Winter Approaches

[claymore]

The forecast for the day gives the first snows of the winter flying over the high ground.
The Sun has stopped rising through the middle kitchen window pane and has gone into the one on the right

But most of all - the sign that says winter is truly on its way - Dear Heart was seen cutting crosses on the bottoms of Brussels Sprouts last night - they should be well into their first boiling as I write.

Been a fast summer has it not?

Tis also the winter of human compassion .. I got this PM from one of my "friends"

Listen swankybum - I read your post where you said it was insured for £70K - don't come to me with your £5 problems
That would buy two of mine and give you change for 11 pints of the brown and foaming and a years supply of caulis.
Some republican you...!

What's the world comin to?

You started it by doubting my parentage. All I was trying to do was make light of the fact that you measured your luff incorrectly and got it stuffed up your windex when you furled it too vigorously. Did I refer to your complete mathematical incompetence? NO - Did I refer to the fact that it would have been sensible to go gently the first time you put it up there? (easy Tiger) NO. Did I berate you for buying a Froggie system in the first place? NO. Did I tell everyone on the forum that Glen Rosa is out of action and that we are going chez Para? NO
HAve you asked Para? NO
Did you call me a heartless wee bowlegged bastard of a poisoned dwarf? YES
Do you want me to go on? NO

Talk aboot spin ... ye'd beat a turbocharges gyroscopic Ally Campbell .. I merely mentioned I had a small problem with my roller reefing. To which you replied "Oh Good" at which I was immensely hurt. Had you said "OH guid!" it would hae been different. And anyway it wisnae me who measured the luff length anyway. And Ah didnae ken ye wiz a mind reader, ah'll hae to keep mah lead balaclava oan mair.

The accent of my yoof

I can speak the accent of my yoof, but I cannot spell it.

I heard that Vivien Leigh got into Gone with the Wind by repeating "Fohwer dohwer Forhwd" to herself before going on the set, I can do my original Brummie if I start, "Tyke a booz to Burming'am"

O'corst now ai've gone up market, don't y'know, I deny it all.

Re: aaah nice to see

How does anyone get confused between Cumnock and Kilbride, West or East? At least the West one is in the same county.
The only good thing to come out of Cumnock is the road to Ayr... unless your a Talbot supporter in which case its the road to Auchenleck. That said, he can't come from there. Maybe he's from NEW Cumnock and won't admit being an Afton man.

[Twister_Ken]

He was from Cumnock...

...But changed his birthplace to avoid thirst and injury.

It used to be that comely young sassenach lassies would ask where he was from.

"Come knock", he would reply.

"Blam" would go their sweet white palms across his gnarly old Jack Tar's face. "You should be ashamed of yourself, Grandad."

Depending on the hostelry in which this happened, he would either get thrown out, or cheered on.
