The poor engineer had to come over in the Dunoon ferry due to those idiots closing the road again. I am not an engineer but I honestly believe that this idiotic digging of pits has just destabized the whole thing and made matters a whole lot worse than it was before they started. If we […]

I just got an order from Array Fish from Inveraray. When they started delivering it was just Fish, but now they are doing all kinds of other stuff including vegetable boxes and organic local milk. The Argyll economy could frankly use a major boost after all this nonsense has gone on so I am supporting […]

R accused me of having a privileged up bringing. So just to set the record straight. My grandparents on my mother’s side lived in a one room tenement in Dumbarton. My grandfather was a builder’s labourer. In the 1930s he would need to get up every morning and see whether there had been frost. If […]

Another feature of modern life which I frankly detest. The word for a dramatist of the female gender is “actress” A male police person is a “police man” and a female one is “police woman”.

It even started to snow a little at ground level but it has largely turned to slush now.

Afraid I haven’t posted for a while but I am going to get back into it now. I’ve not been very well and those total idiots in the government gave me a huge extra piece of work to do. Basically I had booked a lovely little lodge at Drymsynie for my parents and brother. At […]

Very sorry to do this because it was me that asked them to deliver in the first place. But they need to come via the A83 which looks as though it will be shut for the foreseeable future. This is a national disgrace and I don’t know what I am paying my taxes for. I’ve […]

This is what in Roman times they used to do to people who killed their parents. According to Cicero… He doesn’t mention the animals sewn into the sack but apparently it was generally a dog, snake, monkey, and a chicken or rooster, “They therefore stipulated that parricides should be sewn up in a sack while […]

R and I have asked people to keep to a minimum of presents this year. I would like a little glass animal (I have a collection) and R would like a bottle of whisky. The balance of what people would have spent I have asked them to donate to either the Cats’ protection or the […]
