I'm very glad to hear that your family's assets were spared a scorching ... <is grateful for the sporran>

Day three, lunch at my favorite Celtic pub in town, a taste of the ol' sod ... fortunately tasted much better than sod.

The travels continue.

First Llew (he confessed his name over a pint or two), treated us to a musical interlude from his native Wales.

That would be your 3rd kidney this month ...

Its an honor to just be nominated for the socks ... <sigh>

Just two more days until I win a wonderful new kilt from Bonnie. Now what tartan shall I choose ...????
