Ah amateurs! Matchmaking is a much darker art than that.

With a little lavender added the sheets of newsprint can make excellent drawer liners.

But does the newsprint not transfer onto the wearer's skin? Our Tone disappearing up the Crack of Doom.......it's a lovely warming thought on a dull day.......

You Lewis bloggers kept that quiet. Where were you tws??

Aren't they the trio that was remarked on at the Fank because of their unusual ebullience? (or is it effervescence?). Now I understand why Channel 4 would pull the tattered rug from under them.

i'm so pleased for you all that the programe is to be scrapped!over here they did a similar series last spring-it was a complete shambles-mid you , i only watched three episodes,but believe me that was enough!

Think you're confused FC. The Scotsman doesn't have wings.
Annie B from the usual
There's no flies on you, Annie B.....
Flying Cat from an admiring glance
You're right FC, Chrissie Mary's a great one for the fly papers.
Annie B from the usual
With a little camphor and a flour and water paste added, sheets of newsprint can make excellent fly papers. The paste is best made with Lofty Peak, 'Flour of Scotland'

Funny you should mention this, I was asked if I'd appear on a similar programme last year but told them to take a hike and forgot all about it till a couple of nights ago. Was watching tv and on comes a programme trying to match single girls in Gairloch with a bunch of single blokes from a village in Devon. It was the same format they tried to offer Arran! You should've seen the quality of the men. Arran definitely made the right decision. The whole thing really made me cringe. I do hope Calumannabel and Donald are refusing TV rights to this years fank, I don't want my look of desperation broadcast accross the nation! My Aunty Ina's neighbours have the television you know!
Sunny from Arran
Can the words 'quality' 'men' and 'calumannabel&donald' be safely uttered in the same comment?

We've been approached about a programme sending six single women from Beirut for six bachelors in Barvas. The men are objecting as in their black burkas, these women cannot be rounded up on the croft at the end of the day to come home to do the cooking. Another fine TV idea dashed!

Sunny. Rest asssured your looks of desperation will only be recorded on Donald's Box Brownie. No other cameras will be allowed. Wher've you been girl? Counting money fromthe January sales I expect?
calumannabel from Daler Rowney and Philbert Solicitors Ness
Good to hear from you again, Sunny. I hope you were not under the weather, but just recovering from the end of the year festivities.

Hi Guys! How is everyone? Life's great, been busy and still arguing with the insurance company about a laptop. It's not the same blogging if I can't upload embarrasing photos! Also only have net access in my own time now which is precious, it was a completely different ball game when I was blethering at work! Hope to be back blogging soon. XXX
Sunny from Arran
Oh Sunny. You always bring such a touch of class to the blogging. How typical that you'd been approached by media folks and have relatives with access to a TV! You're that cosmopolitan. I thought a box brownie was a sort of tray-bake cakey biscuit?
Annie B from the usual
Remember those burka boilers with ringer over? They were the thing for removing heavy soil from the boilersuits!

I got my box of groceries from emporioalnjohn yesterday and it was lined with a copy of the Scottish Daily Herald!
calumaxthatwithextrafries from On me bike on the A857
Out of curiosity, I checked to see whether a rag called the Scottish Daily Herald existed. Took a peek at the Herald, and noticed that the Government (the Scottish Executive ?) is thinking of paying island women to stay rather than to migrate to the bright lights (referring here to genuine lights, not to any supposed intellectual attributes of mainland men) of Glasgow or Edinburgh (don't know whether Perth has any bright lights: does it, Carol?). Does not seem fair somewhat. Perhaps subsidies should go to those lonely, hardy, etc. men who hang in there, in spite of the dearth of the female sex. In any case, now I appreciate the reason for the hopeful mien of the males attending the Fank. Maybe the entry fee should be raised!! As should the price of Calum's aphrosidiacal Cormorant (and the servings should be less generous than hitherto).

You checked? Do I detect a slight lack of confidence in the veracity of ib posts? (I think I've solved the female depopulation problem.... )
Flying Cat from lying down in a darkened sunroom
Whaddya mean: you have "solved" it? you understand the reasons? you have found the solution (how to stem the outgoing tide)? Blurt it out, FC!!
