Broithe Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 Of course, Moscow used to be in Laois - still there on the maps of the '70s, but not shown on today's Google Maps - for security purposes, no doubt..... http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~irlcar2/Bilboa.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Blarney Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Now Lads - you have it all wrong. Moscow is in Ayrshire, Scotland. Believe you, me, it is there for all to see. I've passed through it on many an occasion when driving from Glasgow to Darvel after the railway between these two places was closed. Vladimir Putin has his villa on the West Coast of Scotland. This allows him to observe the movement of British Naval vessels as, and when, he pleases. Alex Salmond, First Minister of Scotland, and leader of the SNP, a Putin admirer (by his own admission) is waiting for a successful result (for him) in the forthcoming Independence Referendum in Scotland. A YES vote will then allow wee Eck to complain of undue interference by the English in Scottish affairs, thus providing wee Eck with an excuse to request assistance fro his latest friend, Putin. Putin will then invade Scotland at Alex's (First Prime Minister Scotland) request. Putin will then legitimately acquire the British Nuclear deterrent on the Clyde, and drive back to his Capital City of Moscow in Ayrshire, Scotland. On nice Sunny days he will travel back to his Villa on the Scottish West Coast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Holman Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Priests - now there's another thread... However, my [increasingly seasonal] day job includes doing headteacher performance reviews with their governors. One of my regular ports of call is a church school and last year, found myself faced with no less than three vicars. I made the obvious enquiry about the collective noun for such a group and was informed [with much delight] that the word was an 'hypocrasy'.... 'Nuff said???
