I never said he invented tarmac. But you can't have tarmac without the mac."Tarmacadam is a road surfacing material made by combining macadam surfaces, tar, and sand, patented by Welsh inventor Edgar Purnell Hooley in 1902."
Yeah...travelled in Scandinavia. They're man-eaters in Sweden.
It also annoys me that they cannot get it into their thick heads that Scotland is not subsidised by England but rather the reverse.
None of them can answer the obvious question. If Scotland is dependent and expensive why are they so desperate to hang on to us?
I was seeing an English girl for a while and, wanting to show her the sights of Scotland, we packed a tent in the Renault 5 and headed off into the wilds. A week away was cut short on day two. We were walking along a path by Loch Lomond when I heard a wailing from behind me I'd never heard before and thankfully have never heard since. I turned round to see her absolutely covered in midges and howling as she was eaten. You know those pictures of people covered in bees? It was like that but with a hundred times more midges - she was just a black, flailing, wailing figure. Poor girl. We rushed home and she dived straight in the bath but came up in awful purple blotches and lumps.
Midgies like English.
Aye, tough people the FinnsI lived in Finland. These things can carry off a small child and they repelled the Nazis and the Soviets.
Don't mess with Finnish Mozzies.
