Naw - got it all wrang. Ye cannae pick yer teeth wi' a Chav. A Chiv is bit like, that, certain je ne sais quoi, a toothpick up against a big yacht, peut etre.

As for the query from our pronunciation correspondent: "Chib" is perfectly acceptable. Provided you're young, ie below 50.

Past that, we tend to slobber a bit after a few pints. So we use the Gaelic"bh". Saves a lot of time.

Is it true that Jimi will be wearing a new flat cap with razor blades embedded in the peak?

Somewhere central like Doune or Anniesland

Between Doune and Thornhill is a tower in a field, built to mark the centre of Scotland. It's nowhere near, really, but it'll do me. If you look south from the top of the hillclimb at Doune you can see it.
So that's central then. The Woodside is pretty receptive to rabbles, has decent rooms and there is plenty of alternative accomodation in the village.
It's not very boaty though, is it?

This will be why they're used to a rabble then! You'll be one of the Hogs I suppose or is that a different establishment.

Re: Whit aboot

I was referring to a sign that says "Hogs & Heifers" which I thought I'd seen next to the Woodside and assumed was the name of one of their bars.
