Book. Deffo. Not just a bloke-thing either cos the missus does it too.

Currently I'm reading 'The Time Traveller's Wife' which is excellent.

Cheers

Tried to buy something today but shop was closed! :cry:

Ironic that the shop actually is cheaper than B&Q! Will try again tomorrow.

I suppose mind you I should change my lunch hour! :cry: :wink:

Almost always take a book in with me. Its the only room in the house that I can get peace in (ie - its got a lock on the door). Plus the light's better for reading in there as well.

Yellow pages was always a good one to have for that Gary!

That's a better use for Yellow pages, especially with their advertising rates.

Tried the Yellow Pages once, wasn't that impressed, the story's awful and the characterisation - non existent & Its heavy and uncomfortable (if you're in for a while you could end up with a dead leg!?)

Plus, if the worst come to the worst - the ink runs :shock: :oops: :cry:

God :!: this sparked a bit of debate.

Don't know if I agree with the point about the shop which remained open and made very little money. Plenty of pubs and eateries have the same problem but they have to remain open.

Why don't they just do their books or something? OR sell their items on the internet! :wink:

I would agree Oban is totally different (and geared to a different market) but thought I would just raise it. :!: :!: Gotta go - off to Mull today! :lol:

I see from the web cam it is lovely in Campbeltown too! 8)

Have a nice time on Mull. My wife was back there a few days ago visiting friends and I'm hoping to get across to catch-up on what's been happening with some of my friends soon too.

Carradale's looking bright this morning too. Brighter than I feel after driving to Glasgow and back yesterday.

Cheers

:evil: :evil: What is it with Campbeltown?

Lead up to Christmas and I pop into the town for something - was about 12.45 and the damm shop is closed. :? I decide to head for a bite to eat and checked out some other shops (needless to say another one was closed!). I headed back to the shop about 1.35 and it was still closed so I promptly took my trade elsewhere! :twisted:

Wake up to your market! :evil:

What do you mean it was cheaper than B & Q? Can't be!! Must be inferior quality surely.
