I'm pleased they got elected, because despite having the best case, it looked like their geography ie being in Scotland might be held against them. I've been to Annan and indeed it is a fine part of the world....I recall with some affection a languid afternoon, spent throwing pebbles into the Solway Firth....from a small beach just outside the village. Sharing :doobie: with the bird I was with at the time, but too fucking cold for an al fresco.  |

Reg.
How could Annan being located in Scotland hold them back for being elected into the Scottish FL.
Have I missed a joke, or has Reg done a typo?

Have I missed a joke, or has Reg done a typo? When I read about tihis a while back, it looked despite having the best facilities Annan would lose because it's a bit isolated being right near England. I could imagine the woad covered Picts of teh SFL, thinking being near England was almost like being in it. |

Oh I misread it as being in Scotland as a country was a disadvantage. Not it's actual location within Scotland
Silly BR.

Ever since I was a kid, I've often puzzled how you get to be Secretary General of the UN, if you haven't got a pretty silly name or in the case of Kurt Waldheim, a dodgy Nazi past. Even the first, the Brit, Gladwyn Jebb isn't a bog standard moniker. Daddy for me was U Thant...how did peeps address him? "Alright You? For years I thought Trygve Lee must be some sort of Korean, rather than Norwegian as I eventually discovered. Dag Hammarskjold had a decent Viking ring to it and Perez de Cuellar, I suppose a bit too sensible....but Boutros Boutros Ghaly was a return to form....and present incumbent Ban Ki-moon shows promise. |

Boutros Boutros Ghaly has to be right up there in the list of best names ever.

The final choice was between Annan in the "far south" or Cove in the north, either way divvie 3 sides would have had a journey and a half to get there. Annan's only an hour south of Glasgow so it's not really the back of beyond.

Ban Ki-Moon is coming to town. He sang this on tv when he was appointed...or Slivovice had addled my brain. |
