    I don't work for anyone, but I'm in daily contact with 10-15 people who do the same thing. I wouldn't want to (probably couldn't) do it strictly solo.

    This is my second international trip. A few of us went to Hong Kong to bet on some domestic stuff last year and it was fairly profitable.

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

    Yes. You can usually perform some fairly sound guesswork when betting on a poorly priced game from home, but being the only one in the market who's actually at the game is generally a big edge.

    Thurso - Ullapool - Isle of Raasay (x2) - Fort William

    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.

    You're going to drive through my hometown (Dingwall) too.

    You're also going to pass right pass Skye (island) without going to it, which is a bit of a shame. Google suggests Achmelvich beach, which looks fantastic.





    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. 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.

    I went to st Ninians isle in Shetland about ten times when I was there. Not once was it warm/sunny but that doesn't detract from it being absolutely beautiful.

    I used to go to Findhorn Bay and also Roseisle beach up in Moray, and they are both bloody great in any kind of even cold sunshine.

    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.

    Yep, utterly bizarre, quite terrible and amazing at the same time.

    Stayed two nights on the Isle of Raasay which was superb, now in something called glamping pods near Ft. William. I've lost all track of days and places tbh.

    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.

    Glamping if Fort William sounds just about the most depressing thing imaginable.

    Don't walk up the bastard hill. It's shit at the top.

    I'm in the south of France. Armagnac territory. I've had two BBQs in two days, and spent yesterday afternoon in a hammock, reading.

    It's glorious

    It was actually in Kinlochleven. Much nicer I assume. Also a huge ice climbing wall which looked pretty sweet.

    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.

    I was always offering. I spied him once outside of an exam, but I didn't want to give him an excuse to fail.

    And now he's dead.

    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 was actually kerb crawling looking for him. Not sure if sinister. This was before he refused, which in my mind is ok.

    The thing is, I was drinking that night in my "local", about two minutes from home. Were you not at the cinema or something?
