A classy Valentine’s Day Football Extravaganza this morning…

Duke, a lot of good stuff in this picture. My person favourite was 'Our Marnie"

 

[Muttley]

No, not really. On a Monday night we sit together to watch University Challenge and Only Connect.

I struggle with links on Only Connect. I love University Challenge and Mastermind, I'm not bad on general knowledge.

No plan, but I'm single so it doesn’t mean much to me

Makes 2 of us, Single that is. There is hope for Peter Simon yet

 

[Muttley]

Not really, we enjoy watching them. All three of us in our house went to University, I studied English, and my husband and son studied Chemistry. We just like to see how many questions we can answer, keeps our brains young.

My formal education isn't as good as I'd like it to be and I didn't get the opportunity to go to university. But I'm always trying to learn, history is a favourite subject of mine. I'm often in museums and galleries and the big ones in London are all free. And I occasionally read some classic literature on my Kindle (as opposed to my favourite author Agatha Christie). I'm going to Scotland next month so will start on Sir Water Scott's Waverley novels before I go. All the old stuff is out of copyright so you can get a complete set of novels for a couple of pounds.

If you see somebody with a lot of IW Products, you will know it’s Hammy

Is Skin Chemists new to IW? The 200ml vitamin C and peptide cleanser is £16.90 on Amazon with free postage and packing. Delivery 18th of February. IW it’s £2.99 postage and packaging with dispatch on the 21st of February.

As it was a brand I’d not heard of did a bit of poking around on Google. Company based at Tuscam Way Camberley. Thought the address sounded familiar, Doctors Formula Collagen drink same adddress.

Two different companies, same address, run by two brothers, the older one has Global Luxury Beauty ltd (Dr's Formula) & the younger brother has Skin Research Ltd (Skin Chemists).

Remember to keep an eye out for wild haggis when up here. Very rarely seen, always in the wild, mainly in the hills and glens.

If you ask for a 'haggis whistle' in any gift shop, some of them still stock these, helps to draw the haggis out of hiding.

I'm going to Edinburgh so I think I'll be safe (at least, I hope so)!

There’s something deeply sinister about Pedro’s face in this photo. Imagine gazing into those eyes across a candlelit Valentines meal deal!

And him whispering those immortal words, "Go on, 'av a feel".

Ah, so I assume its a pre-facelift with the slightly different grill, headlights without the little bumps in for sidelight bulbs.



I recall skateboarding or roller skating being involved.



Can she not be returned under money back guarantee?

I think she came from TJC and moved to IW. Cant watch or listen to her
On another note, has anyone noticed how many items on IW and TJC are on pre order. Its at least two weeks before you get your items and as Pete says "good luck if you get it"

Isn’t it awful that we don’t trust anything the IW shysters say and that we have to “investigate” the products they sell. Skin research selling the cleanser for £68 on their website but you can get a 60% discount if you download a coupon from one of the voucher websites. So for once it’s cheaper at IW

They're not dangerous tbh. I think there are some ultra feral ones that live near the castle and Princes Street gardens so you might be in luck.

 

[Alex Knowles]

Good evening everyone! I hope all is well, everyone’s families are good and you are set for the weekend. I’m back from holiday so just checking in to say hello as I have been away for a couple of weeks. It’s nice to be back.

Muttley, really envious of you. I usually manage to have a week in Edinburgh every year, usually March or September, but may not manage it this year. It’s such a beautiful city, always manage a visit to the Zoo, St Giles Cathedral and a few of the Museums and Art Galleries. And always afternoon Tea at the Dome! Have a wonderful time!

Thanks so much! I went with my mum about 15 years ago and we really enjoyed it. Well overdue for my second visit. The museums and galleries are on my list, and probably the castle as well. My hotel is fairly near the cathedral and if it's not too cold I'll think about the zoo. And afternoon tea sounds lovely! Thanks for the recommendations, always appreciated. I won't leave it so long next time I go

You've got me worried now

 

[Samki]

You've got me worried now

Here is a young, feral irn bru haggis

When visiting Edinburgh you should do this. Climb to the top of Calton Hill in the evening. Stand, arms outstretched, and shout at the top of your voice ...

It's a braw bricht moonlicht nicht the nicht​

I think I've seen that one before near Oban, it's the nose that gives them away.
