Transphobia
Thepnr: while you’re here, and for what it’s worth, you had nothing to apologise for, as I saw it. I don’t think anyone likes to be called “bloody stupid”, particularly one (yourself) who always posts thoughtfully and constructively.
Mr P. is an institution, and his constitutional stuff is important, but we all get cranky sometimes and I suspect he feels bad himself or may be unwell.
It’s not your fault and it takes two to tango.
Did someone say “Tango”?

@Thepnr, Smallaxe, Nana –

Really appreciate yer efforts to help me. Haven’t nailed anything definite so far, and am surprised how difficult it is to get access to newspaper archives.
Anyway, it’s not a big deal. I can make-do with other images.
Hope ye’s are all having a braw week-end. I took my son to play snooker for the first time earlier this evening, and it was brilliant, had forgotten how much I love that game, just worked out that it’s been 20 years since I last played it. He loved it, has only ever played pool, and it turns out we’ve got a pretty good wee local club, Potters in Stevenston, with decent snooker tables. He’ll be finishing school same time I finish uni, so I have a sneaky wee feeling we’ll be seeing a lot of the place over this summer. We can mis-spend some time together before he flies the coop!

@Ian Brotherhood
2nd best is never good enough. You know what you want to use so I’m afraid you are just having to go to the Mitchell Library to get it.
Your at the end of your course now and I know how hard that is, I actually cried a couple of months before mine finished because “normal” life was so hard.
So for you own sake and to make your dissertation the best it can be get you arse down to the library where the informtion you seek is there.
One day of your life after all the years. Must be worth it.
Good luck Ian.
@Smallaxe –
I’m sure I would, if I could…can’t get onto YT tonight at all, just getting screeds of image-free gibberish.
Might as well go back to the MT then, eh!
@Thepnr –
Aye, you’re right…

It’s a frustrating time, people getting jaded, still a fair way to go to IR2. I was spending maybe 80% of my time on Wings, I’ve cut that to less than 20%. To be honest it’s more enjoyable posting on the Express. But meanwhile previous NO voters are thinking things over, people with influence. Still not there yet, for instance this MEP is still thinking a third question might do the job. Something I think we all know would be completely worthless.
This guy has been very intelligent and open, supportive of Scotland in the EU, and perhaps has been a strong mover for gathering support in his group, the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament, who have 69 members. Basically it seems to me to be that there’s a majority supporting Scotland’s position, and the EU Parliament is pretty influential. link to archive.is doesn’t archive the whole article but does the job. I’d say he’s halfway there, and would be a big catch for YES. Worth watching. There will be others! Bye now 😎
@yesindyref2
I do pay attention you know and you have been targeted LOL True but why concern yourself? Come back and fight the good fight.
Only dogs lie down when told and we’re not dogs.
@Thepnr
Indeed, but sometimes when you’ve done all you can, there’s still one more thing you can do – absolutely nothing 🙂 I note you did the same for a bit, and seems to me, in our absence others are starting to do more now.

Great night, Smallaxe but I think I’ve thrown my hip out and I’m taking my zoot suit to the dry cleaners this morning.
Who left the sachet of French mustard on the bench, eh?
Eh?
Good Morning all.
Isn’t Scotland a wonderful place to be on a Sunday morning?
It is for me, let’s keep it like that and dump those that would take it all away. And for what? For this.

I’m sure, like myself, you have noticed the number of times a thread has been spoiled by needless argument caused by some “New Names” who then slink back into darkness.

Sorry, Mucker, no joy! I’ve been on the hunt, on and off, since Saturday trying to get you some Scottish titles from 1994 on Kelman. Surely one of those rags must have celebrated and promoted his achievement? What a sorry state of affairs we live in. Anyway, i’m sure you’ll do well without it. All the best!
Nana:
I hope you are well enough to have seen the great result on the M/T regarding the fundraiser and I know you will be as pleased as we all are. I know that I speak for everyone in saying that we are missing you and hope that you are back with us as soon as you are well enough to do so.Not before then!

Our opponents are in desperation.
That screeching noise is barrels being scraped.
A team that is losing looks to the subs bench as it ponders its salvation and there are signs that this is going on in the management of our unionist opposition. There appears to be no subs bench for the LibDems but the other two seem perhaps to have a couple of possible substitutions warming up.
As the hapless Kezia underperforms and Labour sink towards single digit ratings we are seeing a lot of Anas Sarwar at the moment (like today for instance). One might have expected Alex Rowley but on recent performance he would have been very unlikely to inject any pace or purpose into the team so Anas it seems to be. I rub my hands in anticipation.
On the other side, despite about two years of unquestioning promotion and very generous refereeing by a media which is a disgrace, Ruth has made very little progress (and did herself demonstrable damage recently). When the people start laughing at you your political career is all downhill from that point and the Tories are anchored in the bottom half of the table in the low twenties.
So the board, which operates from London of course, gave a few run-outs to Murdo recently. But he was unable to grab his opportunity and we are looking at the professor. Adam Tomkins of course is a transfer as in recent times he was with another team, having addressed a rally on Calton Hill, Edinburgh supporting, with Tommy Sheridan, Rosie Kane and Colin Fox, an independent Scottish Socialist Republic.
When that team was relegated the professor moved from the left wing to the right wing, figuratively speaking.
To those who doubt his commitment to his new team I can assure them he has not ditched his principles. His move merely means he had no principles to ditch. Having had a close look at the failing Scottish Labour ship he must have judged that it was going down and the Tories (who have been anointed as saviours of the union by the London establishment) offered a better chance of staying up.
I anticipate if he wants to continue any sort of political career he may be contemplating knocking on Nicola’s door in the not too distant future.
The professor’s previous frolics would be a serious impediment of course and Annabel Goldie lookalike Jackson Carlaw seems to be getting warmed up instead.
Cheer this place up a bit!

Cheers Brian, Its that sort of idea, but the one on the Indy Scot sight has a worn/distressed look, and more like a drawn effect.
I saw the one you posted on internet images.

Hi Folks, I’ve noticed that Smallaxe has gone AWOL for a couple of days now.
Does ayeone know if he’s all right? I know he said at the weekend that, just like Nana, he had a sore throat and not feeling too grand. We know how serious the health problems are for Smallaxe, it’s always a worry when folk check out for a day or two.
Anyways Nana and Smallaxe, get well soon, we miss you very much.
WOS is a strange being isn’t it, most of us are total strangers, but we blether away together like auld friens, and care about each other. Nice that.
Things are awfy quiet on here. One for Smallaxe, TC, Michael, Ian B, Ronnie etc
link to youtube.com
KC this one is for you and Nana. Guy Clark- The Guitar (Eric Clapton’s Secret) link to youtube.com
Yes, Marie, things awfie quiet w/o Smallaxe and Nana.
The Home Secretary and I are in Inveraray for a wee break. Nice to see so many saltires in the area, e.g. the big flagpole in Lochgilphead.
KC: hope you are baking scones for Nana. Experimenting with my goat surprise canapés at the moment. Can drone them over at short notice.
Ben Oovi within my range, Fred.
😎
A song about my canapés:
link to m.youtube.com
@KC –
Cheers for the tune.
Aye, it’s quiet right enough.
Here’s hoping the bold Smallaxe is okay, and Nana too.
Marie’s right – a lot of us have become good friends, and we’ll remain so, no matter what happens. That’s one of the great strengths of this place – for every one of us who actually posts, there are probably another hundred who also feel part of this family and get concerned when someone isn’t well or goes awol.
It does sound a bit sappy, but we have to help each other out as and when. Paula Rose has had a tough week, and I hope she’ll be back here soon on a regular basis to get some TLC (and get that fekkin’ conservatory knocked into shape!). The haters may grind us down from time to time, but they can’t get us all simultaneously. We stay together, we remain focused on what we want – because what we want is right – and we let things take their natural course. That means, one day, we will be posting here to make arrangements for the first post-indy Friends of Wings celebration. The haters know it, we know it, the bookies know it, and the world knows it.
The big man’s not here to say it, so I’ll say it for him, and I’m sure he won’t mind…
Love and Peace, always, all ways!

A Brexit song?
Christy Moore, ‘Deportees’ –

@TC –
🙂
‘Rubber Bullets’
Blimey…
You just gave me a wee thought there…
If we had a WOS karaoke night, what would you do?
Come on now…we could have a bit of fun with this. It’s all very well posting links to this or that track, but getting up and delivering a personal rendition is another thing altogether.
I suppose we could have two categories: the songs you’d ‘like’ to do when you’re high as a kite, full of joie de vivre an’ aw that, and the ones you know you can get away with when you’d rather not do it at all but have to keep face.
So, I hereby ask all WOS O’Ters to submit two choices.
One you’d like to do, and one that you actually ‘do’.
Come on! Let’s give Smallaxe and Nana something to laugh at as and when they revisit this place.
🙂
Good idea, Ian.
1. Whole Lotta Rosie
2. A Man’s A Man
I can also break-dance to Bruckner’s 7th Symphony, btw.
Okay Ian.
1. Sweet Child of Mine
2. Little Old Wine Drinker Me.
Tinto Cheil, I’d like to see the break dancing boy, awesome.
@TC & Marie –
Splendid opening suggestions.
I’m going to give this some serious thought…
We could have the kernel of a soo-perb social night here!
🙂
Tinto, back in Glesga, Ben Oovi Baltic, what we’re needin is hot sun on our backs!
Hope Smallaxe n Nana will be back soon.
Ian, aye no bad for a start, but I think the highlight of the night would be Tinto’s break dancing. I only hope that he disnae break something. Us auld yins dinnae bounce back the same way we used tae,
Yippee – karaoke! Now which two Dusty tracks do I pick, difficult choice I’ll get back to you, I’m in the conservatory tarting up the paintwork if you need me.
Yes, Paula, karaoke.
I suggest we do it this evening as a kind of ‘dry-run’ for the real thing.
And Marie, please don’t worry about the bold TC – a sniff of white spirit or, better still, turps, and that’s him off. He sometimes spins so fast you can’t see his feet. Impressive.
@ Ian Brotherhood 6 April 11:02pm Sorry Ian I can not sing to save myself. You have more chance of Rock Buying the National Than me Singing. Saying that Looking forward to the Karaoke. Anyway here is a wee song for all you Singers. link to youtube.com
Not sure if this has been posted previously .
Starships song We built this city, the words could easily be changed to We built this city with Scotland’s oil, just to sum up our relationship with Slumdon.
If this has been posted before ,apologies.

It’s all about lists and them bridges 😉
Love Scotland.
Evening, Groovers’n’Chinas.
Marie, please don’t worry. As Ian says, some turps/Bay Rum/15-y-o Aberlour normally lubricates the joints superbly. Indeed, I believe some ladies have been known to pass out at the sight of my birlin’ snake hips: the curse of my animal allure/magnetism. It’s tough being a phenomenon, as Cactus knows (great voice btw).
Delighted the lovely Paula Rose is back to Do some Dusty.
Fred: on our way back from Inverary, we clocked the Yes/Freedom convoy passing through Callander. Great stuff: all saltires and smiling faces. Well done, vile Caledonian seps.
Wings17: I’m in ( but I have to be home by 10 o’clock for ma Horlicks).
Tinto I’m relieved to hear the reassurances from Ian and your good self. I widnae like you tae dae yersel a serious mistchief, whit wid Mrs TC say aboot that.
It’s shaping up nicely and I look forward to Paula Rose with her Dusty tunes.
I’ll have to get a note from my mammy to excuse myself from wings for a few days, the old boy and I are taking yin o the grandaughters ( 14 going on 24) away for a few days in the auld motorhome. So I’ll see you all when I get back.
Maybe by that time Nana and Smallaxe will have returned to the fold, I fair miss them.
Nae probs, Marie, and don’t worry about the Home Secretary: she regularly locks me in the greenhouse until I learn to behave. I suspect she and Nana text behind my back.

Polly#ayerobot is a Twitter pal.
She lost her Dad on April 4th.
It was three years ago on that date we had the first big WOS social in the Counting House in Glasgow.
I told Polly we’re having this ‘karaoke’ night and I’d put up some of her Da’s favourite sounds as a wee tribute. Sadly, I can’t get on Youtube right now. Will keep trying, but in the meantime, could anyone please post YT links for ‘You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling’, ‘Delilah’, and/or anything by The Who?
Polly’s Dad is Hugh, so let’s dedicate a few good sounds to the man.
Hoots all, as aye.
Actually, Ian, if I can’t get a tight combo for my Rosie, I could substitute this for my snake hips exposure: it’s a lot easier to play.

@Smallaxe
Good to see you post. 🙂
Macart, my Friend, thank you. I’m not ready to come back fully yet, I have some healing to do on myself. Keep everyone talking on off topic it’s good to see.
Too many people on the main thread arguing with each other, sad to watch. We should be of one mind with one goal, the SNP are just the key to freedom. Freedom, for Scotland and Her diversity of people to build a world class nation for all of us.
Peace, Love and Harmony for all of us will come, the wheels are turning.
Peace Always, All Ways.
Smallaxe! mon amis Manque! saw your post on the other side, usual sterrheid rammy, “her in the close has three streitches oot again the day!” Welcome back kid.
Morning, Smallaxe. Good to hear from you.
Look after yourself.
Saw two beautiful wee bullfinches yesterday and thought of you and your birdy gravatar.
All the best. Lay off the border patrols for a while.
Good to see you post Smallaxe.
Take your time getting back up to speed on here,just take care of the really important things first… Speaking of which Love to Mrs Smallaxe….
No need to reply to this just pop in and say Hi now and again so we don’t worry.
@Smallaxe
Workin’ on it. 🙂

To All,
Excuse, if I ramble, please. I am fighting through the cotton wool of chemicals, I need meditation to beat medication. 🙂
Paula Rose: Stay here, please and clean up my mess. Sorry for being so untidy in the past.
I have been, for a long time, trying to get a look inside the minds of unionists by mixing with them where they fester.
A majority of them are sheep, eating the shit that their leaders are only too happy to feed them.Some of them will come over to our side, given time…. A time that we may not have!
Masonic lodges: Many are already on our side in Scottish lodges, most are just like you and me, they and their families would have to live with the same disastrous consequences of Brexit if it is forced upon us.
The Royal Arch: This is where the politics are discussed well away from any ordinary freemason, who the Grand Master is should tell you all that you need to know!
HRH The Duke of Kent
Grand Master of the United Grand Lodge of England. In this capacity, he is the Head of Freemasonry in England and Wales.
O/Order(Moronic Lodges): Here the hatred is being ramped up to 11.Steer clear!

This is the time for the young people who will be of an age to vote in Indy2, it will be their own future and the lives of their as yet unborn families that they will be voting for. Treat them with love and respect, teach them the lessons that all of us on WoS have learned throughout our lives of political and practical truth.We are all equal only when we can make our own decisions, there is no (2nd or 3rd) “other way”.
I would like to say more but this post has taken me over 2hrs to write and check if it makes any sense, I hope it does.
The EU, UN and all else are our shields, for now, only after Indy can any decisions concerning them be made.
Hope to be back to “me” and back talking with all of you as soon as..

Got a pair of marigolds if it’s any help but I’m not touching the plant pot on the carpet where SOMEONE left a little calling-card.
@TC –
Wisnae me.
A friend who once worked in Glasgow’s Mitchell Library told me, oooh, over twenty years ago, about an ‘extraordinary’ meeting of the high heid yins.
It was to decide what to do about a rogue kiltie who was leaving marks on the upholstered seats, each of which cost hundreds of quid. I don’t know if he was barred, or they insisted on him donning underwear, or if they somehow ‘checked’ that he was safe before allowing entry (a mirror on a stick…) He was a well-kent figure on and around Sauchiehall Street, wore the bunnet with the feather, and he had a proper wee swagger which made the kilt swirl around.
I actually wrote a short play about it, called ‘A Wee Problem’, but couldn’t flog it. Must dig it out sometime. It surely has some socio-anthropological value…
Just coming to the end of a great weekend in Liverpool visiting my daughter.
Had tickets for Aintree for Christmas from the wife and my sons pal got us tickets today for Everton v Leicester. Pretty tired to be honest but the scousers are great people and always make the Scots welcome.
So as I said a great weekend. Here’s a tune from a great Liverpool band, it’s not the band you think nor the tune lol.
link to youtube.com
Hey Ian did you have any success in your hunt for the James Kelman articles?
Anyone who watched that last video probably wouldn’t have liked it if you didn’t like Donnie Darko the film.
Well don’t watch this if you don’t like football, from another Liverpool band, no it’s not the one you might think?
link to youtube.com
@Thepnr –
Cheers for asking mister.
I’ve got heaps of stuff, way more than enough. It was just the images I was after, one front-page in particular. It’s not a big deal but I really really appreciate abody helping me out, it gave me a few wee precious extra bits and bobs I can use to tie together some stuff which otherwise probably wouldn’t be making the final cut.
So that’s me all set now, just have to sit down and write the fekker!
Enjoy what’s left of yer weekend, and a safe trip home.
🙂
@Smallaxe –
Dear ‘big brother’, if you see this, thanks for letting us know you’re still there.
Can’t imagine what you and your family are going through right now, but we’re as ‘with you’ as possible given the circumstances.
I’m not much of a one for ‘praying’, but if simply thinking about someone ‘counts’ then I have been.
Our day is coming brother. It will break many hearts if you’re not there to see it.
Peace, love, and more power to ye, ya fekkin’ legend.

Here’s another cracker, she played Glashow last year, think their due back soon
link to Www.youtube.com
They really don’t like Mr Peffers do they?
Ah huv ma suspicions about the latest one, they’re certainly an avid and long term reader and with huuuge chip in their shoulder about Robert…hmmm…
What Ian said Smallaxe…wi bells 😉
Ian B @10.21: eloquently put. And so say all of us.
Your kilt story reminded me of a rather, hem, unorthodox Sunday School teacher I had for a mercifully short time. He wore a kilt when performing his duties but he then suddenly disappeared from his post.
Over the next few years I would see him about my town with a shorter and shorter kilt until he finally graduated to a skirt and make-up and drove an SMT bus.
All part of life’s rich tapestry…..
K1: I can only conclude that the ordure flung at Robert Peffers is because the sovereignty argument worries The Establishment a lot. I notice the FM now refers to the S word and I am sure she’s about to whack Treeza with it when she gets her dismissive response.
Same goes for the attacks on The National. It would not be done if that newspaper did not worry our enemies.
Love to all the O/T Nutters

Mrs M and I have been oot enjoyin’ a bit of an anniversary celebre this weekend so just caught up reading the last main thread.
Basically WTF!?!
Aye. That about sums it up.
Nevermind zoomer alert, more zoomer klaxon. I usually make it a cast iron rule never to get involved when these idiotic accusations from new names start appearing. Its always been move on to folk with names and opinions you value for whatever reason. Which is kinda the whole point of open threads and discussions. It’s up to the individual who they talk to, who they consider friendly or indeed a friend and they can read through or not as they choose.
But OMFG!
No one, but no one comes onto a thread and tells me who I should or should not find worthwhile or interesting.
Very good Smallaxe, even the “Dookers” got a look-in!
Fred: #Manky Mates.
If nothing else I’m inclusive.
🙂
Peace Always
Macart:
“Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant;
they too have their story.”
And tell the others, who tell you who you should talk to or not, to go and have Aerial Coitus with themselves.
Tell them to take a flying fuck, in other words.
🙂
Peace Always
Smallaxe, did you know Aerial Coitus is an anagram of Ruth Davidson?
The fruit loops on the M/T are getting worse and more obvious, I think, but I take it as a sign of desperation. I salute those who can be bothered replying but I normally follow The Macart Doctrine of a few weeks ago:
link to youtube.com
@Tinto Chiel
Still pretty much the doctrine TC, but when I came back to see some … whatever the hell it is… pulling an msm and telling folks who to dislike, who to listen to, who is worthy and who is not?
Could hardly believe what I was seeing.
Anyroads, normal service will be resumed. People, stick to those you feel comfy with and give new names time to contribute. See where the land lies as it were. If you see what you consider poor behaviour, or even outright appalling behaviour, then leave it to the Rev. He has hammers.
Walk on by those you consider offensive or insulting to whatever degree. You’re all good people here and you care about the site and each other. Don’t let the poison pills win.
I’m ‘skimming’ the threads these past few days…Tis indeed a bad case o’ Fuckwit Infestation we are witnessing.
Remaining so far so stchum…like a good Winger 😉

Can you or anyone else please repost the links to all wards in off topic or even just the thread where you originally posted them? I can’t find any bloody thing when I search online, all I get is electoral commission stuff.
Anyways I’d aprreciate if you or anyone else could, I need to let folks know from different parts of Glasgow who their potential candidates are. People are not generally switched on when it comes to council elections and they need more detail this time more than ever.
Cheers in advance!

Your kind thoughts re Smallaxe and Nana I can only echo.
Worrying times.
Had an auld sadly-departed buddy who when young left telling his beloved he was “aff tae the dugs!” No names here but as she sat with needles gaun, watchin the box, who should appear on-screen on “Come Dancing” from the Locarno Ballroom but the bold dug-fancier. I think it was a “Casualty!” result anyhow.

You can miss out the last vote, as it makes no difference.
I too have never voted Tory, and never will.
Sorry Juteman, but it does.
We all have to get used to the idea that ranking the Tory last is not a for, but a vote against!
Don’t leave it to fate, rank them last and you will vote them down.

Smallaxe: “Enjoy the game.”
Wouldn’t go that far but at least my Proud Cybernat mug lived to see another weekend.
Heard a delightful expression today addressed to the principal match official, “Hey (name deleted to protect the innocent), yer just a wee stumer!”
Other comments I could not repeat, describing strange sexual practices, including new slants on animal husbandry.
Oh, the banter!
Enjoy your catching up with the threads.
This composition has quite a story attached to it but in the quiet hours it has beautiful power:

This funny, cool spring is still beautiful and I feel my dear old country is turning in the right direction.

Smallaxe, you sound in fine form mister. It would appear that Rock selected you for the treatment this evening, and just ended-up making himself look more of a dick than usual. I can’t get onto The Youtube, otherwise I’d’ve posted link to ‘Roll Away The Stone’.
I hope someone will put up some good sounds. My record-player is Friar Tucked, the sodding belt’s gone again so it keeps doing that wobbly mwaahheeuahrr stuff which makes you feel much more pished than you actually are.
I think I’m just tired, got to leave again tomorrow and I really don’t want to go sniff sniff.
So I tell myself get on with it you sniveling creature because at times that’s exactly what I am. Know this though I too have a VOW and that is I will never lie down to to Tory rule.
I despise them for a reason, they are the enemy of the ordinary person, that’s US they are our enemy. Who could deny that when welfare payments are being withdrawn or in fact denied for so many of the poorest in this country.
Just say NO by voting YES.
And now a merry tune played very recently by Smallaxe in response to one I put up but it does bring a smile so well worth a watch. Here we go again.

Hey, Smallaxe, heard this lovely wee thing down the Clyde early this morning:

I know you love Ra Burdz!
Ian: what vile cybernattery has occasioned your YouTube probs? Always knew you were unspeakably vile! 😛
Anyhow:

Thepnr: they’re on the run. Ruthie’s now a busted flush. Don’t think she’ll be doing ANY canvassing on the doorsteps now.
Pelters doesn’t cover it.
But I live in hope of a visit…..
As the months and years run by it gets harder and harder to be original here on Off Topic with something that’s never been been played before.
I looked at the Beautiful South whose songs I like and there were choices. Some of them good but true to form I’ve gone for MY old favourite. Must be a psychological thing but I couldn’t care less I just like tune and the sentiment. It’s like a Scottish thing, ken.
link to youtube.com
OK that was a mite depressing so here’s something a bit more uplifting I hope.

Just winding you up and watching to see whose paying attention 🙂
For all my good Friends on O/T. Thank you for your Friendship and support.
Your names will all be here,

Rock on. 😉
Peace Always
Something original well not sure if this is original but i will be amazed if you have heard of these guys.

Now, older folk can’t hear this wee gem ‘cos his song is quite high.

The Gaels call it The Madness of Spring.
@Smallaxe
Well that was profound but I loved it. Eek.
@DerekM
That was a good laugh and I loved that too. Wingers are weird LOL.
Thanks to you both.
Ska is always welcome Derek and your right, I’d never heard of them.

Peace Always
@Tinto Chiel
Well where can I start? I’m definitely the sentimental type but will stand my ground if need be.
I have a heart and have found that those Wingers I have met are not much different from myself. That response to my Birdie song was pure class and I smiled all the way through, truly I did, it’s the best thing I’ve I’ve ever watched on Off Topic so Thank You.
Some people have their head screwed on right and some others don’t at least that’s my opinion.
Peace, tolerance, compassion, love, sympathy, empathy, justice, democracy, understanding, these are things I care about and I can’t understand why more don’t feel the same way.
I know that especially here on Off Topic we are talking to the converted but that’s fine, I find some peace here and some laughter. I want to smile too sometimes despite the misery I see around me and the anger I often feel because of the governments we elect.
Let’s keep smiling and a wee birdie tune is always welcome where I am. Ta very much Tinto. It was brilliant and a welcome back to sanity.
Smallaxe: Kezia and Wee Willie Winkie make a lovely couple, don’t they?
If anyone can’t sleep, this ain’t goin’ to help:

Bwahahahahahahahahahaha!
Love the birdsong at the start.
You know, before STUFF happens……………
@Smallaxe
What? There is more than one of them Rocks FFS. But no, I’m no giving in.
“Peace, tolerance, compassion, love, sympathy, empathy, justice, democracy, understanding, these are things I care about and I can’t understand why more don’t feel the same way.”
Just so, Thepnr.
As a Friend would say, Peace and Love Always.
Don’t think I can make the Big March in May, ‘cos Mrs TC has a Significant Birthday, so we’ll be in California and will miss the big turn out.
If I meet Yon Trump: Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Thepnr and Tinto:
You are both absolutely right if anyone objects to peace love and compassion, I find that seriously worrying especially when confronted with the heartless bastards we are up against. I had to be in Belfast during the time of the “Troubles” it was like a look into hell and I’m sure that none of us would want to see Our Scotland having to go through anything approaching what I saw over there.
Anyway here’s a cuntry and western song to cheer us all up,

By the way, that’s not a typo that you see up there: Adults only.
Peace Always
I should say, Thepnr, I got unusually angry on the M/T tonight, responding to some very cheap comments. Good to talk with you. O/T is a good place to find some R&R, I think. Can’t speak for everyone but I regard yourself and Macart as pretty much elder statesmen on here.
We’ll get there, I have no doubt. My daughters won’t accept anything less 😀
K1 will be laughing ‘cos I used to advise non-engagement.
A case of the biter bit at last, eh?
Vinceremos!
Aw, Smallaxe! And just before I go up Wood Hill to Bedfordshire!
“The horror! The horror!”
*Grues and grues again*
@Tinto Chiel
I did notice, which as you say is unlike you. That’s why i apologised not specifically to Rock but I wondered how he would respond.
Truth is I shouldn’t even be wondering about that. I sometimes feel like this. It’s pathetic I know but not if your me.
I’ve played this song here at least five times, maybe I’m an idiot but I don’t care about wearing my heart on my sleeve. It’s like you know, kinda how I feel. Truth be told I should shut up mow.

There’s ‘don’t engage’ and there’s ‘get tae fuck’…discernment’s the key in those type of situations, (on or off line), best to trust yer instincts and yer heart in these matters.
I’ve noticed when it comes from the heart and it’s not just ‘spouting’ it has a genuine effect. (oh, and if several ‘heart’s’ combine…the increased intensity is ‘felt’, they usually scarper pretty fast). It worked tonight, it really did nip it…he went wi his tail between his legs tonight. 😉
Guid tae see ye posting again Smallaxe…be well 🙂
Hi, K1, Good to see you on my Friend. Now I know why this song was written and who for!
🙂

I know what your talking of K1 I decided to have a wee break from the main thread and choose to spend my time among friends in Off Topic instead.
Great birdy tune from TC tonight, check it out, sure you will like it it 🙂
@Smallaxe
Spooky stuff, absolutely one of my favourite songs. I’m not a Rock I’m just a normal feeling human being.
To ‘Good guys’, Pal stands for Peace and Love.
To ‘Wanks’, Pal stands for Profit and Loss.
That’s their worldview, everything beautiful reduced to its cash value, to how much they can sell it for.
I don’t want that ‘balance sheet is king’ mentality. As a good book says: The love of money is the root of all evil.
Consider the Tory mindset, where they happily target women and children with the #RapeClause for the measly sum of £13 a week.
If you want proof that the Tories have lost their way, indeed have lost their humanity, this Westminster legislation is it. Rant over.

We are of one heart and one mind as far as the freedom of our country and our people are concerned that is all that matters. Together we will see this through to the end which I am sure will be favourable, we have right on our side and good people fighting only for what is rightfully ours.

Makes ye wonder if that’s where he took his name from Smallaxe! Uncanny resemblance richt enough 😉
Aye Thpnr, lovely tweets fae Tinto…bloody watched that ‘View from a hill’ while ah wis at it! Forewarned wisnae forearmed! Seriously though they don’t make wee plays like that anymore, slightly ‘Tales of the Unexpected’ feel about it, actually really enjoyed it ! 🙂
*hauls oot binoculars tae check unner the bed’*
Hopefully, I’m back full time, still got a lot to catch up with, (checking up that you’ve been behaving for instance)
😉
Peace Always my Good Friend
@Smallaxe
I haven’t gone to bed yet, guess I’m still a bit uptight. Or maybe I’m raging and angry LOL that’s possible.
Why though? Who should I rage at or be angry at?
You don’t need me to give you that answer, anyone with half a brain knows the answer. Some though just won’t admit the truth even when talking to themselves.
We’re different Smallaxe so is Tinto Chiel, K1, Ian B, David, Dave M Hill, Stoker, Fred, William Wallace, Paula Rose, Marie Clark, DerekM, Drew Anderson, Fred, Croompenstein, Juteman, Macart, Cactus, definitely not forgetting my good friend Michael McCabe, nor Lenny Hartley, Liz g or uno mas, Gary45% or KC I haven’t forgot you either.
Last but not least a good friend of mine from YES city which he helped make it be. Brian Doonthetoon big hand clap for you Brian.
Right I’m really very very sorry if I missed any from this page and only this page, there are over 25,000 posts and I couldn’t read them all.
Your all great people anyway, and what I have to say makes no difference. You’ll still be great.
Thepnr:
As you said, we are only ordinary people but together we make ourselves great and together we will make a great Nation for our children and grandchildren to be proud of and to grow and prosper in.
That is why we are all here, isn’t it?
I have given up all the charities that I have supported for many years and made a direct debit to WoS 4 times larger than I used to. From now on my only cause is the freedom of Scotland. I cherish the Friends on here that I am determined to meet someday soon.
Peace Always
Here’s a wee tune you might want to listen to when you wake up this morning. I’m just guessing and wouldn’t normally post links to tunes on the main thread.
I think we might all need to cheer up a bit though, just doing my best to help.

I guess it’s bedtime. What a twat.

Too many haufs last night so catchin-up. Like the wee Goldcrest, sometimes at Ben Oovi wan o them comes intae the coal-shed behind ye when U open the door. Very tame & either lifting spiders or webs aff the windae. It has a wee thin song which translates as, “When is sumdy gonnae come oot n open this door!”

Hey, Smallaxe, this place was awfie quiet when you were away. You’re nothing but a big catalyst, soanyurr. Now we just need Nana back and World Order will be restored.
And look at the state of the place after last night’s shenanigans. If A Certain Lady sees the chip pokes in her plant pots there’ll be hell to pay. And who SMOKED the pot pourri in the cludgie? That was Her best lavender and sage.
K1: glad you survived the ghost story. I you really want a shock, try to get hold of the 2010 BBC (shudders) remake of “Whistle and I’ll come to you, my lad” with John Hurt and Gemma Jones. I watched it one bright spring afternoon and it still terrified me. That bit at the end…………… 😛
Lovely description of your goldcrest, Fred. They seem genuinely interested in humans, like robins. I was sheltering from the rain under a tree in a wood on the banks of the Avon a long time ago and looked up just a few feet to see a goldcrest on a low branch watching me with great interest, quite unconcerned. Even though I moved about, it didn’t fly off for ages.
Hope you got some sleep, Thepnr.
Wet and dreich here but the redpolls are still going mad for the niger seeds.
Hi, Tinto,
Thanks, for the great welcome back you and all the other WoS People have given me after so short a time away.No words*.
About the mess, Tinto, my Friend, Firstly, I do not eat chips and as for the POT-pourri, I know nothing about the Pourri!
I used to walk through a local wood frequently in all seasons and in the winter if there was snow on the ground a robin used to sit on one of my boots while I cleared away some snow with the other. (Boot not Robin) Tru DaT!
Like you and the others, I miss Nana but I’m pretty sure that someone either e-mails or even calls her, I’m sure that I’ve seen it on here at some point, in any case, she knows we’re still here and I’m sure that Nana will come back when she’s ready, Nana’s missed by many of us here but as we know, all those links don’t just fly into her computer, it’s… again. No words!
I know Nana likes this,(I hope!)

Forgot how good Nazareth and Big Bad Dan The Man were. Those 70s German TV audiences always make me laugh ‘cos they looked so well-behaved/inhibited, although he certainly seemed to have those girls’ attention for some mysterious reason.
Don’t overdo the cyber-surfing, Smallaxe, and no border patrols.
Didn’t realise our own *Paula R* was standing in the local elections in Brechin.
All the best, Paul.

Not sure if it’s wise to watch it at night.
Or at all…..
Did you hear a funny noise? Someone at the door?
@TC
Decent enough sleep, this supporting Yes with a passion is hard bloody work. I’m going no place though til it’s done. Just wait until the dates announced.
There are many like me and I’m surrounded by them on Wings, we have them on the run and there can be absolutely no doubt about that.
I never knew that having a heart could be so difficult, I seem to remember things differently.
Got to go now, I’m late for my anger management appointment 🙂
Smallaxe @ 8.51 thank you so much for the Easter Hymn from Cavalleria Rusticana, beautiful, just beautiful.

Will watch the spooky stuff later guys, thanx for the Marley Smallaxe, good to see ye takin pot-shots again! Anent the Robin Tinto, noticed yesterday a gable-end mural in the High Street, just at the Bell o the Brae, of a guy with a Robin. Quite suberb work, new to me! Some reference to the wee bird in the City arms mebbes.
Haven’t heard the expression “Bell o’ The Brae” for a while, Fred. Interesting picture here:
link to theglasgowstory.com
Yes, could be Kentigern’s robin, of course. Naughty Queen Languoreth of Clyde salmon fame seems to have an association with Cadzow, the old name of Hamilton. I remember reading an old document which used the term “Queen of Cadzow”, probably from a time before it was incorporated into the Kingdom of Strathclyde.
I noticed some negative btl comments on the modern version of “Whistle…..” It’s not a literal treatment of the short story but I found it more frightening than the old Michael Hordern one.
Don’t have nightmares.
@Nana
If you’re reading kiddo. Be well. 😉
@Paula Rose
Just caught ronnie’s post on thread. You’d be a superb representative.
Wishing you the very best of luck. 🙂
Best pal lives in Osaka, Japan. Occasionally calls when he’s had a few and we blether for hours.
Told me a good one. American buddy of his was out on the lash with his Ozzy pal, they ended up bladdered and decided to go to a ‘Soap Bar’. These are licensed premises, not exactly ‘brothels’, but they provide specialised services by which one can be ‘relieved’ of tension etc. This involves the client lying on a table while the female attendant slakes his body with thick soap suds. Then the lady takes off her gear and slithers all over the soapy body. The dude is required to stay still and cannot touch the woman in any way. So anyway that’s the general idea…
They found a Soap Bar, went in, were served with sake and nibbles, taken to separate rooms where they undressed and lay as instructed, looking forward to a good end to their night. Comparing notes afterwards, it seems the Ozzy lad was quite happy with it all and reckoned it was worth whatever they’d paid, but the American was not happy at all because his attendant was in her mid-eighties and had no teeth. He said it was like something out of a horror move but he had to just lie there and let her do her thing.
Two days later, the American was walking down the same street with his young Japanese wife. She, obviously, knew nothing of his disappointing adventure, but she soon did – the elderly mama-san who’d been siding all over him less than 48 hours earlier came out of the Soap Bar, shouting, crossed the road, and gave him back the pair of gloves he had left in her establishment.
Ooh…am no watchin’ that till daylight Tinto… but watch it I will! Thanks 😉
@Ian Brotherhood
Got go say that story was pretty gross. Never mind, I got asked once in China if I wanted to go for a foot massage. Kinda shrugged and says let’s go for it.
It was brilliant, you just rolled up your trousers to the knees, out your feet in a basin of hot water and then they worked on you lower legs and feet. They weren’t shy by the way and it could be painful.
Once it was over and you left, you were walking on air.
K1: are you sure?
Remember: don’t watch alone…..
Ian B and Thepnr: that reminded me of the joke with the pineapple ring, cream-under-pressure and the glace cherry which ends with the words, “It looked to so good I ate it myself.”
Thank God yours were true stories!
Don’t know where the “to” came from.
IanB and Thepnr:
I once woke up in a stinking hovel in Glasgow’s Gallowgate beside one of the oldest ugliest smelly women that it has ever been my misfortune to share a hangover with.
She was still asleep, so I silently got dressed and prepared to sneak out of the house, before I left, I thought that maybe it would be prudent of me to leave her some cash as she was most probably “On the Game” so I left a £5 note on the pillow beside her and crept towards the front door.
Like a Ninja, I made my way across the piles of urine stained clothes lying on the floor, just as I stepped over the last pile a toothless crone appeared from beneath the rags and said to me ” Are ye no leavin’ a couple o’ bob fir yer bridesmaid!”

@ Smallaxe, so ye’ve met ma Auntie Bessie then? 🙂
The Bell o the Brae was where Wallace defeated the English garrison who foolishly left the castle to attack him in the narrow street, the brass plate on the tenement on the east side has vanished, new monument planned I think? Horses n carts couldn’t get up the High Street to the Cathedral, too steep, so the “S” format was the solution & mebbes a thoosan years old. This was still the case in my young day when the “Trace Horses” stood near the College Bar to assist laden carts up the hill. I do remember them better in West Nile Street. Was there a charge for this service? dinnae ken!
Tinto found the High Street mural, by an Australian guy,

@Smallaxe
I’m happy to see back posting, from what I’ve read it seems you and I went awol … hoping you are better now.
First day in what seems like a year I’ve felt somewhat human. Taking me a long time to read over the threads and just getting onto off topic.
I did ask him indoors to put a message on to let you know I am slowly recovering from the mother and father of infections. Low immunity to infection is the bane of my life & I’m sure you are prone to the same.
Could you please thank Robert Kerr for his kind thoughts yesterday morning and say “Hi” to everyone from me, I will be back soon as I’m able. Struggling to stay awake a lot of the time, must be something in the water!
@Paula Rose, I wish you the best of luck for the election. Polish up your spikiest heels for the occasion.
Nana, pleased you looked in to let us know how you are getting on.I’m sorry to hear that you have been so unwell, take your time and get your strength built up again.
I hope you feel better soon, and as you can see, we all miss you.
Take care.
Cheers Nana, ye’re sorely missed gal.
Nana, Smallaxe and I have just recorded this for you. Guess which one’s which.

Get well soon.
Nana:
I’m so pleased to see you’re recovering, take it easy, I tried to carry on for a few days and finished up falling out with my doctor as he wanted to put me in hospital, like you, I have to go and lie down every so often it’s a bloody nuisance as you will know.
Take things easy for a while and come back when you’re fully fit, not before! You are very much missed here by everyone, myself especially as I miss our little chats in the morning.I’m sorry for the late reply but I was lying down again for a couple of hours, as you say, there must be something in the water or possibly something lacking like a dram or two. 🙂
All my best wishes come with this post to you.

Smallaxe @ 12.48, och, I said no that long ago, here on WOS most of us don’t know each other in our real everyday lives. But on here we are oor ain wee family, and you care when one or two of us go AWOL. Especially folk like yourself who we know have a serious illness.
I always feel among friends and we can hae wee arguments, debates and plenty of banter, ( well mibies we’ll exclude Rock, and SD ).
Keep on keeping on, and hing in there cause it’s comin yet fur a’ that, and we need you and Nana and a’ the ithers tae get the job din.
Thank you for your kind thoughts. As you say yourself, peace and love always to you and yours.
Marie, I have said before now that my Friends here on WoS are cyber chemo and I truly believe that to be the case.The desire also to leave Scotland as a place where my grandchildren can flourish and in turn bring up their own families in a fair and decent Scotland, a place to be proud of, a nation that has already given so much to this world and has lot’s more to give.
These desires feed my spirit and will keep me going for as long as is necessary hopefully.

Good morning all, wow these pills I’m taking don’t half give me strange dreams. The oddest so far, TM had called a GE, Corbyn wanted to go along with it and the snp were rubbing their hands with glee. Wowsers
Thanks to all who sent me good wishes, Marie, Ian, Macart, Tinto, Fred. I’m getting there slow but sure, now if I can just stay awake… these dreams are just getting weirder
Somewhere along the way I heard someone calling me. For some reason I pictured Tinto as a Canadian mountie, did I mention these pills are damn strong?
@Smallaxe Much love to you, hope you are taking care of yourself. Really good listening to all the tunes. XX
Morning Nana, naw it’s no the tablets, we are living in a surreal place at the moment. MT was going nuts yesterday. I’m aboot tae gie ye anither surreal moment noo Nana, so dinae worry.
TC this is for you, so get the moustaches twirling, and the eyes smouldering. Just mind take the thorn oot the rose afore ye pit it in yer mouth.

Nana:
I’m so pleased that you feel well enough to post, things are starting to get exciting as you know. I hope your dreams turn into T.May’s worst nightmare. I’m looking after myself, helped greatly by my good Lady, I hope you are doing the same as you are greatly missed. I want you back here in good fettle we need you, links or no links, just make sure you are well enough when you do come back full time, this infection, whatever it was, takes a bit of getting over especially as you say the sudden need to lie down often.
Sweet dreams until then, my dear Friend.

Loved that music, Marie. At the moment it’s no the hips that are birling, it’s the heid. Still can’t believe yesterday’s events. Can’t wait to see the FM’s statement. I bet she had one in the drawer all ready for a cut and run election.

Canvassing doesn’t start till 12.30 so I’m taking the opporchancity to thank you, chinas, for your musical offerings.
I’ll mebbes cut back on the kohl for my smoulder and I’m sure the lovely gadfly will calm me down before I have to suffer some sub-Daily Mail abuse this aft.

Mac Ewan had a hard upbringing, his Maw brought up him & his brother up, faither absent if U get my drift!
Marie, contrary to the manner in which I write, my speaking voice is East end Glaswegian and I am rarely frightened. I have been fighting, many times physically, against the Westminster establishment since the age of seventeen.
Although I took part in many different peaceful demonstrations, I have had my skull fractured, countless sutures in various places and bones broken. I have also spent many hours locked up in police cells and spent 9 months in Barlinnie Prison after being attacked by two plain clothes policemen against whom I defended myself, I was charged with police assault. Much of what I have mentioned happened before I was 21yrs old.
Peace Always I say in my posts and I mean it.Peace is my greatest wish for all people, a wish that may never come true.
I still have my wish and I know how to make it come true in one place, in an independent Scotland. Freedom and Peace are worth fighting for always.

Aye Smallaxe, being originally from Paisley, I’m not easily frightened myself. In fact my beloved will tell you that you can take the girl out of Paisley, but not Paisley out of the girl. I’d face Auld Nick himself if I had too.
Anyway I canny be that bad, it’ll be our ruby wedding next year, and I’ve lived in D&G all that time. Mostly peacefully I’m pleased to say. Anyway I’ve had a long day so I’m away tae ma pit.

Hey, Smallaxe, have you noticed the Ironing Anxiety on the MT? Every cloud…..
This looks like a job for Smallaxe’n’Tinto Solutions: I’ll do the collars, yokes and sleeves and you can press the fronts.
A few malts and some Howlin’ Wolf and we could knock them out for 80p a time, NQA.
What could possibly go wrong?
@Tinto
Well TC you can do my ironing any time, as Liz says on the MT she likes the ‘crumpled look’ and I could get to like it too, would match my crumpled face!
But could I trust you not to burn the clothes? not sure I like this idea of slacking off for wee drams, best stick to a cup of tea…

Now is not the Time, eh’ Treeza? Naw, it’s well past time that we stoaped yer clock!

Good Morning, Tinto, my Manky Mate, I have to admit unashamedly that I have always done my own ironing, although Mrs Smallaxe seems quite suspicious of my inability to master the washing machine cycles, I can’t even find the peddles.
Smallaxe’n’Tinto Solutions: Give us your vest and we’ll do our best, bring us your shirt if it’s covered in dirt and we’ll make your suit very quickly suite tout.

Hang on a cotton picking minute, when was the board meeting? Why was I not informed? So I’m voted as leader of the pack now, well I hope you realise I can be a hard taskmaster.
Just ask him indoors if you don’t believe me.
Nana, Tinto and I had the cotton pickin’ booze ah mean Blues when one of us put a pair of blue jeans in with the whites, we still don’t know who made the mistake but I normally get blamed for things that I am totally innocent of.

@Smallaxe 12.04
Excellent tune dat.
Don’t go telling him indoors but he had a favourite shirt which ‘sonehow’ ended up in the wash along with a red top of mine. Wasn’t my fault guv no sir no way! The shirt came out a lovely shade of pink. Ended up a lovely blouse don’t ya know.
@Tinto for goodness sake will you put that poor goat out to grass. By the way good luck with the canvassing. You said “If you don’t hear from me again, it’s been a blast, chinas!”
Surely you meant it’s been a ‘bleat’ haha
Sorry, Nana and Smallaxe, was out the back goat-nadgering and it took me a while to get my hands clean.
Thanks for the positive feedback and sublime tracks.
Tell Dorothy Devine, Nana, that yon Gerard Butler she keeps banging on about is a pure heartbreaker, btw. In Smallaxe and I you can trust: just drone over your ironing with 80% non-returnable deposit and we’ll see you right by our 24/7 return service.
“We fly by night but ain’t fly-by-nights.”
As part of our revised business plan, I’m proposing a name change to the snappier #Manky Pressing.
Seems obvious, really, but we can discuss it at the next board meeting. Fred may wish to be co-opted if he’s back fae Ben Oovi. They say his trouser seams are razor-sharp.
Anyhow, must go and canvass the opinion of the Great Scottish Electorate.
If you don’t hear from me again, it’s been a blast, chinas!
#Manky Pressing: Seconded. We now await the return of Fred from his ministries in Ben Oovi to obtain his agreement on these matters of importance to the people of Scotland and their washing!
Tinto, I can picture in my mind the sartorial elegance of your good self as you venture into darkest Yoonland spreading the undeniable words of truth to the yearning masses.You carry with you, our hearts, wishes, pride and I’m sure the petty cash box from our last enterprise in the laundry business!

Sing a song of sixpence a bottle full of rye,
Four and twenty garments washing all awry
When the door was opened the shirt it looked quite pink
Oh isn’t that a pretty shade him indoors won’t think?
The king was in his counting house counting out his money,
Queen Nana was in the parlour thinking, he won’t find this funny
Tinto was in the garden hanging out the clothes,
When down came him indoors and it nearly came to blows!

Canvassing very positive with one touching moment when an old lady’s voice broke a bit when she said she wasn’t voting for herself but for her grandchildren. Had to turn away stare at a tree at that point.
The Red Tories here are having to pay someone to distribute their lie sheets. Says it all.
Out on the randan tonight meeting two former colleagues in Glasgow for an ethanol-based symposium but my randan’s got a puncture and I need some Three-in-One for the chain.
Last time I did this I woke up at Bridgeton Cross at 2 a.m. hugging a kebab. Wish me luck.
I trust you will all behave while I’m away. Am going to try out my new Eau de Shieldhall after-shave tonight so it promises to be an unforgettable night.
Au revoir, chinas.

Personally if my beloved goes and gets fu, which admitedley is no very often, it never bothers me, efter a’ it’s no my hangover.I must say, I fair hate thone wee man wi the clogs oan dancing inside yer heid.
I stopped drinking as such about 1994 and now only take the very occasional cognac or Guinness for some celebrations.
Why let a thief into your mouth to steal your wits?

Very touchin Tinto, all the best with the ethanol symposium,(like it kid!) last time I had a drink was on Saturday. It was Laphroaig & the pub ran oot!
Thanks for Scheme Smallaxe, happy memories! The best laid schemes in fact. Is Ruth Davidson no jist a horrible, horrible excuse fur a wummin?
@Smallaxe 1:41pm
Thanks for making the old blone laugh, I had to give her my inhaler to stop her spluttering over my apron, and her with a steam iron !
Now, the ironing is not the issue it’s the washing. I don’t buy white shirts as they end up either pink or tie died.
It’s weird how my pens in my pockets get into the wash but the money vanishes, must be yon vanish stuff she uses.

@Smallaxe 8.55pm
Decided to have an early night Billy, could hardly keep my eyes open through dinner. Himself gave me a row for ‘pressing’ on with chores and of course he had read the thread so the mention of ‘the pink shirt’ brought back some unhappy memories. Good mood right oot the windae.
Best not tell him I binned the well worn holey Van the man t shirt! lol
@Tinto
Hope you had a good evening out on the randan. Here’s a nice and easy start to the day.

@ Smallaxe, Mrs Gilfeathers kin fairly down a hauf!
Please try to take it slowly Nana, I’ve had anti-Bios. and steroids and still not fully over it. Tell him indoors to keep his shirt on 🙂 and not to sweat the small things, we have bigger fish to fry.
