    I'm entirely self taught. My mum was a good cook and some of her meals were amazing so I got her to teach me or I'd watch her making them. My passion for cooking is relatively new though and only really came about in the past 6-7 years. I'm actually in the process of writing 3 books on it too...

    The outer Hebrides are quite wild depending on the time of year so Lewis, Harris and Uist(North/South/Benbecula) if you don't mind rapid changes in the weather. If you want something a bit more civilised then Orkney or Shetland. Personally, I'd go with Skye.. it's my favourite and I return...

    This... Xavvo Ltd/miniVPS/others. This is what I do for a living - I don't have a 'normal' 9-5 day job and do this on the side. I do this full time.

    I want to go to Yosemite and travel route 66. Quite like to visit New York too, just to tick it off the list. To he honest the US doesn't hold much for me. Canada on the other hand... Nothing really I'd want to avoid. Scots are loved everywhere!

    I'm not a whiskey drinker but I do like Black Label Chivas Regal. Overall favourite alcoholic drink would be dark rum... or any number of cocktails I tend to make on a weekend when it's sunny :) I'm an animal lover so wouldn't fight either!

    Quite a lot to be honest though some may not necessarily be traditions. I love our New Year's Eve street party on Princes Street in the Capital. I like 'first footing' - after the bells you can walk in to your neighbours house and you get a drink and some nibbles. Perhaps, most of all, I like...

    Well, after a brief discussion she did request that I keep our conversation quiet so I can't really divulge anything. Lets just say I'll be back there in September to say hello.

    W1H-Lee Request Removal of Provider Title

    Here's a thought - why don't you get in touch with the moderators/admins if you want to effect something like this? Posting a thread like this makes you absolutely no better than the "LET Shit" you supposedly despise. If you've got a problem with a post or a user, use the report button or PM...

    Website Proofreading - $7

    In fairness, I think his attitude shown in here does a LOT more damage than anything Google will index.

    How do you type?

    I've been battering away at a keyboard for as long as I can remember so touch typing for me is second nature. Not sure what 'home row' is though? Is that when you basically hover over the middle row and navigate from there? If so, I guess that's how I type. I actually find it quite difficult to...
