That is a TRUFFLE too much of a question for a talking boat John, Iain

Hi Folks, We get some weird and wonderful names for Christmas Ales etc. However, IYHO which do you think are best for drinking this year? I have sampled Thwaites "Yule love it!" a 4% ABV and it disappeared very quickly! Iain

Has there been a dancing contest on TV? Footy was on at the same time thank goodness! Iain

I remember my Mother cooking cod roe, the smell was awful, know wonder the cats queued out the back door for the stuff...yuck! Iain.

Right then, WHO is cutting/mowing the lawn? Iain

Shall I repair your impotancey Charlie? Ohhh err! Iain.

Brilliant Poppy Iain.

DPD I have always found excellent and deliver every time in the designated time slot. My Hermes, I am like Strowies agent, he has been with them for several years and always delivers direct, or where we have asked a parcel to be left. He even knows to wait while I get my old bones to the door! Cannot fault them. Iain.

Panic not folks, EASTER EGGS are on sale! Adverts soon on TV! Iain

The Russians like Robert Burns, Poppy You have been warned!!! Iain

Who??? are Man U? Ah yes, the next club to hand out millions to a sacked Manager....maybe? Iain

Way back in March 2006 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/4845260.stm it all started up here. So it will soon be the 10th anniversary of cleaner air in all eating places. I say cleaner not clean, as those indoor grill places sure do SMOKE ! Iain.

Amongst all the smoke on this thread...."Welcome Back, Tim" I hope you are well. Iain

Just for you, Howard

Like them or not..Wetherspoons are still opening new pubs all over the country. So smoking has not closed all the pubs down. Just a thought. Iain

Washed down with finest Champagne or Blue Label Vodka! Ray? Enjoy! Iain

Hi Paul, There was a poll up here on the choice of names, and the Queensferry Crossing came out tops. Very appropriate really, as it used to be a ferry between North and South Queensferry. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-23047293 I hope to be there this time next year when it opens. Iain

Once call me Dave comes back from Brussels, I am sure he will sort it out! Iain

Informing medical staff that HE knew what was best, Ian, was not a good idea IMHO. Iain

A nice little earner being sacked from Chelsea!!! a £18 million pay off!!!!!! Allegedly. Iain.

Good point , but, as the thread began in a "pub" thread, it has stayed there. I was a heavy smoker when younger, but stopped in March 1993. I cannot speak for all, but anything that is hopefully improving the quality of air we breath,then I am all for it! My mates two girls make him stand outside their homes, when he has a puff on his pipe. Its all about choice IMHO. Many Wetherspoon pubs have a outside smoking area. Iain.

Not pub related, but has been mentioned. This was passed today up here in Edinburgh at the Scottish Parliament. http://www.lawscot.org.uk/news/2015/12/law-society-welcomes-ban-on-smoking-in-cars-with-children/ Iain

Quite brilliant Steve Iain.

Thanks Alan my brain is fagged out tonight! Iain

With so many pages Howard, its not an easy task to split the thread up,interesting as it is, well for me it is! sorry. Maybe the whizz kids can shift things around? Iain.
