I was born into a cities language , as I prosseded throuh school I came to notice that the tongue i spoke in was at best a kind of hinduwegian ,merrily running frae the huns . " Get a gildae on Opkar it's those ... nae bother Luke ... To this day every mucker and corner shop owner says to me , " How er ye going son , still away , ya lucky basturt , say hello to yer ma . An put bach that highland toffee"

Ooops , I thought this was the out of your box forum .

Language may be a tool for you, Onionluke, but it doesn't seem to have opened anything! If we knew what you were on about, we might have something to say.

I think I saw a bit of the eclipse last night, by the way, boys. I was on my way home from my worst, and far from closest, shave with an open razor that I have ever had the fortitude to bear, combined with an incessant joking about farangs (and, I assume, how hard it was to shave them with a blunt razor). The joking I could bear easily enough, but the blunt razor was a trial. The eclipse (partial as it was) looked like a dense cloud in front of the moon, which perhaps it was...

Anyway, for all of you who wre born in the Winter solace, cheer up - things can only get better! Brighter, anyway....

Sparkling solace?

I can imagine a bit of sparkling after breaking out the still, but the excisorcist may have something to say about that.

Anyway, let's drink to the still of a silent night, or from the still of a silent night, as appropriate

Though I've never been one for spirits; I'm not a believer...

Solace in a bottle...

The purpose of the holiday is to forget revenge, resentment or whatever slight.

I've gone off the burgundy, since I stopped following football...

I thought "surace" was meant to be "surface".

An interesting alternative interpretation...
