Most Northerly chit chatter?

Worthing, do I win

You're leading so far!

beatable

Dr Crippen lives in Beauly which is a few miles North of Inverness as I know as I once stopped there.

Eternal Optimist, I believe, was from north of Beauly.

Anyhoo, I'm in Perth which - until Cripps checks in - is in the lead

Akabula's near Oban - so we're on a similar latitude, though I think he may be further north.

Perth Latitude: 56° 23' 43.2121"N
Oban 56°24'54.57"N

aka by a short head

Hold on, Kenny Hill's in Aberdeen, as is Seaking & Milleracing, I think.

tribly your boyfriend ackie lives somewhere in the boondocks of midge infested North West Scotland.

I'd prefer a boyfriend to a sheepfriend, Mr. Hill!

Never heard that before.  Thanks for the education

always happy to educate a hun.

The sheep or Diane Abbot? Tough choice.. now where did I put that mint sauce?

Angoose was from Aberdeen but I'm sure Inverness is further North. Trilby22, my ex wife was from Blair Atholl in Perthshire, I had many a time up there going racing, fishing and a few rounds of golf. Lovely part of the world.

Had a very good pub meal there once in the Bothy Bar.

Must try harder, imo.

Slip, you are a fortunate fellow to have had that experience.  You could have been Laird Blue!  no worries, Palace had a good result yesterday.  Hope Chelsea put FIVE passed Watford tonight.

trilby; you're as funny as dysentery and twice as fluid..

"Try harder" - against what exactly? A c&p merchant who can't string a sentence together? I'd get more sense out of Stephen Hawkins on a Kalimba (look it up)

Deffo a poor loser.

Any of you guys remember a boxer called Billy Strawb, old mate of mine from Motherwell,boxed for Scotland in the 70. Nearly sure that's how he spealt his name.

Billy Straub, googled him but can't remember him.

Quines and Loons.

I worked in the Gellions in Inverness and being a teen from Leeds
the different Scottish accents proved difficult but the Aberdonians
took the most work

Was the Gellion a bar on 2 levels ie ground floor and basement?

Yes Ground level with a back bar and an upstairs bar you could get barred downstairs and were allowed upstairs
then if you got barred upstairs you could drink in the back bar but you never got barred from the back bar,,,
My first day was you guesssed it ..serving the back bar

I used to go up their on business and stayed in a hotel in the town centre until someone put me wise to one on the outskirts.
Thought the hotel was called the Queens but can't see anything by that name. Maybe mistaken or changed names.
Would love to remember the small one, served great food.

Yes I remember it had a small public bar was down a back streetso their wasn't much of a view.
