Wee Kaiden seeing the auroras last night for the first time.

Our daughter has just text me this photo she took a few minutes ago from her flat window here in Edinburgh

Aye, heard about it and keeping track of the news here in Scotland.

What about this one...

Ditto, I kept thinking of it as the Australian slang word "Good on ya, mate..." then it clicked when I kept saying it and thinking of the Olympics.

Erm...hot blooded young man...it might excite him?

Happy Birthday...Spike?

Is it?, well...... @Spike

Good tv quiz show this on the BeeB every night hosted by Ross Kemp A quiz show in which a team of four takes on the `Bridge of Lies'. One by one, each team member must face the Bridge. In order to be successful, the team must carefully select who faces each crossing depending on the question category. Each Bridge crossing has 32 potential steps, including 22 truths and 10 lies, and they must cross the Bridge by stepping on the truths and avoiding the lies. In the process, they earn prize money that they will have the chance to claim through a final challenging round.

If it was me, that above would be the first place I would visit, that's bloody stunning, is it the Kuelop Fortress or did I Google it wrong.

The first thing me and the wife thought but regardless of that, it is still a sad loss.

As old ones can get like that nowadays, me sitting here watching wee Kaiden when he is here with the tv remote control, mobile phone, iPad, changing tv channels, texting on his mobile, never like that when I was a kid, no mobiles, nowt, just a Beano or Dandy book to read and that was it.

Used to love hedge jumping too when we were kids, jump onto a hedge and roll over into the lawn on the other side then get chased by an angry old woman or man. But I tried that in Australia when we emigrated out there and nearly broke my arms and leg, they always put bloody fences inside their hedges out there.

I can remember playing 'Knock Up Ginger', our council house neighbours' front doors faced each other down a pathway, we would get a rope and leave it loose in the middle and tie it to both knockers then knock on both doors then run and hide and watch them trying to open their front door's.

You weren't the one who would stick chewing gum in the earpieces, were you?

Mind you, using army toilet paper was like rubbing your arse with sandpaper.

Some of our ancient stuff was ten times better than what they have today.

1 point Never had a My Space Account or what the fuck is that? , and I wondered what a Boom Box was until I checked it up on Google, had one of them when I was younger.

@Rab, I thought I would give you the heads up on this one, a few times I pressed an option like to read a message and this happened. Not a bother really as all I did was click the go back history arrow at the top and tried again and it was ok, I thought I would let you know.
