Aye....your spot on there General

[witchnettle]

to dr snoddy
thank you sir, for your prescription, i will be ready to participate whenever suits you,

as for ticketty boos' suggestion, i think that part will have to wait for the itching and swelling to subside a bit, from what mrs goat has told me that kind of activity usually causes quite a bit of chaffing.

I have a picture of Cooshie opening his suitcase and displaying his clothes to my mother....his bike visible out the kitchen window in the background.....'86 or '87 must have been one of his last visits.

I have often wondered if I should give it to someone or post it on here.

. please the pic John.

I will search for the pic JD

now snoddy 45 meenuits ahll niver be enough for my old tractor unless we go doon the new portrigh track but i think the gate is padlocked, however when i think about it i have a key that i bought in nickle and dime wi two fine sherp jaws.
but have you positivly identified that it wis a common wasp that did the dirty?
if i mind right itchy stings are a sure sign it wis a....a.... ach whitdaeyecallit................somthing like forestry wasp, the wan wi the bald heid that buzzez aboot amang the trees?
surely a rub wi a scouder wid do, it will fairly take yer mind off the itchin anyway.
a wee dab o "click" behind yer ear will keep all manner o pests away
save the G&T for the tractorman.

which wan o yon monkeys did i see plooin at beachmeanach malky?
it's fine to see another relation winnin anyway, even if she is another generation away!

that co-op van fair puzzels me, i thought it was blue????????
or was this wan on the road afore i was thought of?
man if thats raymond he doesna have such big turnups on his jeans nowadays!
but i see even then he couldna keep his hands off the electricals

[white settler]

gossip about my returning south are a bit premature, the people making offers on our property were really NOT the sort of people we wanted living in an old house of ours, they were not the kind of people we could trust to forward on our mail, catalogues from fortnum&masons etc.
i know we could pay the PO to do it but with all these strikes we just couldn't trust them either, damn communists.

fortnum&masons supply esential foods for people like us and would NEVER deliver from a van, no matter what vintage

we went to the family dance last night, what quaint noises from the "band" we did not recognise any of the music and some of those "dances" look positivly dangerous!

are they really called "gay" gordons (homophobic) and dashing "white" sargeants,isn't that a bit racist nowadays?

1967 I would say that was,definitely was'nt 66 and I do'nt think it was 68,and I can assure you the wee boy is Raymond.

I did'nt honestly expect anyone would remember me doing the rounds.I was always in too much of a hurry to get finished,it was a case of get them on the van"what do you want"and get them off.

Eddie McCallum was doing it for years before,and Bill Lithgow(??) drove the other van round the town housing schemes.
