Off to Cumbria for the weekend!
Also making my first ever trip over the border at some point. Not to Gretna.

That djtrialprice is 30 today. Being an incurable cougar, I'm supposed to drop him like a hot potato now he's no longer in his 20s. Should I give him a bit longer?

Woo, Scotland!
If he doesn't feed you something deep fried every day you're here, ditch him.

Haha I'm not seeing him there.
He's near Aviemore, and we may be going to that bit near the Solway Firth.
It's Scotland for beginners.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Fri 30 Apr 2010, 9:02, Reply)

The Solway Firth
is about 200 miles from Aviemore!

He's going to Edinburgh at some point over that day anyway
I don't know where things are in Scotland.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Fri 30 Apr 2010, 9:04, Reply)

Well, Aviemore's getting fairly far north, up the A9, towards Inverness.
The Solway Firth is the river on the bottom left, separating Scotland from the NW of England. And Edinburgh is half way down on the right hand side.

I've looked up the Solway Firth
and I gathered it would be near Cumbria, but the rest is still a bit of a mystery. I've always been a Wales person when I've needed hills and that.

Scotland's got a hilly bit in the south (the Southern Uplands)
a flattish bit in the middle (the Central Lowlands) and mountains in the north (the Highlands).

I like your description
and how you have tailored it to the needs/abilities of the student
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Fri 30 Apr 2010, 9:27, Reply)

The special needs
You forgot the word 'special'.

I feel insulted
Why are you coming up anyway?
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Fri 30 Apr 2010, 9:32, Reply)

Because my friend said it'll be a pleasant drive if the weather's nice
I'll go with the flow because there's always food and booze at the end of these things.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Fri 30 Apr 2010, 9:34, Reply)

Fair reasons all round
You could still have chosen a better weekend though. Like the one when I'm home.
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Fri 30 Apr 2010, 9:35, Reply)

Don't blame me

So this chap starts a new job, and the owner gives him a broom and says
"Just sweep out the storeroom".
"Do what?" says the chappie,"I'm a graduate".
"OK" says the owner,"give me the broom then, and I'll show you how."

That's often how it is where I work.
Not when I was a graduate trainee though. I was brilliant.

Scottish Geography 1.01
1.02 deals with cities. Edinburgh is in the middle on the right. Glasgow is on the middle on the left. Aberdeen is on the sticky out bit higher up on the right. Dundee's down a bit from Aberdeen. Stirling's right in the middle. And Inverness is up near the top.

Sorry if that's too much for one lesson.
( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Fri 30 Apr 2010, 9:48, Reply)

I thought Aberdeen was at the top
I'm shit at this geography lark.
(Bazongaloid, Fri 30 Apr 2010, 9:51, Reply)

I always though Inverness was right at the very top
but it's not.
(Bazongaloid, Fri 30 Apr 2010, 9:53, Reply)

And I fort William was.

I suggest Google maps...

The Solway Firth
Is right down next to where I live.
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Fri 30 Apr 2010, 9:05, Reply)

Come say hi!
I'll be the one hopping over the border going "I'm in England... I'm in Scotland..." repeatedly.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Fri 30 Apr 2010, 9:06, Reply)

Well I would
Except you've chosen a weekend I WON'T BE THERE to come up!

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Fri 30 Apr 2010, 9:12, Reply)

I don't know what that is
But I'm offended with the plans for your visit anyway.

I'm stealing that insult.

Depends whether he's satisfying your incredible demands or not
If so, keep hold of him.
( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Fri 30 Apr 2010, 9:01, Reply)

Why does everyone think I make incredible demands :P

You're a scouser
After last night it stands to reason you need some serious cheering up

Nice for Fulham last night as well!

Yeah am well made up for Roy's boys
Glad they're not facing Liverpool in the final, they'll have more of a shot at winning it against a team who don't know how to play them

God yes!
You have your reputation to think off. He's still ok for me though.
( girlinthehole, Fri 30 Apr 2010, 9:07, Reply)

Haha
I'll pass him on when I'm done. But I'm not done yet...
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Fri 30 Apr 2010, 9:10, Reply)

He'll be done shortly
if you wear him out.
( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Fri 30 Apr 2010, 9:20, Reply)

Watch it, saucy
Besides, he's younger than me so surely I'll wear out first.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Fri 30 Apr 2010, 9:24, Reply)

You'll not reach your sexual peak until you're about 40.
He'll be struggling to keep up by then.

We peak at FOURTY?

I lowered my standards and have been pleasantly surprised.

I know but it's not looks that I'm fussy about.
It's personality.
