As I once said I've only one question for Steve:
Who has the biggest wang in Malaz?
Has Karsa Orlong's Schlong made him king dong all along? Does Gulstream make the girls scream and is Ublala Pung, Unbeliveably Hung" Or, indeed does Beneth's member make Skullcup less penal servitude and more penile magnitude?

NEVERtheless, it takes a brain far larger and more highly educated than that tiny Northern Irish peanut you call a mind to come up with them, Macros.

Could someone in hte UK please do me a huge favour and find out if I can use my South African drivers licence to hire a car? We might want to go on a day trip through the Scottish highlands and I can't find anything official on whether I'll be allowed to hire a car or not.

I don't drive myself but that is the link to the gov website for driving on an overseas license, hopefully it is a little help.
Whereabouts in the highlands are you planning on visiting? Might be a bit of driving involved, depending on where you want to go.

We want to take the train to Eglin then drive to Dufftown and back, stopping at the distilleries. Ok, so driving is allowed, but I've read that some car hire places won't let you rent a car on a foreign licence. Any ideas where to start looking to find out which companies I could hire a car from?

There are a couple of other places as well Ford has rental and there is united car rental, I think yell.com has full listings. Here are a couple as well.

Also Inverness isn't far too far away and there are quite a few national car hire companies that rent from there (Hertz, europe car, avis etc.) If you don't have much luck with smaller compamies we see a lot of people renting from the national ones from overseas. Moray/Speyside is a good area to visit for the Whisky, lots of distilleries to choose from, opposite side of the country from me, I'm on the west coast.

Looking at the Avis UK FAQ it seems ok about not having to have an international driving licence and just using your normal licence - South Africa is mentioned specifically - so probably not an issue - though you can get an International drivers licence - just visit the AA office in Sandton - can't remember how much they charged me back in 2005 and I converted my SA licence back to a UK one anyway once I moved over again.
We did a number of distilleries in the area a couple of years ago - if you go to Elgin then visit Gordon McPhail's whisky shop - a mega emporium of single malt. They have almost every bottling under the sun - and lots of unique ones that they have created. We visited a very small distillery near Elgin - Benromach that is very friendly and with some very nice expressions - the malts up that way are less peaty than our taste - we did Islay last year and prefer peat levels of 25-50 ppm but as ever it is a highly personal thing. PM me, Alt if you want any more info.

If an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry, that is a sign that you are subconsciously aware of having no good reason for thinking as you do. If some one maintains that two and two are five, or that Iceland is on the equator, you feel pity rather than anger, unless you know so little of arithmetic or geography that his opinion shakes your own contrary conviction. … So whenever you find yourself getting angry about a difference of opinion, be on your guard; you will probably find, on examination, that your belief is going beyond what the evidence warrants.

I was originally going to debut my BBQ sword, Excaliburger, at the BBQ this year. Then while carrying it in a backpack I kind of accidentally stabbed myself in the back walking home from a full day of exhausting shenanigans and barbeques. Now I'm not so sure.
Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

So long as you don't poke holes in the train or my car I don't see any problems. Hold it in your hand. Slash at chavs.

We were also thinking of renting at Iverness, but seeing as we have rail passes, we woul like to use the trains as much as possibly possible to cut down on costs. I will phone around when I have arrived in the UK to see what will be the cheapest, I was more concerned with making sure my licence will be valid. I am debating getting an IDP - I don't need one, but I get the impression it helps. Getting through to Sandton to organise one is a bit of a mission at this point, do you remember how long it takes them to issue one? If it's instant I might be able to stop there on my way to the airport.
As for specific distilleries the must see for us is Glenfiddich (my favourite), with anything else on the way there/back a bonus. We prefer less peaty whiskys, and most of our favourite whiskys come from Speyside so it's really going to be a case of driving through to Glenfiddich, then stopping at whatever else looks interesting on the way back until we run out of time. If you know a good site that summarises tour costs and times that would help, I haven't been able to find anything. I will make sure we stop in a McPhails, it sounds interesting.

On the IDP - I recall that I was able to get it done on the spot but needed quite a few documents - visit http://www.aa.co.za/...driving-permits to see what you need - interestingly you can get it done at Menlyn, which might be more accessible? Not sure where in PTA you are.
http://www.maltwhiskytrail.com/ has got all of the distilleries that you might find of interest on an impressive site - lots on the locations etc and also links to the specific distilleries for tour details - Glenfiddich goes from £10 for 90 minutes to £50 for half a day - per person of course.
We might just have to share a wee dram at Mal and Hetan's.... Shall see what bottles are close to finishing - though ours might be a wee bit peaty for some.
