Well, in true Scottish style...... so don't be offended, I stay in my house, and visit lovely, commutable, places from my house, LOL!

Would that be a nice white wine?

We could come to an arrangement! Most of my friends now turn up with those plastic 'takeaway' boxes and steal my Thai curries to take home and serve as their 'own' to other friends!

PM me where you are!

They sure as shit are not 'surrounded by drive in burger joints'. If they are where you live, perhaps they're pandering to the bogan neighbourhood you've clearly settled in.

Crikey...

Don't beat around the bush with the insults will you.
