chingford Posted September 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 Apparently her 'man' was out 'working'. I found that hard to believe.

The mind boggles... ...it also is a wee bit hungover, so the chap in question can relax cos Ah cannae mind an awful lot about last night...

Dirty Sanchez Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 My party made another connection between hillwalking and nudity while we were marching around the glens of northern Arran. One person (aye,OK then,it was me ) noted that when a small stream cuts vertically through a hillside,from summit to valley floor,it actually resembles shaved female genitalia. Once this was noted,we spent the day looking out for other examples,and there was even a part of the glen that had three such streams adjacent to each other,so you were looking across to the opposite side of the valley to see three giant fannies looking back at you. Now there's something to look out for the next time you're off on a ramble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chingford Posted September 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 (edited) ...so you were looking across to the opposite side of the valley to see three giant fannies looking back at you. 190600[/snapback] There were probably folk on the opposite hills looking across, seeing you and yer pals and thinking something similar... Is the top of the torridon image below showing us an example - of your warped mind? Edited September 5, 2005 by chingford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Sanchez Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 Is the top of the torridon image below showing us an example 190625[/snapback] That's the general idea,although it's certainly not a textbook example. I've edited the picture to indicate the relevant part,although in this case the stream is a bit too crooked,and the surrounding topography doesn't really give the correct triangluar fanny-like profile. If there's room on the web for the famous MenWhoLookLikeKennyRogers.com website,then surely there's scope for a Hillsthatlooklikefannnies.com project?

chingford Posted September 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 (edited) Aaaaaaw..... I was thinking simply of the dark, shadowy cleft above the top of your rhs white line. Let's try again - and again with your North Arran Hills. I think there's something in the centre of this one, that may be apposite...

Dirty Sanchez Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 There's a couple of possibilities in that picture but,again,no glaring examples. I'll need to get the camera out the next time I spot one. My old geography teacher once pointed out that coal seams can often appear as a 'gash on the hillside'. This topic certainly puts a different complexion on that claim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest AC Doyle Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Ma Granny used to go on about Ben Thehoose.Never found out where it was 189553[/snapback] Was saying to AC Doyle jnr (hasn't quite the same ring to it)...."take yer plate ben the kitchen" and thought where the f"k does "ben" come from and what does it actually mean........any fannies like Bill Lees know?

chingford Posted September 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 any fannies like Bill Lees know? 191315[/snapback] You talkin to me? Probably. Aye. I do know. As used in Scots, 'ben' signifies 'in or toward the inner or better, or (vaguely) another, apartment' It used to be the goood room behind the kitchen or where the coos were kept... From Middle English binne or Old English binnan - both meaning 'within'. To go on and on This might be where the Scots hills Binnein Beag and Binnein Mor got their names, tucked within the back of another more easily seen hills in Lochaber.... ...to bring it back on topic!
