Blimey ! They still lock up the kids swings over there on a sunday ! Id honestly thought the days of forcing children to live as the adults do had worn off long ago. Poor kids I pitty them not being allowed to have a mind to themselves, such behaviour is dire in these times.

The Monthly Record...that'll be a diary of those special days every month when the Severe Gaels lock up their wives and keep them away from company...or, if they are allowed out, they must carry a wee bell and intone "Unclean, unclean," in order to warn the general populace to keep their distance for fear of contamination. Am I getting warm?

The Monthly Record will never be quite the same again FC

It would be fun to hear from Calum.'s silent interlocutors... # Personally, I am just a poor Papist: I don't have a dog in this fight...

But, on the plus side mjc, it must be ever so nice to have so much in common with our hodden-grey-caped crusader here in Orkney...

Orkney, FC? Oh, I see. I must admit to having a bias in favor of Jesuits myself, looking down my wide nose at the competition, particularly those who have taken to wearing socks with their sandals (unlike, praise be, the Franciscans: tough hombres, those are).

And they're particularly fond of our avian friends, which makes them a firm favourite with me. Surely St Francis was the one who said "A bird in the hand is worth two thousand in the battery shed"?

Colonel Sanders claims that no further proof is needed: St. Francis clearly read Economics at the LSE.

Due to reading a small piece in a recent Herald, we here at Anorak Towers now know what the Monthly Record really is...

Not to forget - these severe Gaels (hopefully an endangered species) can also be frequenting their favourite homeland, Ness.... (where they still lock up the play park on the Sabbath!). Oh yes, and the female of the species wears hats and gloves to church (twice on Sundays!) and won't be seen dancing at a ceilidh unless it's off island!

What a bunch of humourists you all are............NOT! Ignorance is bliss :-)

You're not suggesting that Severe Gaels are prone to double standards are you Heb Liff? I am pure shocked. I hope the comment about Ness does not mean you are impugning the witty and erudite progenitor of this blog?
Flying Cat from hatted, gloved and scarfed
Moi, impugne said progenitor? Never! Everyone knows that the severest Gaels (and gales!) are up at the Butt of Lewis and therefore if you hide behind a bothan, you may be able to spot them... (if you're not actually inside the bothan imbibing on the Sabbath, that is!)
Heb Life from get a liff, will ya?
