Hootsmon Headlines

For all you pedants, I know there is a fifty year gap between the Act of Union and Deacon Brodie; but it is the Hootsmon after all.

  1. Super new format. I nearly thought it was a copy of the first edition of the Hootsmon. Until I stuck the magnifying glass on of course.

    Artistic licence Conan. That's the excuse all writers use isn't it.

  3. Ha, ha, ha - excellent stuff again. You are clearly getting out from under the roof leaks!

  4. Thanks Rosa, It's my excuse and I shall stick to it.

    Bugger, the Hootsmon is like having a steering wheel in my groin-it's driving me nuts.

    Most of the work's done now Dram, only the bathroom left.

  5. That, Conan, has to be the best ever... and that's saying something.

    6/5!

  6. "A Scotch rabble is the very worst kind. For every one for there are 99 against."

    Now if the "Scotch" will just remember who they are, Scotland might get somewhere--like being a country in its own right instead of the tag end of Merry Old England.

    *ahem* Maybe I should leave now while I'm still able.

  8. There is a fifty year gap between the Act of Union and Deacon Brodie. Get a grip!

    I suspect this Hootsmon is a fake - there is no "accused" in the head-line!

  9. Hmmmph! Lazy (appropriate Scottish expletive)!

    He's spending time with the grand-weans instead of posting something amusing for us! It's not to be tolerated.

    Someone report him to the Madaxe.

  10. Welcome Veitchy.

    John the Pedant; well it's actually sixty-one...

    Jeanne, always wanting attention, needing their nappy changed, they're hard work, Niko and Brownlie...

  11. Don't be so bloody pedantic, Conan, if there's one thing I hate it's pedants.

  12. Me too, John. Er, shouldn't there be some sort of punctuation between "hate" and "it's", and should not there be a point after Conan and a new sentence at "If"?


    But I have to say, I agree with the main thrust of your argument. There's nothing so irritating as a pedant, unless of course it's Richard Baker, or what's his name Green, no, Gray.
