For a wee while now I have been occasionally bleeterin' on about certain ales.
I am fair chuffed with this response from a local micro-brewery.
Which leads nicely onto this nonsense.
I recall a time when a certain 'co-operative' consisting of a Copper, a Nurse, a G.P. and a Social Worker helped each other out with childcare. Funnily enough, despite all that, all the weans appear to be well-adjusted.
p.s. Hat tip to the Loon for both links.
p.p.s. An Update.

Time for a skirl fae the loon o'er the happenings up in yon pairts.
First off there's little 'n' large. Go on guess which one interests me more? Staying on topic, this is just plain daft. Where on earth are you going to get a Scotsman to pay 10K for a comparatively wee bottle? As it happens, Glenfiddich is one of the few drams I would turn down anyway. Not for me, even if I had a hotline to Derren Brown. However, this does interest me.
Meanwhile a local brewery has a novel approach to helping tackle the country's binge-drinking culture.
Linking on the theme of alcohol, I liked this crumbly's honesty.
Conversely, as an antedote, the following story jumped out at me and in my best Sun headline mode I decided on: Little Toads!
Apparently, Sir Terry Wogan has said, "I can't go back to Toy Town™." As folk up here would say, "You big Jessie."It's now official, a heap of money has been lost in translation. Teaching English is not going to help when our visitors are confronted with the Doric!
..... and finally a word or two about our apparently shrinking ovine friends.
I started off this post whining about being fleeced, but there is only one winner in that category, especially as our roasting hot summer has done for a predecessor.
Dun.

I bump my gums periodically about all things related to Autism.
For a while I've been following Gary McKinnon's plight, so much so that I've started a sidebar widget just for him, so check it out.
I weep at the ignorance and intolerance in society, but I rejoice at the likes of this individual.

The little world of Toytowner's™ most 'famous' inhabitant has been in upheaval and continues to be so. As such I've had little time to update the blog, but here goes with some catch up.
This decision passed with a worldwide whisper once again!
It seems Mrs 'T' was not always a Unionist - well we knew that this side of our border!
I found this article from the Beeb professionally amusing if only for the completely non-diverse nature of the report. Easy now, having a dig at Poles and the Irish all in one article - naughty Auntie.
Some folk will make any excuse for taking a dram.
Certain constituents know just where they are not going to put their 'Y' at the next election.
The nanny state continues unabated with such classics (sic) as this. Keeping on the food tack, this is genuinely more worrying, if of no great surprise.
Equally I worried a bit about the degeneration in what used to be the pillars of society when I read this blurb. Role models? Perhaps they should look no further than the impressive Eddie Izzard.
Finally, for all acrophobics out there this made me wibble and wobble.

The trouble with going on holiday to the barren wetlands is that you miss some press cuttings.
Having said that, this did not come as NEWS to me.

... and here's a tip for all Ecomentalists (to quote Clarkson).Dried treacle, clothes and body hair form a tough bond, especially when the Polis try to search you!© Mr Plod

Intelligence received on 04/09/2009 provides that some 'motorists' think they are invincible.
Despite the presence of the Polis at this flash flood, some 'drivers' still decided they could forge on through the sypit streets.
Oops!
Fireman Sam was busy rescuing them all over the place.
