Irn-Bru? Scottish Blethering Thread

MOD Note:
This is the CC Ecosse Blethering thread and is great for blethering about cycling, what we think of the weather, what rides we are doing/not doing, how we are feeling, how we came off
etc.
It's not really the place for arranging to meet one other person for a ride - that's what PM, social media, texts, phone calls (remember them
) are for, under the guidance given by Shaun, which is why I invited those having their own wee make-our-arrangements-over-the-main-forum to do it by one of the other means in the future. 
My apologies if offence has been taken - none is intended, only the smooth running of CC.

Surely...surely..
It's a blethering thread, no?
What part of blethering does someone not understand....
I may not be an active participant in the thread but enjoy having an occasional look at what's happening, its frustrating but keep going..
I'm sure the regulars on the thread want to continue reading your rotten patter (written in jest
)...

Not wanting to rock the boat or call 'shenanigans'
but I see some total waste of bandwidth going on elsewhere on the forum...
I joined the forum recently and found the friendliness and sometime laisse-fair attitude most refreshing to some forums I've come across
One of my favourite sayings, and one that I try to live by is attributed to Douglas Bader
I might be paraphrasing a bit but it's something like "Rules are for the guidance of wise men, and the blind obedience of fools".

Well, I'm gonna blether the nu @Scoosh 
Was in Edinburgh today, the morning started all wrong: ticket machine would not issue my online bought ticket, pal got locked into first train carriage (hey told us the carriage was to be left in Glasgow after we boarded
), lost my reflective rucksack cover some place at Queen street station, was told horror stories about the place I had to visit in the capital.
Anyhow
all turned round for the best: done my errand without aggro, it did not rain on us, got back to Waverly just in time for a return train, recovered my rucksack cover in Glasgow, jumped home on the bike before the afternoon monsoon started in earnest.
Thank heaven I've only got to go to that place every 10 years or so.
What place? The Italian Council!

Is this thread not a Scottish "Tea thread"? Pretty please, oh mighty Mod?"Rules are for the guidance of wise men, the blind obedience of fools - and the effective running of CycleChat ! ".

This thread is the perfect place for Louch and Tug's bromance
to blossom while they arrange cosy little rides... it's all part of the cafe ambience.

You can't take the chat out of the cycle ...
Don't leave CC, @Louch & @tug benson 
... CC Ecosse (both on here and out there in the real world) certainly wouldn't be the same without you!
Unfortunately, forums (like any other place where there is more than one person present) need some rules, and CC is actually pretty much as pleasant as the internet can be ... Even if we may not always like the Mods decisions (including myself here), they must be doing something right 
to keep it going like this, in fact there is a lot we don't see as they sort it out before we notice anything amiss. Imagine some swans gliding along serenely 
, but there is a lot of furious paddling (or should that be pedalling 
) going on beneath the surface 
. They are also human AND give up their spare time, can't always get everything 100% right, so let's cut them a wee bit of slack, if you are feeling a wee bit generous?
Back on topic ... dinnae go
We need some more natives, otherwise CC Ecosse will soon be entirely populated by fakes (I'm allowed to say that I hope, seeing as I am one of them). On the Inverclyde ride @mr messy was severely outnumbered ...
