000 people watch the fireworks would require 45 acres for the people and 400 acres for car parks. Carcassonne has neither available. Maybe...
View ArticleComment on Carcassonne and the fireworks by Simon Varwell
In English, it very much IS Bastille Day. This blog is in English. And I never said 700,000 watched the fireworks. Geez, if this is the tone you take when commenting on strangers’ blogs, I wonder what...

Hey! I know this is somewhat off-topic however I needed to ask. Does running a well-established website such as yours require a large amount of work? I am brand new to writing a blog however I do write...

An outstanding share! I have just forwarded this onto a coworker who was doing a little research on this. And he in fact ordered me breakfast due to the fact that I found it for him... lol. So allow me...

Yes, Simon, this is an important upside of self-publishing. For non-fiction authors especially, the ability to add/edit/update information, with new editions, can be a boon, too.
View ArticleComment on Cruises and murals by Gus Binnie
I have a grand view of the Moray Firth from my house. I’m well used to seeing rigs and oil-related vessels passing, but cruise ships always add a wee bit of variety. The most notable event was when the...

Couldn’t agree more Gus. Cruises sound like they’re a good thing to get in, but I’m dubious as to how much money really goes into Invergordon itself, never mind the surrounding area.

View ArticleComment on A horrible time to be in Scotland by Simon Varwell
Hello Joanna, thanks for your comment. That’s spectacularly off-topic, but while I’m here, it’ll be paid for in the same way things are paid for now or indeed in any country across the world: through...

Great post Simon. Iain, I think that some of the Beatles themselves would tell a different story! As a band John, Paul, George and Ringo had a wonderfully productive 10 years or so. But from what I...

Comment on A horrible time to be in Scotland by Iain Todd
I disagree with the tweet because it does not reflect my experience or the many no voters I know. The independence debate has been great for scotIand. I love the fact that people want to debate the...

I agree with the statement in the original tweet, it’s a horrible time to be in Scotland because the debate has gone completely off track. I’ve not been on Facebook for weeks, and will not until after...
View ArticleComment on A horrible time to be in Scotland by Simon Varwell
Thanks for the latest round of great comments, folks. Iain/Michael, we’re perhaps starting to stretch the “UK as a band” metaphor! But one last thought – Iain, if Scotland is more like Mani, does that...
