Aural honey Yeah, I'm a little ashamed to admit that for more years than I care to recall, I always had Eddie on from 5pm rather than the BBC Scotland offering - no matter who was presenting it. Pleased to have now reconnected with him on LBC. I also agree with Welshbairn that he would have been an obvious choice to replace Dimblebum on QT but I guess Eddie had fallen out of favour with them when the gig came up.

Shandon Par Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 6 hours ago, Hedgecutter said: For the last week I've had a malt whisky advent calendar (a 500 ml bottle every day) and I've had the dilemma of whether or not all advent calendar contents must be consumed in the morning. I decided yes. Nothing like toast and a double Talisker to start the working day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Richelieu Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I appreciate this is c***s on a bus to the airport rather than a c***s at airports story, but I'm currently getting treated to some old guy (who I suspect is half cut) massacring various Xmas carols (he's currently on Oh Come All Ye Faithful), although in fairness, his "rumpa pum pum " in Little Drummer Boy was pretty good. This wouldn't normally bother me except it's him driving the bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Wilson Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 The reports on tv all have people lying on the floor, sitting on bags or looking forlornly at the departure boards. Does no-one go for a pint any more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 26 advertised eating and drinking places, including coffee shops etc, then there are a few just outside. I think, some of the time, you could get out of your sleeping bag on the foyer floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit old to be falling for that guff. I had my doubts when I started primary school and our Santa looked suspiciously like the lollipop man. [ It was!

I hope that couple sue them and receive substantial damages. There was some police chief interviewed on radio the other day and asked what progress had been made. "Well," said he, "We've ruled out terrorism in this case, and our enquiries are ongoing" "How can you rule out terrorism if you've no idea who was responsible for flying these drones?" asked the reporter. At that point our enlightened police chief just began waffling, incoherently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect the papers are about to be sued for lottery-scale amounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
