Entertainment for the Festival

Funny you should mention toppling dominoes. The other day they tried that over in Leeuwarden (Holland), and it was spoiled by a sparrow flying in and toppling the dominoes prematurely. The poor wee bird got shot for its efforts. But whether keeping the birds out is such a good idea, I don't know. Might spoil the entire festival.

We have Viking Games at Corrie Capers every year. The Maiden Carrying competition has always been popular, well until this year... I was the maiden this time... the hospital reported a sudden upturn in hernias and I had fingerprint shaped bruises on my thighs for a week, not a good look for an unmarried woman! Nor are the photos of my big white scottish arse in shorts thrown over Jamies shoulder... Please don't play maiden carrying?

For details of the bizzare Viking Happening that is Corrie Capers see the August Archive on any of my blogs.

Arnish is on the ball here. We could follow the Dutch example and shoot any passing wildfowl. We could use the carcases to supplement the guga supplies. I doubt that anyone would notice the difference between Seagull Twizzlers and Guga Twizzlers after a couple of gallons of Granny’s treacle beer. On the other hand, if we’re not stopping the birds we could put up a sign saying ‘Gulls Allowed’ and fool people into thinking we’d got a girl band from the mainland for the gig. The squawking would probably be pretty close to the original anyway. Who’s this Jamie, Sunny? Can he row? he sounds a bit like Colin Firth.

I think Gulls Aloud are a great band and they're on my CD on the tractor. As Colin's older brother I'm coming north to chaperone the boy. Mum's orders.I understand from looking at the OS map there's a loch pretty handy to the south of the fank that my brother could emerge from soaking wet in his ghillie's shirt. It's what he does best. The local press will only get one shot at this photo opportunity as it's bloody cold in the loch at that time of year so tell the fellow from the Gazette to be sharp and keep off the treacle beer beforehand. Tell him its photos only as we're on the verge of signing exclusive interview rights with a joint bid having reached us from Fios and The Banner. Our people are taling to their people. Colin is looking forward to meeting the Arran lassies and Trevor from up north.

I am pleased to confirm that two of my biggest tribute bands are booked as support to the Three Macs for the first day of the Matchmaking Festival. They are 1 Gulls Aloud with Cheryl 'Harris' Tweedie and 2 Fronted by Mick Jagger lookalike, Alan Smith from Fivepenny, the fabulous 'Callanish Stones'. If that doesn't float your boat then I'm off to join the New Wine Church.

Blimey!!! I'm off to the Habost Health Centre for stronger blood pressure pills.

What an unbelievable weekend! I was chatting to the Showbiz correspondent of Fios who tells me that Calum and Donald have another surprise up their jersey sleeves. Seemingly Meatloaf is lined to to do the fashion commentary at the fank and is rereleasing his classic "Hat out of Dell" for the event. You were keeping that quiet boys.

Jaimie and all his brothers are all fine rowers and could be considered to resemble Colin Firth if he shrank about a foot. I don't know if he's single but I do know his brother Peter is single and we will need a chaperone so may well persuade Peter to come with us.

Men with small feet sound ideal. We could share wellies. Pete sounds grand. I've heard that there are stacks of men round here called Pete but rarely met one.
