Snow (finally!) here in the Outer HebridesLast weekend we (finally) had snow here on the Island of Berneray (pop: 124) and other parts of the Outer Hebrides. It rarely snows here, and was informed that this was the deepest snow for the last 11 years.Various residents scuttled out to get pictures; my other half got a set of the island under snow: http://www.flickr.com/photos/scotproof/sets/72157603840309945/ ...which includes: 
Have put up and linked through to a selection of other snow pictures from last weekend, by various Outer Hebrides residents, on my blog: http://www.silversprite.com/?p=449 Is there anyone on this forum who lives, or visits, the Outer Hebrides who managed to get good snow pictures last weekend? Please do put them online / point to them. It's a pretty rare event, and if the global warning folk are right, then it may be even rarer in the future. |

Welcome silversprite.
Not been much of it around this year at all, but hey, it's still only February. |
| Blackadder |
The 3 auld hens ... Mairead, Carol and Babygael (to whom, welcome back!) |
| carol |
damn you BA I'm a spring chick 
welcome silversprite btw regards Carol |
| Blackadder |
Deluded! Completely deluded! 
|
| carol |
stop chasing me around the forum!! |
| Blackadder |
If you were the last woman in the world, I wouldn't chase you.
In fact ... Macnumpty would probably be a better prospect!!! |
| carol |
BA are you bent 
|
| Blackadder |
If you were the last woman in the world ... absolutely!
And you show your upbringing by referring to homosexuality in that way. I'm not sure gay people like that particular expression coming from straight people. |
| carol |
so it's ok for us to be called straight??? |
| Blackadder |
Well maybe not you ... according to your own words... you're more of a round! 
|
| carol |
voluptuous BA
got a weight check at the surgery this morning, it's never changed from 2 weeks ago 
so I'm to drink more water (helps metabolism apparently) and take 'free' foods ie soup. and sugar free jelly
|
| Blackadder |
Here's a helpful hint ... chocolate is not like water.
Pity that! |
| carol |
I'm not open to temptation
|
| Blackadder |
Yes you are ..... it's just obviously not the right kind of temptation, that's all! |
| carol |
c'mon tempt me with something
|
| Blackadder |
Not in my remit! Seek elsewhere! |
| carol |
I'm not desperate! |
| Blackadder |
That's not the impression you positively radiate! |
| carol |
......... and his lordship comes across like a wet blanket |
| Blackadder |
And you appear to lack the gene that allows understanding of how language (at least the written part) operates.
Oh look ... I'm on top. How'd ya like them apples, Carol? |
| carol |
rosy 
|
| carol |
apologies to Silversprite we seem to have run away with this thread, stunning photos btw
regards Carol |
| Blackadder |
Glad you apologised. It WAS all your fault anyway you know!
|
| carol |
we know you never take responsibility for your actions
if you were a 'man' you would stand up and be counted, you kicked off first
|
| Blackadder |
That has nothing to do with me being a man ... though still technically superior to you! This is all down to you, Madam Peasant!!! |
| mairead |
Aye maybe, but there are some very clever peasants around.
You see m'lud, that is something your class of folk underestimate which shows how stupid many of you are and why there is now a dearth of sensible upper classes. On the other hand, my class of aristos, (which is much superior than yours,)realise the true worth of the peasant therefore we have those who serve us gladly while you Blackadders are left with the Baldricks of this world. Mind you, being a mere Lord, one step higher than a peasant, or should I say a higher grade of peasant, I doubt if you will understand.
|
| carol |
when beat BA retaliates with his peasant abuse BRAVO BA |
| mairead |
Aha, so someone else has the Blackadder taped? D
|
| Blackadder |
Gonna jump down, spin around, pick a bale of cotton, gonna jump down, spin around, pick a bale a day |
| carol |
have you forgotten your meds BA? some strange rattlings coming from your cage 
|
| mairead |
Wow, he sure seems to me somewhat strange these days Carol. |
| Blackadder |
Strange? No not really ... calm, unperturbable ... even mellow. |
| mairead |
And I don't think. Try wild, raving and out of your head. |
| Blackadder |
Jeez ... you two sure gave up this thread rather quickly. What's wrong ... run out expletive deletives at home? |
| mairead |
Na, just ran out of a target, but you're back so no worries
|
| Blackadder |
How easily the peasants make targets of their betters. But how else would they direct their perry jealousies, bile and spite? So I guess I perform a service here. Otherwise Carol and Mairead would be out committimng crime after crime after crime! |
| mairead |
It's not difficult to make fun of uppity lords. They leave themselves wide open to it. |
| carol |
I'm innocent as always BA
After all i've been groomed for the last few months by you
|
| mairead |
Innocent, aye right, I suppose it was all me then
|
| Blackadder |
Yes it was you all along! With you partner-in-crime, Carol the Barrel! |
| mairead |
Moi? never
|
| Blackadder |
Vous! Always! |
| carol |
BA I'll Carol the Barrel!! all the more for flattening you one!! |
| Blackadder |
Well ... you could, couldn't you? I'd just better make sure I never trip up in front of you!
|
| mairead |
You could be knocked down first. |
| Blackadder |
Then again ... I'll probably avoid her with a burst of speed that's beyond her! |
| carol |
I could fall out with you
|
| Blackadder |
We never fell IN!!! |
| carol |
best of enemies!
|
| Blackadder |
As Roy Orbison used to sing ... You Got It!!!
|
| carol |
is it true best of enemies make good bedmates? ............ Macnumpts may be up for offers try him
|
| Blackadder |
Not in a year of Sundays for him ... and not ever ever ever for you! |
| carol |
I'm a looker BA honest ......... a slightly overweight one
regardless i'm not into those who live in cloud cuckoo land behind a psuedo |
| Blackadder |
Slightly??? |
| carol |
i carry it well
|
| Blackadder |
Heavy-duty corset, eh?
|
| carol |
not quite
|
| Blackadder |
Floppy belt then? |
| carol |
would you like flattened
|
| Blackadder |
If you rolled along, I probably would be! |
| carol |
I'd bounce I'm lighter than you think
|
| Blackadder |
So ... you equate yourself with a balloon?? No argument there then! |
| carol |
you nitwit since when do balloons bounce
|
| mairead |
He's a bit confused there I think. Confusing his balloons with his balls.
|
| Blackadder |
You've never bounced balloons? Must be a boy thing. I suggest you try it before you make erroneous comments. |
| mairead |
Bounced Balloons. Must indeed be a boy thing, a very little boy thing. |
| carol |
maybe he's meaning rubber ones
|
| Blackadder |
Carol, I can't believe that out of 10,000 sperm, you were the quickest! |
| mairead |
You are sooooo rude BA.
|
| Blackadder |
Not rude ..... I just cut to the chase! |
| mairead |
Well, what more should one expect from a member of the Blackadders I suppose. Cruelty and viciousness being their stock in trade. |
| Blackadder |
In our case .. stock AND trade.
|
| mairead |
I won't even ask what you trade in as I would no doubt be horrified by your reply, (which you will no doubt give me anyway.) |
| Blackadder |
Sorry ... the Blackadder businesses (which are all doing very well) are not up for debate here! |
