I'm reporting you to Hariet Harman and Trevor Phillips for Raaaaacism! And I don't mean "CF's porridge-wog mate.", whatever TF that means.
Racism occurs whenever somebody, ie me, percieves it; I percieve it so you are guilty, period.
Grrrrr CF! :¬)
Ootside ya bass, yir claimed!!
Excellent! What a hardy nation we are compared with your soft southerners.
I had my first BBQ yesterday and it fired up first time. Then it was Made in Scotland. :)
Rab, didnae gie him a hard time, he's a nice man, honest!
I'm the reverse of this... the hotter the better.
I've never experienced sunburn in my life and find the tropics wonderful (visited in summer of course).
Every time I see the advert about turning down the thermostat I notch it up 10 degs. I'm the climate's Enemy Number One
:)
