          In my experience "somewhere" is invariably the place with all the handpumps. :)

            I noticed the quality of the Lounge posts is increasing again. As it is an continuous uphill battle, we should all be grateful to Scotland and some other thereabouts. :)

                I can't comment on the hats, but I can tell you that the Scots are the most miserly peasants on the planet. Furthermore, they always vote Labour (idiots), think deep fried Mars Bars are fine cuisine (heart attack victims), think the bagpipes sound good (tone deaf) and will quite happily draw the dole, live on council estates and otherwise be a bunch of useless wasters (until they get independence. I'd love to see Alex Salmonds' face when he finally realises what he's been fighting for). In other news: cunts. Another naughty word.

                    If by "great" you mean "miserly" and by "people" you mean "gits" I heartily agree. If you don't mean that, I'd recommend wearing a Celtic shirt in a Rangers bar just to see how "great" they are :)

                          It occurs to me that it might be worthwhile for us to gather funds to donate for the installation of streaming video servers and cameras in the pubs Dave frequents. I believe that this would ensure an unending supply of entertainment on Fridays for all of us. We might even consider editing a "Best Of" video for publication!
