You're brilliant, Emdee, well done! Right enough, I did show it to my eldest teenager and he was heard to mutter "Old foagy"

[EMDEE]

Aye, maybe!

I know that Mrs emdee bought me the book "Grumpy Old Christmas" by Stuart Prebble last Christmas, and I read it in two nights and could identify with almost everything in the book.

Aye, I got 'Grumpy Old Women' and I was exactly the same!!!!!

A lot of people ask me if my pupils' work is affected by mobiles and texting. To be honest, I can't say that their actual essays or edited work is affected BUT most definitely, there has been a big effect on the use of punctuation. I am an apostrophe demon in particular!!!! Because they don't punctuate in text it has got lost in their written work and THAT does upset me.

Just another licence to print money for the Government and to hit the motorist as per usual....

I know the £60 fine might not be enough for people to stop but I would have thought the 3 points on your driving licence would deter people....

The Police should be cracking down on the rest of the nutters driving on the roads.... The amount of people I see driving in Campbeltown who dont use indicators and seem to like shunting the car next to them to leave a parking space is beyond belief

Maybe just a way of life..... And not enough parking spaces

At least there is a set of traffic lights now for people to get used to, especially when sitting their driving test, it must have been murder for all these years without a set

They could start with the moron who was driving the Reliance prison transfer van down to the toon a couple of weeks back.

I was coming back from Tarbert and slowed to take the left hand turn onto the Skipness road and the idiot decided it was perfectly ok for him to move completely onto the on-coming side of the road and overtake me, right on the turn, rather than wait a couple of milliseconds till I'd gotten out of his way. Tw@t!

If ever there could have been a Vestas artic coming the other way at that moment...
