The Dolphin........ Nice pick... But I'll also add Lows Bakery in Torry at 2.30am... Fresh from the oven chicken or steak pies... Helps soak up all those Big T's you were throwing down your neck.......

Just arrived back from Gods country and, I can tell you, the snow thing gets old REALLY quick.. Couldnt get my clubs out all trip back!!!

ah of course, people who actually say 'thank you' when you open doors for people, or let people in trolleys past in the supermarket.

Yeah, I've noticed that. There are some really ignorant, arrogant b@stards and b!tches knocking around. I just hope I don't become like them after a while here.
I've actually started saying Thank You in a sarcastic tone loud enough for them to hear.

I miss a pint of real Ale by the fire with my sunday roast in a village pub during the winter...

I also miss the driving, lack of people staring and being understood by everyone when I speak English

Not breathing dust everyday is also on my list of things I miss
