Goose Sat 25-Jan-14 21:31:06

YOOHOO! Alie - how did you find the traffic coming through Oxford? (don't try to hide - I saw you dodging behind that column thingy)

AlieOxon Sat 25-Jan-14 21:26:28

Thatsh a Klingon fing, definitley.

Galen Sat 25-Jan-14 21:25:01

Oi fink it should be a Klingon fling!
Someone grab a couple of those claymores off the wall and we'll be 'aving a sword dance! Come on folks!

AlieOxon Sat 25-Jan-14 21:20:27

Fling, dammit. My typing gets more ad more dyslexic.

AlieOxon Sat 25-Jan-14 21:19:52

When I have finished this bottle, can I dance a Highland Kling?

Goose Sat 25-Jan-14 21:18:47

…mine's a pint of Glen Morangie please...

Galen Sat 25-Jan-14 21:17:55

I'm not sure, but it's a strange way to walk a corgi?

Goose Sat 25-Jan-14 21:15:31

Galen I have tied the tea towel into a rather fetching turban, a la 50's style. I am also sporting my wrap around pinafore with the highland cattle picture on the front. All finished off with my red Doc McMartin boots -grin Is that a corgi or a sporran Rod's got there? hmm

Galen Sat 25-Jan-14 21:12:42

Corgis are welsh. Smell nothing like haggis scots you know.

merlotgran Sat 25-Jan-14 21:10:25

Someone needs to let the corgis out. I thought it was the haggis I could smell. hmm

Galen Sat 25-Jan-14 21:01:37

Nothing but the top for us!
Rod what are you doing with that corgi?
Down boy, no! Not you dog!

AlieOxon Sat 25-Jan-14 20:58:46

Hey, that was NOT a soft landing. Ouch. I have a bruised um. No, bum.
I need some anaesthetic - Laphroig for preference!
OOH, thanks Galen.
..............Are we in that top room?

merlotgran Sat 25-Jan-14 20:58:45

My pc is playing up something rotten tonight.

I'm just shoving a bottle of malt up my kilt in case I disappear!!

Galen Sat 25-Jan-14 20:57:14

Whisky jellies to the right vodka to the left (of course) wel'll keep the red flag flying high?

Galen Sat 25-Jan-14 20:55:45

Goose I hope that's not all you're wearing?
Whisky here folks, choice of laphroig or glen morangie here!

Goose Sat 25-Jan-14 20:53:09

Last minute change of plans means I can fly up to celebrate tonight. Bit of a rush and couldn't find a kilt but have dug up an old tartan tea towel that at I got last time I was in Glasgow, it's got a rather fetching picture of a piece of thistle and scotty dog on it, hope it'll pass muster? hmm

merlotgran Sat 25-Jan-14 20:50:21

Phew! That was a rough ride.

"Good Evening, Your Maj *Galen. I love your tiara (curtseys)

May I partake of a blooming great G&T small sherry?

Roderick Sat 25-Jan-14 20:50:20

When do we start drinking the whisky?

Galen Sat 25-Jan-14 20:49:27

Slainte!

Galen Sat 25-Jan-14 20:49:15

Quite! And it is laphroig I'm imbibing!

rosesarered Sat 25-Jan-14 20:47:07

Of course it could be a Scots thing 'ar ye no macking ma dinner woman?'

Roderick Sat 25-Jan-14 20:46:34

Very good Galen

rosesarered Sat 25-Jan-14 20:45:44

Galen think you have been hitting the bottle already?Macking?

Galen Sat 25-Jan-14 20:44:32

Rod I presume you're a Dunlop then?
They've been macking tyres for years!
