How does that even work, do you do prop bets based off the run of play?Quote:

That's where in Scotland I'll be staying the next nights as we do the NC500, if anyone has recommendations for things to do along the route it'd be appreciated although we've got plenty as it is. My main plan is to meet Scarlett Johansson on the A9.
Ullapool is brilliant.Quote:

Let me know how it is - I may well give it a go myself later in the summer.
That looks lovely but how often would you actually get weather as nice as in those photos? Bit like here, we've got some nice beaches but never get about two days a year when you'd actually use them. And the water's still fucking freezing anyway.
We're going to Skye, Raasay is just a jumping off point in.
In Thurso now, we've climbed the island. :cool: Dunrobin Castle is fantastic as well.
The beauty is that it's never going to be hot. So if it's a cold but clear day you get the same enjoyment out of wandering along the beach enjoying the scenery.Quote:

Yeah who wants a beautiful beach to have hot weather.
You would be sat under an umbrella crying about the wi-fi.
I'd be swimming like a don whilst also throwing in a few handstands.Quote:

Dunrobin Castle was good. I remember some funny outhouse thing which had loads of taxidermy and things nicked from colonial outposts, like a sort of ultimate garden shed.
The boat tours in Zante are aids.
Jewsky: when we getting ONIT , lad?
You in Zante, lad?
Ja ja
Is Waffelz regressing in age?
That would be cool.
Yep, utterly bizarre, quite terrible and amazing at the same time.Quote:

Closest I got to you was St. Andrews, but you were off at some made-up place called Zante. I had hopes of finally bringing you and Magic together.Quote:

Don't walk up the bastard hill. It's shit at the top.
Portrush next week for the summer hols. Living it up like a boss.

It's glorious :drool:
I'm not doing anything tonight, meet you for a pint if you fancy?Quote:

Lol Spoon in the best planned trip to avoid everyone in Scotland.
Scotland is like TTH Meet wasteland (and every other kind of wasteland). James and Tobias used to shoot each other coy looks across the library; Fandan moaned like fuck about 'some prick in a fedora' blocking the shelves at the ale shop, only for it to turn out to have been Webly; and John could have got about half a dozen people together at any point over the past decade. There have been about three Belfast meets, and their parents used to blow each other up.
Firstly he was admiring my beer nerdery skills. Secondly that's a cruel way of wording it given I could obviously never pull off a fedora.
Did you ever meet Richie? I can't remember if he always chickened out or if it did actually happen.
There was a Belfast meet? And I only down the road cunts.
I was always offering. I spied him once outside of an exam, but I didn't want to give him an excuse to fail.Quote:

I'm still shocked I've never met the Leeds cunt. I'm in his hometown every week.
Your best bet would be to take him boozing after an argument at home, but on that road where he got GUBBED so he doesn't get too lairy.
I offered to take him home once when he ended up on his own drinking.
I was actually kerb crawling looking for him. Not sure if sinister. This was before he refused, which in my mind is ok.
Why would you bother? Were you out anyway?
Yes. Yes I was.
The thing is, I was drinking that night in my "local", about two minutes from home. Were you not at the cinema or something?
Sounds dodgy. Your arsehole thanks you for the smart decisions you made.Quote:
