Apparently, Peter, the new V&A museum in Dundee, which opens on Saturday, will bring in 200 million visitors a week and generate 76 trillion pounds every day. At least, that's what the local council are saying. (Well, roughly). From Friday lunchtime, half the roads in the city are going to be closed for two days which will make it extremely difficult for me to get to the Dundee United v. Morton game and I may have to give it a miss.

A silver lining, I suppose.

Not closed to pedestrians, I take it, Roger?

PS - Note I cropped the bottom of the map so that Mincey doesn't have accurate coordinates to programme his missiles with. You're welcome!

I've switched plans. I'm just going to carpet bomb Portugal when he goes on holiday.

He hasn't been on holiday since May 3rd so it must be close to his next one.

It's more than a little disturbing that you know when I was last on holiday.

To be fair, he is more than a little disturbing.

It's more than a little disturbing you went to the bother of looking it up.

Last night, the outdoor concert across the river from me in Dundee, featured some noisy chaps who go under the name of "Primal Scream". Despite my double glazing, I heard every attempt at a note. Today, for the official opening of the V&A, the music will begin at 11 a.m. Meanwhile, the waterfront roads around the museum and concert venue will remain closed until 10 p.m.

I hate the place already.

I didn't hear a thing. The roads are fine. Move to Perth.

Is the outdoor concert called "Last night"?

Mincey, I applaud and admire your energy. Your search for ways to twist a straightforward sentence into a humorous response must be exhausting!

I think that's a good idea, mate! My next-door neighbour was attempting to come home from Dundee yesterday at 5 p.m. She decided to go via Perth. It took her about an hour to complete the 40-mile journey----half the time it took those who chose to make the 3-mile trip over the Tay Bridge to the same destination. I'm not sure this whole V&A opening thing was thought through carefully.

I did manage to get to the Dundee United v. Morton game. Dammit.

Should there be a comma after "grammar"?

Should there be a comma after "Dundee"?

No, there shouldn't be. I made a mistake. I feel awful.

Why does the opening have to last so long? Are they hoping to make it into a museum piece? The flat next door to mine is up for sale.

The flat next door to mine is up for sale.

Let me guess: it wasn't when you first moved in to your flat.

You don't have the brains to steal my M.O., so I can only assume you went with your own M.O. of running naked outside his front window.

He's already had four offers on the flat since I did that.
