The Misty Isle

Advantages: Stunning landscape, nice towns to visit
Disadvantages: None

..., and clouds high enough that we could see some of the views). Skye is known as the Misty Isle, for rather obvious reasons - we experienced that weather the whole week we were in the area. It is one of the strongest Gaelic-speaking areas of Scotland, and the Gaelic college, Sabhal Mor Ostaig, is located on the island. Skye itself is An t-Eilean Sgithaneach in Gaelic, so let's just use Skye as it's less of a mouthful... Skye is located off the north west coast of Scotland , in the Atlantic Ocean . The nearest town on the mainland is Kyle of Lochalsh, to which trains run from Inverness , or it can be reached by road on the A87. These days Skye is accessed from the mainland over the Skye Bridgerather than ferry, which rather ruins the misty ideas of Over The Sea To Skye, but at least the toll has been removed and you can drive back and forth...

Wild Hearts can't Be Broken

Advantages: well told children's fiction that is not dumbed down, action packed and heart touching
Disadvantages: none

...Louis XXXX." And so it was that she began writing. She had a deep love of animals, especially horses, and her stories focused on these great loves of hers that she could only now dream about. Misty of Chincoteague is set in a region of the US referred locally to as Delmarva, so called because it is the geographical meeting point for the states of Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. It is along the coast, and on the Virginia side there lies a town known as Chincoteague. It is still a small town, boasting only 4,000 odd souls, and is home to the Assateague National Seashore Park, so that the town, the seashore, and Aasateague Island just off its part of the coast, will remain forever in situ and free of further development. The reason for this is the wild ponies you see everywhere. Legend has it that during the 17th century, a Spanish galleon...

The Beautiful Misty Island!

Advantages: Breathtaking Sceneryo of Mountains and Coastline
Disadvantages: The Midges

...There is something about the Isle of Skye that is magical and I have very fond memories of spending holidays there as a child. I therefore make no apologies for the length of this review which I hope will be a guide for anyone visiting, or thinking about visiting this beautiful island. It is affectingly known in Gaelic as Eilean a' Cheò, which literally translates into English as the Island of the mist and today Skye, the largest of the Inner Hebridean Islands is often referred to as "The Misty Isle." Geographical Location & Getting There The Isle of Skye lies less than a mile off the north-west coast of Scotland and is the best known and largest of the of the Inner Hebridean Islands. The island has a population of just under 9,000 residents and is 50 miles long by 25 miles wide at its widest point, decreasing to just 7 miles...

Opening More Than Her Mind

Advantages: A bizarre pornographic movie with a genuine story
Disadvantages: Tedious mechanical sex

...Ever read any of my reviews? Well if you have it might seem like I'm sliding down a very murky path. This review is going to convince you further, The Opening Of Misty Beethoven is as dirty as it possibly sounds. Misty Beethoven is for the most part hard core pornography, but what's different about this movie is that it has a proper storyline, proper actors, a director that flips from blockbuster movies to hardcore porn at the drop of a hat; and the biggest surprise is that it's acclaimed by movie enthusiasts, critics and alike; even top movie resource the Internet Movie Database has it listed as the highest rated porn movie of all time. Misty Beethoven is living in France and works as a prostitute; the trouble with Misty is that her menu is incredibly limited: Handjobs and straight sex only, no oral, no anal Misty is battling...

Review of The Opening of Misty Beethoven (DVD)

It's misty & it refreshes!

Advantages: Lovely scents, nice variety, design of the product is stylish, does not mask odours.
Disadvantages: A little expensive.

...Febreze Mist & Refresh does exactly what it says on the tin. It's misty and it refreshes! It will eliminate odours rather than mask them and this is the perfect solution to any nasty whiffs or odours that may force themselves around the average family home. There are three varieties currently available (Blossom, Cotton & Morning) and they normally have a special edition at Christmas time which is always a lovely scent and quite a few bottles get purchased in preparation for them to not be on sale again until the following festive period. The bottle size is 300ml and this retails for £2.68 from Asda (April 2009 price), however, there are sometimes special offers on these such as two for £4.00 or half price and this is when I generally try and stock up. The bottle is an aluminium can with a plastic top and spray nozzle. It's very...

Play Misty for me

Advantages: Everything about you
Disadvantages: I have none....

...Dear Misty I had spent 5 years asking my parents for a puppy, finally they said yes! I remember the 1st day we visited you at the breeders house, it was the sort of house that had to wipe your feet on the way out! You were all little, black and white. The reason I chose you was when I held you, you fell asleep in my arms. So cute! A little black and white cocker spaniel all of my own. Then we had to leave you, for 2 more weeks before I could bring you home, I was so excitied! The day we picked you up was a day I'll never forget. You slept in my arms all the way home in the car. You were tiny in all ways, so delicate, but a little clumsy. Tripping over your ears, how that used to make me laugh so much. The first night you spent crying all night loudly, but mum and dad had said I wasnt allowed to go down to you. It was...

Dear Misty. Update.

Advantages: A friend for life
Disadvantages: You died

...perked up a bit, but your tooth had to come out. Now you were as right as rain. You had a spark in your eyes. This was when we changed your name from Dusty to Misty. Do you remember when we got Ben? This little black and white dog, no-one realised how big he would grow. He sired your lovely pups. Ben is old now, he can hardly stand up any more, he's blind and deaf. Then I had kids and you had to take a back seat. I didn't seem to have enough time for you. But you waited your turn. You were patient with the kids pulling and tugging on you. Never once did you turn on them. It was boxing day 2001 you got ill. You didn't move much and your stomach was huge. I took you back to the vet. He told me you had liver cancer, he give us some pills. They made a difference for a few months. On May the 16th 2002 you really were...

Meet Misty, my gorgeous English Springer Spaniel

Advantages: Totally loyal and very affectionate
Disadvantages: Can be boystrous if not excercised.

...Misty is our English Springer Spaniel who we got when she was a puppy at 8 weeks old. She came from a reputable breeder we had found through the internet and the Kennel club. We had done quite a bit of research into the breed before we took the plunge and got a ESS. My advise would be to make sure you can offer a ESS a sound home where you will be able to give your dog lots of exercise from which they never tire, they can just go on and on and on. We can take Misty on the beach and she just runs and runs after the birds and when we get back home, she still looks for more walks. She loves swimming and so the beach must be one of her favourite places, where she can swim and chase birds. Heaven!!! She equally loves an open field where she gets her nose to the ground and just runs following scent trails for as long as possible...

THE MISTY ISLE (Eilean a'Cheo) ISLE OF SKYE

Advantages: Tranquility; breathtaking scenery; friendly islanders
Disadvantages: Wet and windy or Midgies - take your pick!

..."'The Misty Isle' as the Isle of Skye is affectionately known (the Gaelic name is Eilean a' Cheo - pronounced Ellen a Kee-ow) is the largest of the Inner Hebridean Islands. The island lies about a mile off the north-west of Scotland. Grab yourself a map, and if you live in the south of England, move your finger up the map following the coastline, up through the North of England, through the Scottish borders, up, up, up?. Wait! Stop! See, just to the left at the very edge of the coastline in the Highlands of Scotland you will see a tiny place called Kyle of Lochalsh. This is where, up until 1995, you would catch the ferry to the Isle of Skye. Then they built a bridge and tourism dropped dramatically because the tolls were very, very expensive at £5.70 each way. In 2005, the tolls were finally abolished and since then the island has...

Honeymoon on The Misty Isle

Advantages: Peace and quiet, dramatic scenery, seclusion
Disadvantages: Unpredictable weather, not many social/tourist attractions

...every night, and there are not many big tourist attractions (which could be a good or bad thing depending what you want). Dunvegan Castle is worth visiting and the Talisker Distillery is interesting for whisky fans. The remainder of Skye?s attractions are various craft shops and folk museums ? be warned that some of these are indescribably poky. One so-called gallery contained about three pictures and was otherwise selling bobble hats. Many a sign for a craft shop takes you up some stony track to a deserted hovel with a couple of knitted dolls in the window. Skye Silver, however, is one that is certainly worth going out of your way for. The weather is always a big consideration in Scotland, and Skye well deserves is nickname ?The Misty Isle?. The best time of year to go is probably May or June - when we went in May, the sun shone constantly...
