Good question especially as it seems so real and you can hear it....go figure. Last time I was in the Caymen Islands it was wall to wall Americans but you can join me for a while when I buy my place in Mauritius.

Well that counts the Cayman Islands out then. I have an aversion to Yanks. Soon or later they turn everything into a slum. They are the undisputed champion in the tournament of ar$eh0les.

Like Marvo, I'm quite enjoying this thread, so here's a few more from me.

1. My first car was a mark III Ford Cortina Estate (not by choice but I loved it)
2. I used to have a crush on Mike Edwards of Jesus Jones fame
3. I like mainly electronic music (particular favourite styles are 80's and trance) but I can listen to almost anything apart from opera and the many flavours of metal (with one or two notable exceptions)
4. I was the engineer who flipped the software switches and moved control of Lancashire Fire and Rescue from their old control room in Fulwood down to the joint North West control room at Warrington (and then caned it down the motorway with the server while the part of the system the company I was working for provided was running on a virtual machine)
5. I'm currently trying to learn to play the tin whistle (aside from the electronic stuff I like quite a bit of folk music)
6. One of my all time favourite sweets is the drumstick lolly
7. I make awesome bramble jelly jam and rose hip syrup
8. I've eaten haggis at The Castle Tavern in Inverness
9. I'd like to get a kayak so I can spend more time on the river Wye up Monmouth way
10. I like knitting and crotchet and have knitted hats for the Innocent Smoothie bottles

Bonus factoid... my favourite biscuit is the chocolate chip digestive closely followed by Oreo cookies

10. Lego collector. Still got 40 year old models on display

Love it, I'd like somewhere to put my Technic cars and trucks

2. I used to have a crush on Mike Edwards of Jesus Jones fame

My wife and I both bought the "Doubt" album, on cassette, one month before we met. Also listened to EMF, Carter USM and PWEI back in the day

5. I'm currently trying to learn to play the tin whistle

I cant play a note on anything, but the kids are talented. Piano, guitar, bassoon, trombone. Luckily no drums or bagpipes.

8. I've eaten haggis at The Castle Tavern in Inverness

Well done, you. Others on here wont even try it.

I sense a new thread starting.

Doubt was easily their most successful album. Saw JJ live a couple of times, supported by Soho and Sunscreem. EMF, Carter USM and PWEI all have some space in my music collection as well. That was my clubbing period.

Well done, you. Others on here wont even try it.

Their loss. I won't lie, it was with some trepidation I tried it the first time (yes, I've eaten it more than once), but it was delicious.

haggis are easily obtained in scotland. as they don't have legs, they can't run away, so even a drunken scot can catch them.

That shows your ignorance. Haggii (the plural of Haggis) actually have 3 legs. One side leg being shorter than the others to assist in running round the sides of hills.
The Haggis hunting season is relatively short. Only the month of January, and traditionally eaten on Burns night as that is when the adult Haggis is at its most tasty.
The Haggis are also farmed intensively, so you can enjoy haggis all year round.

Haggis=a glorified ------, which can be obtained in most Suppermarket freezer aisles, as can real Haggii for that matter, either way urgggh.

I like this, then again is there such a thing as a Sober Jock?

This week I learned that Haggis are Illegal in the US.

Thats probably because it has a vegetable content. Yanks only eat salads.
