Sale four is falling through since she is now asking if we can deliver. she has a van but can't get to Edinburgh to pick it up. She hasn't paid yet.

Packers Weekly, but close enough. Published after the sunday game and elivered to Edinburgh on the tuesday of that week.

It is a film about a fat man and a thin man playing pool.

I used to subscribe to a weekly magazine from Wisconsin (yes, Packers related) and due to USPS bulkmail procedures I got mine in Edinburgh before most people in mainland US did.

Enzo, I think that is a great plan. Do you want to run my US franchise?

Mrs B and I occasionally sell things on e-bay, old books cds etc. nothing of value, just to clear shelf space. About 3 months ago we listed a china cabinet and a bookcase, as they were furniture we made it clear how big they were and that the buyer would have to collect. Both sold for about £8 each....

Meanwhile Schalke 04 have managed to upset Muslims.

They'll just have to go back to the old version entitled "Buddha, ya fat bastard."

Schalke played in Edinburgh a couple of years ago and I thought their fans were great, but then I'm not Muslim.

Ok, it was "In the Loop".

A more straightforward one:

" Fat man, you shoot a great game of pool. "

Prosections are being considered. Still no conclusive cause of death.

I didn't know the name but I recognise the music.

I have tried making them up before, it didn't work. I have tried using the UK National Insurance number (also 9 digits) but that didn't work. That was the time I couldn't get the drone on the other end of the phone to accept I wasn't in a US state. "But you're on the phone . . ." I have ha...

I have a deceased client who lived in Scotland but because his employer was US based he had a holding of their stock. Apparently a Form W-9 is required for something or other. First up there doesn't seem to be an option for the form to be completed by anyone other than the deceased. Oh well press on...

Hmm, possibly not well know across the pond. It is a satire of the US and UK becoming embroiled in a Middle Eastern war. Made in the last 18 months.

The character who says that line is based on a UK spin doctor.

James Gandolfini is in it.

I have lost track of whose quote it is, so to keep things rolling along: "Within your 'purview'? Where do you think you are, some fucking regency costume drama? This is a government department, not some fucking Jane fucking Austen novel! Allow me to pop a jaunty little bonnet on your purview an...

Le Tour went along the valley beneath it yesterday and the tv helicopter did a flyby of this place.

Mactep, I would be jealous but I spend my time on cablecars counting heads and dividing the load limit by that, then checking for fatties . . .

How good does this look?

Ok, I can't see what I've done wrong with the link.

Fixed. -Lance

I watched the moon landing in a holiday cottage in Durisdeer in Dumfries and Galloway. Some years later Neil Armstrong visited the village as it is claimed that is where his scottish ancesters lived. ETA: The BBC article refers to them as "Mr Armstrong, Mr Aldrin and Mr Collins". How odd. ...

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit drinking.

And you you sail past North Berwick you are furth of the Firth of Forth. :D

Well he rode it out (in a manner of speaking) and didn't have to resign.

I'm not sure how happy Mrs M is these days.

I thought the US was who the "we" was supposed to be in your post. In any event, of the others that come to mind, only Heid has nuclear weapons, Halcyon Dayz and Arneb don't. We don't, the UK does. As soon as we fire the explosive bolts and drift off into the North Atlantic we'll be free ...

It's that benchmark thing again isn't it?

They seem to be strapping explosives to a sledgehammer, then strking a metal plate to ensure a good, clean detonation.
