Re: Travel Recommendations: Ireland / Scotland
Ah man, that Scotland trip sounds incredible to me. Inverness is one of my favourite cities. If it's a nice day then just a wander up the river to some small islands is absolutely gorgeous. Near Glencoe there's also a small Nature Reserve that I did my dissertation research in. It has a walk that's ...

Re: Annoyances
When asking for my train ticket yesterday morning I was asked if I wanted a child's fare. When I was explaining this to my French colleague he said it was a compliment. I explained to him that actually, as a 24 year old, being told I look under 16 is not exactly a compliment. Gahh!

Was that the episode with John Sim playing the The Master? I loved that double episode. It was a triple episode I think. Simm was amazing. Anyone been watching the Great British Bake off?

Re: Scottish Independence, yes or no.
I voted English and no. If they vote for independence then I have no problems with that, my no is that I don't think it would make any sense for the Scots to become an independent country at this time.
