And damn fine you know that I've got one of the finest collections of boat photos in all of Kintyre and maybe Argyll or beyond, well those that haven't been purloined by a few choice, but rogue pretenders. The yacht in question must have thrown a drogue anchor out to give the big fella a sporting chance of reaching the harbour restrictions ahead of the leisure fleet.
I'm not quite sure that I should risk sampling any of those wee blue pills that Snoddy has obviously been scattering around the village like confetti. They're saying that one of the elderly skippers had to have the cabin hatch enlarged with an oxy-acetylene axe, as his weekend doze of his recreational drug of choice was raising much more than a quizzical eyebrow.
Indeed it's often still working wonders on the following Monday evening, resulting in him resorting to bedding down in the relative discomfort of the wheelhouse platform. You would have thought that the bitter autumnal air would have been enough to take the wind out of his biblical sails, but the Monday Mitzen is allegedly still very much to the fore. I suppose its an extra spoke for the wheel when he's cantting at the top of the Sound, but I bet his wife's damn glad to hear the alarm clock on Monday morning, but my goodness the skate falling on the deck from the first lift of the day are said to look extremely nervous!
I've just been reading about that comical, dancing carry on, described very eloquently by that rogue/bleggard Sanyanya. Don't worry, we'll not let onto Mrs Morenish about thon night. We all know about envisaging the village belle in all her finery, ably aided and abetted by the best pair of German beer goggles money could buy.
Here now Morenish, your keeping me late, I've got another appointment for tonight and the heid man will no doubt make his displeasure known! I'd better keep an eye out for that plague witchnettle. With her denying all knowledge of the Spoot Wood, she's quite liable to be lurking around and looking for a fishermans' gait.
