Didn’t he buy one of the Ascrib Islands off Dunvegan in the 1960s or 70s?
I hear he went into the Misty Isle or the Dunvegan for a drink and when he asked where the toilet was, the barman pointed him to the Ladies because he had long hair.
Nobody finds that funny except Nigel Farage’s supporters. The ones with neck tattoos.
I call them the EdnaWilfreds.

LOL. In the 60s I suspect they’d not seen a lot of long haired guys up that way…

those were smashing. For those who would like to see more of our favourite life-affirming friends, Orangutan Jungle School is available on Channel 4 OD – no TV licence required.
Did you know that Cheetahs are the only Big Cats that can purr just like the Wee Cats? And why don’t we call them Wee Cats? John’s little stray is very cute but as the video shows they can be wee buggers!

No, I didn’t know that about cheetahs.
I’ve never known why cats purr…

I dunno why, exactly, I think this thread is a tribute to a Simon and Garfunkle song.

It really cheers me up. The thread, that is. I cling to the friendship that takes me over a troubled water.
Thanks to Munguin for keeping the faith with absolutely great commitment to nostalgia and nature and independence.

OT. I’d forgotten about this, but this was just after the 2014 referendum, and this guy got it bang on.
Sweary!
