It irritates me when someone says something is almost exactly the same as something else. What?? Can't be both.

And also, how unique is something?

Well, it is unique or it isn't, there are no degrees of uniqueness.

I always find it interesting that free speech on the internet often comes with poor spelling. I earn enough to be able to afford more expensive speech, which comes with punctuation and correct grammar. You'd think someone would create some open source free speech where it was free but still had coherent sentences. Or maybe people only say they are using free speech because they are using speech which may actually be costly. Not to themselves but at the cost of others. Maybe it's not free at all.

As my mother once said to me "nothing in life is free, I'll tell you that for free". That's the philosophy I've lived by since.

My mother always used to say to me “get out or you’re staying in”

Holds back on joke about that being what your mother used to say to me but in a different context. Glad I didn't make the joke.

Usually always?

Your joke that you didn't make -

Clearly confused.

Weirdly normal.

Am i describing anyone here? . . .

What a pleasant bunch of commentators you have Kitty. The Derby board likewise is full of outstanding characters but sometimes, particularly during cup games we have been exposed to people who are VILE!

Where about? I cycled from Vatersay up to Lewis but didn't go past Stornoway. Went to the Stornoway Sea Anglers club instead and had a very strange night.

I'm in Uig, SW Lewis and 40 miles from Stornoway - we lead a quiet and contemplative life.......

You win best place to live.

Compemplative ! is that the same as contemptable ? I always get conferred !

how do you pernounce UIG anyways ?

How the fack else would you pronounce Uig??

Ah! Another Heb. Its Oo Ig. There is one on Skye as well just to avoid any confusion.......

Is it like WIG ?

keep your hair on Tosh !

You have to get the ferry if you want to go from Uig to Uig. But you'd have to drive to Uig first.

Is this one place or 3?

Uig, the name derives from the Norse word Vik meaning 'a bay'. Bhaltos (or Valtos) is the largest village in Uig and is home to about 35 people. Two smaller villages are Cliobh (Cliff), Cnip (Kneep).

Some good names there My fave is Cnip.

We are the knights that say.... Cnip!

To the other Heb,a serious question.I've never been that far north,would I be able to comprehend the accent ?

If Uig means "bay" then how come there's Uig Bay? Might as well call it bay bay. Then when ram guy is describing the weather where he is, he can say

Bay bay, it's cold outside

"Bay bay, it's cold outside"

The two Hebs - I want to see this in a match thread when we get going again

What ? Bay bay it's cold outside !

It's a load of Tosh !

and my name is Harlequin,everyone knows that !
