It brought back many memories, particularly the Cuillins. They didn't mention the midges of Sligachan though - worst in the world. There was a Wainwright programme on BBC4 after it and that was pretty good too. Ahhhhhhh....

welcome back SIR.Originally posted by Gunnery Sergeant HighwayAs a military man, I am pleased to see the mods attempting to restore some long overdue order to this increasingly unruly and childish forum.

Well you looked so stylish I thought you batted for the other camp - thats like the ultimate compliment!

It was in the immensely tedious Greek Democracy programme with Bethany Hughes or whatever she's called.
Execution of Socrates.
Or something.

Yes, he seemed a decent cove. Come the revolution I suspect he'd be dragged out and shot for being one of the bourgoise, but in fact he was millions in debt trying to maintain his castle.Originally posted by zeitghostI found it quite sad that the Laird popped his clogs before he managed to get his roof fixed.Comment
