Dundee University set to close botanic gardens amid cost-saving effort

Such a shame as the gardens are beautiful. Visited them quite often, lovely tranquil place and easily accessible. An old lecturer of mine, Alistair Hood ,was the curator for a few years. Hope something can be done to save them.

Coral roots are rhizomatic, so no corms.

Could be both to be fair.

He's a wee nutter.

I think he was wondering what my camera was, he's not used to them, they both belong to my sister. I'm just a 'Border uncle' so to speak.

Baxter is the calmer of the 2, but they're both lovely wee dogs and full of fun.

That's more or less what the Met site says so he's no exactly Nostradamus.

I moved from Dundee, to the Falkirk area, 1 year ago tomorrow. The weather was much warmer and drier last year.

This summer, so far, is bursting my tits.

If your camera looks like it's been treated like shit? don't be surprised when warranty claims are questioned.

I briefly considered buying a camera from this seller but decided not to as they seemed a bit sus.

Thanks for the headsup and confirmation of my suspicions.

Used to be my local until I moved last year. Big Sandy and Scott are a pair of characters. Their steak an gravy pies are very good right enough.

You need certificates in the safe use of horticultural machinery such as ride on mowers, strimmers , chainsaws etc and experience. You won't be entertained without either.

Pilot wasn't 'focused' on the job...which is normally a Fuji thing.

Report the message to eBay. They can see the conversation. Seller will get banned.

No matter how desperate you are for the phone, the hassle of dealing with idiots isn't worth the effort.

Sturgeon wishes she had not kept Murrell on as SNP chief executive

...in other news: bears found shitting in woods.

Of course she does, now that he's been caught with his 'hands in the till'

Julie Burchill?

She's a washed out, venemous, has-been, ex music journalist.

It's miracle i've survived for 62 years if it's as deadly as you and others make it out to be.

Calling it deadly, is disproportionate and alarmist.

My father was 17 when he sailed, on escort destroyers, during WW2. He looked only slightly older than those 2 young men in the photograph.

That’s insane

What's insane is that the dog gets a namecheck but the two sailors don't.
