Happy happy summer fun time!
I'd forgotten how smashing and summery the La's eponymous album is. Talented bunch of thieving scally cunts that they are/were.

I hadn't.
If only you'd asked.

I saw a porpoise on the ferry to Skye
it made me happy.

Carry on.
( Fenris temporary Lazarus, Tue 5 Jul 2005, 13:14, archived)

I'm going up to Skye soon.
If I don't see a porpoise I will be slightly jealous and will rain down furious vengeance upon your soul for all of eternity.

Fair play
It looked really nice. We just skirted across it as a short cut. Ferry from Mallaig and then over the bridge to Kyle Mclaughlin (or whatever it's called). Don't expect much in the way of roads!

Roads?

I'm not a huge fan of the place
it's normally draped with merkin tourists.
But the missus has never been up there and it's sort of obligatory for a quickie tour of the west highlands and islands.
( Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Tue 5 Jul 2005, 13:21, archived)

This place we stopped at near Pitlochry
was the worst for pandering to yank tourists. They didn't have toilets, they had "cloakrooms" with fucking flush-urinals.

You should be able to avoid the merkins with a bit of luck though.

Kyle of Lochalsh
I have an odd uncle who lives there, if he's still alive

For the entire time I was up there and navigating
it was Kyle McLaughlin and it's staying that from now on ;)

I thought the ferry had stopped running
after the big PFI bridge opened?

Ferry from Mallaig
it saved having to do about 100+ miles round in a circle.

I was your wanna let you know?
I think that was The Connellys. Some American band with a surname.

The Las were Scouse indy 60s-revivalists in the early 90s, when you were still little.
( Flapjack I spay a little mare for you, Tue 5 Jul 2005, 12:59, archived)

oh aye
could have been them

Connells
I have that somewhere..

The Las did that 'There she goes' didn't they?
( Dekazer, Tue 5 Jul 2005, 13:03, archived)

Yes
although you're old enough to remember that.

Ah that's where I was getting confused
possibly.

Not sure why. I remember There She Goes anyway.

It depends how early in the 90s
there's not much of a time difference between finding you have some and wanting to look at those in possession of the opposite gender.
