  1. The SNP's "Blogger-gate" rumbles on - http://is.gd/5tLQC - this time in a Scottish Borders Council.
  2. The lovely and elegant new 787 jetliner from Boeing takes to the air - http://is.gd/5rQ42 - I look forward to flying in it one day!
  3. Mark MacLachlan also posts - http://is.gd/5r8Qx - on legal issues relating to his mobile telephone and what's left of his reputation.
  4. Mark MacLachlan (formerly aka "Montague Burton") lets fly at his former SNP boss Mike Russell - http://is.gd/5r8Cu - explosive stuff!
  5. "Attack" blogs hotly debated today in FMQs Scottish Parliament - Salmond and Gray going at each other hammer and tongs. Most amusing.
  6. Does anyone really care anyway? http://is.gd/5lrCo - I have to say I am completely indifferent, & I doubt any laws have been broken.
  7. What we're not supposed to mention in the UK - http://is.gd/5lrCo - so naturally I'm not mentioning a thing!
  8. A plateful of seared scallops and a salad for supper, accompanied by a glass of 'Entre-deux-Mers'; not a bad way to pass a December evening.
  9. @David_Farrer Dubai is no surprise - I wrote about it in January and even that was 'after the event'. This dip has some way to go yet I fear
  10. @gospain Besides which I speak French fluently so use dictionaries only to clue myself in to relatively esoteric vocab. and details
  11. @gospain I know what you mean ;) , but I still appreciate having a massive paper dictionary to pore over like a good novel, for hours.
  12. @gospain No, it is OUP - these are paper dictionaries btw - only online one I use is basic Engish OED (I have Shorter Oxford in paper)
  13. @GoSpain I use Concise Oxford Fr/En and Harrap's Fr/En Dict of Slang and Colloquialisms.- a new edition of latter v important.
  14. Peter Mandelson and the "Digital Economy Bill" - http://is.gd/54ckU - an illuminating YouTube dissection.
  15. FMQs in the "wee pretendie Parliament" - http://is.gd/541ft - Salmond and others orate in a pretty empty Holyrood chamber.
  16. "This programme may upset some people" - http://is.gd/5409e - my rant on the blame culture that requires a warning as a legal protection.
  17. No demolitions in Murcia (Spain) under "Coastal Law" in coming months - http://is.gd/53cAf
  18. @JaeKay curious at the complete absense of Germany in the European 'blobs' - or indeed Austria. Thought it would be interesting - but no.
  19. Four decades after the Sexual Offences Act this kind of nonsense still happens?! -- http://is.gd/52Tew
  20. What did they do wrong? - http://is.gd/51380 - my take on the Brown/Cameron 'Field of Remembrance' Armistice Day so-called 'gaffe'
