I was in St Andrew’s house at School and it’s my sister’s 79th birthday so an excuse for a bevie tonight.

Mary can you translate your 9.50 comment please? I think it ends with ‘Cheers’ ?

Kate:
"Here's to us; who is as good as us? Damn few, and they're all dead" – a classic, traditional Scottish toast showing drunken sentimentality.

Not that I'm drunk. If only! grin

Happy St Andrew’s day everyone, although I’m more Irish than Scottish I’ve lived here for a very long time.
Can’t get enough of the pipes and drums.
