(Your roof has some tiles missing though :p)


Thats the Wallace monument at Stirling, but it doesn't have a roof, those are holes for getting down quickly in the event of sunshine..............

I watched Neil Oliver gloating about Wallace last night. He's an impressive presenter.

My desktop is the Windows after Vista, it'll probably end up called Windows 7 but who can tell. The public beta came out yesterday. And that's Internet Explorer 8 running on it.

You know, this Windows 7 is pretty good. There's not too much of it, it's unencumbered so far with all the traditional Microsoft excess, it's stable to the limits that I've pushed it. I can see me finding a reason to use it again tomorrow.

Neil Oliver has been niggling at the back of my mind all day and I finally came to the reason for it. He has the same cadence and delivery and mannerisms of an earlier Scottish naturist-historical reporter, Fyfe Robertson. If the dead could return to make another series this would be him. Put Neil Oliver in tweeds with a hat and, all bar the hair which is subject to fashion and would have been out of place back then, he's Fyfe Robertson resurrected and returned.

I upgraded to Slackware 14.1 with xfce 4.10 this week. It's responsive and easy to maintain, I like the combination.

For those in the UK anxious to test my suggestion, I note the following on the BBC iPlayer this week:

BBC iPlayer - The Call of the Isles

"Join Fyfe Robertson on a journey through some of Scotland's islands, including Mull, Staffa, Barra and Vatersay. First broadcast in 1963."
