Sorry, that's my cute Scots exhausted... Oh, apart from "it's a grae' breet moonlicht nicht ternicht". That's it. On a not entirely unrelated subject, an ex-colleague just sent me an ad for an English language school. It starts off in the comms room of the German Coastguard. The senior officer is hurriedly pointing out (in German) all the important bits to a very junior operator, then takes his coffee cup and leaves him. The radio bursts into noise with "Mayday, mayday, we are sinking!". The inexperienced German operator answers "Zis is ze Cherman Coastguard. What... are you... er, sinking about?". Instant keyboard drenching. Very cool, I'm sure it'll be making the rounds, and now I've spoiled it for everyone. Och aye, wee the noo.

Us broad "A" and consonant slurring yanks don't have a snowball's chance against that... unless we're rich, which I'm not. Cun ya' tane it don' a wee bit, laddie? Great altogether!

David, there's a lot to be said for roastin' and toastin', before brewin'. Although, I have had a verrrry nice bourbon.. It was... hmm... Wild Turkey? One of those fancy schmancy bottles in a little cardboard tube with lots of gold lettering, and one of those fucking lids that takes your fingernails off... If I'm after a sweet treat, Drambuie hits the spot. I know, there's a million reasons why Glayva and all the other honey/mead whiskies are better, but it was my first sweet scotch, and it went right to my heart and stays there... Mmmm, sweeet... Whisht, lassie, we dinna’ ken whet ye’re sayin’…
