Your problem is that for some reason the embedding code doesn't like HTTPS. Just change the start of your URL from "https://" to "http://" and you'll be good. I've been fixing the problem whenever I notice it recently.

Thanks Eldo, for fixing previous and the info!

No problem, Petty. I'm here to help!

Couple of neds try to steal your car?- if your a 62 year old Scotsman the solution? jump in the boot as they are driving off and get the little buggers at the other end!

"A 62-year-old man jumped into the boot of his car while it was being stolen and was driven three miles across Edinburgh, it has emerged. Two teenage thieves targeted the Vauxhall Astra while the man was unloading the boot in Lochend Road at 08:40 on Friday 26 October. The owner jumped inside before the pair drove off at speed up Smokey Brae and along Duddingston Road West. The vehicle was involved in a number of collisions with other cars. The man managed to call the police from the boot of his car."- bbc

That's quick thinking!

He'll have been crabbit about it Eldo, and with the power of crabbit on your side you cant lose!

and if you were wondering why the English dont take Scottish Independence very seriously..

I hope he's wearing underwear, otherwise riding a unicycle wearing a kilt, ouch...

Looks like they have escaped from the Edinburgh Fringe! There really should be a shoot to kill policy at it.

I take it you don't go to arts festivals very often, Petty?

In general I like a festival- the Fringe however needs, culling a bit, thinning out.
I mean there are times when confronted by a bunch of sinigng Ozzies in yellow dungarees where a gun doesnt seem such a bad idea any more



And as for this lot, just their smiles leave me wishing I owned an uzi

Yes, we know how you are with things that bring joy to other people. Smiles! How very dare they?

{{{Just teasing. }}}

Drunken smiles are great- sober ones are sinister!

I'll assume that the smiley is drunk whenever you use it, then.

Everything I do on here is with a drunken smile Eldo- you should know that by now.

True, but sometimes it slips my mind.

You need reminders?! Not sure how much more I can mention buckie and my rampant drunkenness. But dont worry, for you, I shall try!

It's more that because you mention it all the time I just sort of filter it out after a while.

Seems my little town has its own sweary surrealist Scots comedians! All shot about town- Ive actually seen them out and about and wondered what the hell they were up to!

Strong language throughout (well what did you expect from my home town? )

Actually the accents sound to my ears like Americans attempting over the top parody scottish accents. You folks really sound like that?!

Its something I cannot hide Halfwise- the accent of my little town is a bit soft and lacking in harshness- no way round it.
This has the benefit of making us somewhat understandable to non-Scots but annoys other Scots.
When I first moved to Glasgow I had to modify my accent to be harsher and more guttural- as I nearly got in a couple of nasty fights first few times in pubs over Glasgowegians thinking I was either posh, trying to act smart or worse, thinking I was 'above myself' (asking for a chibbing doing that!)


Norc I suspect he is not even a real Scot- I mean he 1-is trying to use a proper toilet and not wherever is closest.
2. The kilt is at least a centimetre or two too short. Some sort of pervert I suspect!

Could be worse I could speak Doric like those east coasters.
