blog and forum hosed!
I’m afraid my blog and the Forum were kaput for a few days, due to no fault of mine or the Webmistress’. Our server hosting company took a few days to respond to us but have since been very helpful and apologetic. But now we’re back. C’est la vie!
On a positive note, over the weekend I had fun at a local Burns Supper where I was invited to give a speech called the Toast Tae The Lassies, while Kathleen gave The Lassies’ Reply. The assembled company drank malt whisky and ate copious amounts of haggis, and I told dirty jokes and finished up playing and singing a few verses of a ~230 year old Robbie Burns song, ‘Green Grow The Rashes’, just my un-amplified voice and an acoustic guitar. It was terrifying, but very good for me. I didn’t spot any cameraphones and I’m praying it doesn’t show up on YouTube or you will all blackmail me for years to come.
Thank goodness you’re back, there was me thinking you’d been credit crunched! Or is that just what we’re supposed to think according to the papers?
Ha! I sincerely hope your rashes don’t ‘gan green’ !!
I think (hope) it’s rushes we’re talking aboot!
“500 internal server error”, plus “404 not found”= one big
But all is well now!
mess!
Hey, here’s a good Scottish joke for ya, stop me if you’ve heard
this one before, or heck, even told it at the Burns Supper:
Q: How many budgies can a Scotsman fit underneath his kilt?
A: It depends on the size of the perrrrrrrch!
No, I havenae yet been brave enough to try haggis. Yeah,
some Scot I am! Only one-quarter, though; the rest of me
is English, Hungarian and Czech! Yup, I’m a mongrel.
So, Thomas, were you the one strumming the guitar? Good
Right on! You know what they say: what
for you, indeed!
doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Case in point: haggis.
Peace and shortbread,
Kara, not as Scottish as I thought I was…
That was you? I thought you looked familiar.
Just kidding, but one of the few times I remember my father ever being drunk when I was a kid ( it was for medicinal purposes: he had fallen skiing and hurt himself) he told me all of his MacTavish jokes. Have never tried Haggis.
