Graffiti mostly sucks (where is that cap stone)
and the people who do it make the whole world just a bit crapper.

Get well soon Roy, a chair with wheels on and dogs to pull it, that's what you want.

The NHS is good at fixing you up well, if you don't mind catching a hoard of infections while your there, and don't get me started on some if the mindless moronic nurses they have. shit ive already stared. But then my last hospital visit was at north Staffs, famed for under performing.
i'll do my next aneurysm myself.

Not sure if you're asking where the capstone is(!), but if you are it's plonked on top of the cairn. It could possibly have been a circle stone, so I've read.

re NHS, everybody has a different experience I suppose. Sorry to hear yours wasnt good.

Just back from Scotland after a 14hr marathon drive. exhausted.

Good news Roy, hope all is plain sailing from here on in.

This capstone is at The Giants Graves on Arran

I don't think the marks make the world crapper.

Someone took the time to make these.

A hundred years ago or five thousand, they all say "I was here".

There is a massive panel (not on TMA or listed anywhere AFAIK) with 18th and 19th Century graffiti near the King's Caves on Arran. It is half buried near one of the lesser caves. It has some much older marks too. All of it screams "I was here".

I like it.

I think it makes the world less crapulous.
