Fuel is cheaper here in Ireland than in the UK I think, but i'll fill up before leaving Oban.
Serious question here guys - Where, close to Oban can I buy bottle of Buckfast? Off licenses are closed here and i'm getting on the road at 2.30AM
SeaSkills - I'm arriving tomorrow (Monday) around lunch time, send a PM and i'll forward on my number

What is it with you boys and the monks brew from F'kbastleigh? No one in England touches the stuff.  It certainly keeps the old Abbey going.

The lads said that they couldn't find Buckfast in Oban last year. I have some Off-Licenses tapped into the GPS in Glasgow so i'll try there first!
Mollers - I'm still technically a student so I can get away with it

I find the Orkney wimmin much dodgier, certainly more than the Oban ones.
I have never came across the dodgy Oban ones, and its not because I haven't looked

You'll find it easier if you don't look

I admit I don't go to the clubs, such as they are, in Oban. I must be getting old as on a weekend night when I am going through town they all look like 13 years olds with little clothing on which makes me feel old
The only place I know where I am actually scared of the local wimmin is Stromness in Orkney where they all seem to be drunk, half naked and look like they bare knuckle box as a hobby......

I was thinking more of the sheer size of them and also referring to the cauliflower ears and broken noses, hadn't got close enough to see their hands and smell
