I see thon Tejas critter trying tae post in Arabic, Maybe she meant it to be Scots tongue. Ach it jeest minded me on a gorilla at its first attempt at flower arranging. Nae offence hen.

Ah! You've seen my flower arranging then. My goal was to make it as nice as the gorilla's!

Thank god yer still in it bubbly, but you had better keep a low profile as there are some vindictive beggars in some of these threads. You better watch out for thon convoy vehicles as well. They're bad enough when Big Brunerican's artics are carrying the painted, tapered sewerage pipes up Loch Fyne side, but with a load like the one that you described, anything is possible.

Aye they're saying that the new pool will be the first in Scotland where the Leisure attendants force you to dip yer feet in the way oot. Apparently it has something to do with the floaters that might by-pass the filters on the way in. Not that I'm suggesting for one minute that Scottish Water could get it that wrong.

Morenish and 2nd Generation Soothend will be applying for the post along with PC Plum. They have nearly 100 years experience between the 3 of them, forcing sheep to take the plunge, whether they like it or not.

Don't even mention the on-going tupping on the fringes of the village. Our local log-splitter has hung up his bib & brace for the next month and pulled on something more comfortable. He gets up at the crack of dawn, stokes the stove before marching across the fields with a hell of a step through him. Needless to say, the sheep are extremely nervous, and don’t know which way to look. He’s hoping that Mrs Morenish will purchase him a lap-top with a wireless connection for Christmas, so that he can lie back on the trailer during the summer and keep up with his correspondence whilst the weans gather in the hay.

I meant to ask you bubbly, where have you been hiding. The site polis had even sent agents up to the village to try and track you down. As usual, they have been extremely cunning, dressing the enforcers up as coal-men, insurance agents, heid-mistresses & postmen.

They were obviously ordered to go forth into the drinking establishments and blend into the background. Not so easy at this time of the year, with a dearth of customers being the major drawback. Besides, the only time suits are seen in the village is when Blairs are up with the big black car, or the tax man cometh.

The fact that one of the said agents supported the opposite team to the majority of the others lined up along death row was the next problem. Even although all eyes were glued to the television screen, the squirming & squealing from the gentleman biting his hand to contain his appreciation was more than a dead give away.

The school children were all lined up by a stern looking wummin wae glesses. She said to them: ‘One of yer faithers or grand-faithers is bubbly jock! No one is going home until someone steps forward and tells the truth.’

Unfortunately, the only one that came forward was an orphan from Lithuania, who was ashore for a day or two to catch up with the curriculum, and didn’t really understand the question anyway.

What a waste of petrol for all concerned!

come away in bubbly!
it's good to hear yer dulcet gobble,gobble-de gook again.
i can tell this pool in the toons botherin you yit, an no wonder when it looks like the bigest pot ye could buy oot yon nickle n dime, a sensitive soul like yersel it must fair bring a tear to yer een

Are the weans still there? Thank God yon big wummin wisnae there when I went tae the school. She would frighten the feathers oot the quills.

Aye at times it was like the thirty nine steps. running through the wild wastes wae a load of site polis hot on my tail. I'll need tae be careful, you don't need tae see keech tae know it's there and I don't think the prevailing aroma is all floaters.

I hear the Post Office is buzzing wae who's bubbly. Yon John that does the post run up here, you know him that looks like Angus the author says the topic got a wee bit heated at times.

They're even blaming the big magnates who have recently amalgamated to sell coal tae the masses. One's supposed tae be bubbly and the other Jock the coalman. Hope they don't fall oot there'll be stoor everywhere

I've managed tae avoid the ritualistic murder that goes on every year above and below the Mason Dixie line but I still have tae be wary of the pagan festivities approaching on this side of the burn. So I'll be keeping a low profile 'till it's all past.

Richt gled ah am tae see the Bubbly beck wher he is much appreciated! Its guid tae see that he's still worried aboot the new pool in the toon. Ah wis wunnerin if it wis goannie be used as a heeder tank by the Scottish Waater fur when the level in the Long Row starts tae drap they cin use it tae prolong the floodin!

I have tae say it's the biggest abortion that I've seen for a long time. I hear the technology inside is like a spaceship but nobody knows how tae work it.

God knows how long it'll lie closed when things go wrong and we have tae wait months tae get it fixed. If it takes a month for the Sky guy tae come tae the coop tae fix the box, how long will it take the techno whizzes tae reach this wee penis of Scotland

Aye it'll all end in tears but I'm still looking forward tae the opening day. Hope it's raining and the cooncillors wig gets wet.

[GarySutherland]

I see the new pool is starting tae fall doon before it's up. Well I for one hope that it's stays up long enough for the open day. Wouldn't like tae deprive the cooncillors of their free swalla and nosh.

I saw where a lot of the facing of the pool had fallen off. Was this in the strong winds the other night? Did it all fall down or only bits, and they had to pull the rest down before they could put new up again? What a mess.

Cheers

No bubbly, the children are all home, safe and well. Luckily they'd had broth for their lunch, followed by roast pork, sprouts and 'Erchie Toasters', topped off with custard & prunes that day.

When the young bochan realised what was in the offing, he downed a full bottle of Dunsade in a oner. 15 minutes later he was primed and ready to deploy a silent but deadly biological weapon. Much more effective than teargas, forcing the teachers to climb over the backs of the children to escape out the windows.

In the ensuing confusion, the children locked the be-spectacled wummin in the classroom cupboard with a follow through from the Wee Fla, and she was eventually stretchered out to a waiting ambulance, looking decidely green around the gills. Blue lights all the way to Smerby Bridge, but the left hander at the bottom followed by the sharp left, then hard right before Crossibeg, brought the whole experience to a sudden and rushing conclusion.

We haven't seen hide nor hair of her since, but no doubt we haven't seen or heard the last of her, or this episode either. Every cloud has a silver linning though bubbly, at least it takes the focus off yersel for a day or two. Should give you time to settle back in and get yer feet back below the table! Just don't be looking at any of those menus being touted around the town at this time of year. What ever happened to teachers the likes of Peggy?

Meanwhile we've been feeding the boy naething but burnt toast in an effort to stem the flow of gases!

Aye Bochan mor, I did hear right enough that a fart from the dale could clear the Vic. Was it wan of them Oman specials. Wee buggers right enough. Maybe some charcoal fae the ashes in the dips on the ferm road at Morenish's would help.

Just don't be looking at any of those menus being touted around the town

I could'nae help seeing wan of these menus and it widnae dae tae be a vegetarian like myshelf. Everything on the menu I saw used tae have a face except the mushrooms and who in hells kitchen is going to pay for a plate of mushrooms on the staff night oot. Ach well each tae their own.

You would think corn grits and scones would be on the menu. I can jeest see the fancy name they would give tae that.

"Medallions of the purest corn from the Prairies of Manitoba and served wae the finest Lofty Peak flour scones wae succulent butter, made to the chefs own recipe"

Aye maybe somebody will take up the challenge "A Meal Fit for Bubbly"

Ach I'm starting tae haver I'm away tae the milking

Think there is talk they are going to be serving bubble(y) and squeak on a platter.

[bubbly jock]

Aye not many of the immigrants do understand the question.......

[Bobbie En Tejas]

Bubbly! I didn't know you were English!!

Actually, I knew that about bubble and squeak, but I had my first bubble and squeak at a bed and breakfast in Scotland, so, lay back and enjoy as they serve you up.

[Bitter End]

Bubble an squeak wid be the soons cummin oot o a turkey thet wis held ticht by its scrawnny neck whilst bein lowered intae a cauldron o bilin waater as if it wis a puir wee pillan!
