They jumped the shark a long time ago, but when compared to most everything else animated these days, they remain a pretty good show. :)

Hi and welcome to WP, from a fellow Scot. There are a few others on here. We have a big day too, on the 21st. Finally getting a meeting with an educational psychologist, with regards to our daughter. Good luck with your diagnosis.

Welcome to WP Randomtask. Hope you like it here. There are quite a lot of people on here from the UK and a fair few of those are from Scotland. :)

Sounds like you guys are starting an autistic colony in the middle of nowhere. Living the dream...

Are there people there who are as rowdy and uncivilized as the charming little urchins that you'd find in the rest of the country? :roll:

Hi Randomtask, welcome to Wrong Planet. I'm from the Central Belt. I've only stopped off in the Borders once – to attend a BAAGS (Borders and Aspergers Support Group) seminar in Selkirk.
