Oi Brownlee, that is Auchetermuchty, home of Jimmy Shand as well!
I used tae live in Freuchie for a god few years and my ex still lives there.
Story was that every time ther was a breakout from the local "special" hospital they Fife Polis automatically and immediately set up a cordon sanitaire around the 'Muchty.
If the loonies ever succeeded to break the cordon, there was nae fekin chance of finding them.
You mentioning Jimmy Shand reminds me of when I went for a weekend to Dunblane Hydro only to find that they had a Scottish Country Dancing weekend. I was hoping for a Highland Fling but no such luck.
Conan,
Lest I forget, I'm away for a short trip on Monday so can I offer you my best wishes for your forth-coming birthday the following week - you're twenty-first, I believe, but then I'm very gullible.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who wishes you all the best and keep up your brilliant and incisive work!

Oh yessssssss. Goal
ReplyDeletePerfect. You have Richard Baker to a tee... you're not him are you?
Three - nil, Gray, Baker and the world cup bid. What a guy!
ReplyDeletePS I think it's time for something sending up Ian McMillan of CBI Scotland for his regular shafting of the Scots. "Scotland pays for CBI failure"
ReplyDeleteThe guy in the blue looks as if he'd be a valuable asset to Hibs.
ReplyDeleteI take it Richard is not Joe Baker's son?
I could take that ath an inthult Trith.
ReplyDeleteCheers Dram.
Brownlie, stop imagining an alternate universe where Hibs win things, using the President of FIFA as some sort of bribable Soccer autochthon.
Like call one Dave did.
It's bad for your health.
Conan,
ReplyDeleteIf they won things all the time it would get boring and I'd stop supporting them, ahem.
~Stop confusing me with big words like "autochthon", Sounds like the place the Proclaimers come from.
Heh, like it Brownlie?
