BTW, Is the house in Ridgetown the one you invited me to come and recuperate in, which was very kind of you ?

Honest to goodness does the man never gie up, he invited me too, do you think he has two toothbrushes under his pillow

Tam comes across as very kind and generous,although a tad befuddled at times, wanting to offer similar hospitality that he received here in Scotland. I do intend to visit relatives in Canada hopefully 2011 and may well arrange a catch up with him then. It has never occurred to me that folk kept toothbrushes for guests under their pillows before, Maggs so mibbe you already knew about lack of bathroom facilities, mmmm?

Ladies: At this time there is no toilet, bathtub or shower. However, a word to the son in regards to the ladies invited and he immediately says, "these ladies are pure class and am gonnae get started on new fixtures for the bathroom".......one of thais tubs we the pulsating water, when wanted.....imagine loungin in a hot bath and being served treats by an auld blind man...warm rhubarb garnishing a dish of French Vanilla, Lemon Meringue Pie and if the guest is planning a winter stay....hot potato fritters.....speciality of the hoose.

I can see the new Radox label now, tam. 'French Vanilla and Fritters'. You sure know how to entice those dames.

I think the treats would be better after bathtime.

Probably not mad, certainly not bad but possibly dangerous to know.

Gie's a clue as to what you are alluding to otherwise this is a a completely random remark that can be hurtful & detrimental to a person.

Mibbe a humorous riposte that I didn't get ?

Hingmie: and why wid i no, oan occasion be befuddled....jist read a post whaur your magnificent self MIGHT be arriving in Canada in the near, but no near enough, future. Having met you and been totally smitten, i claim the right to be befuddled.

New toothbrush would only be a wee start. You would be treated like royalty. A visit to the nation,s capitol is a distinct possibility and perhaps a few days rest at a beautiful cottage on the banks of Mississippi Lake....a jaunt tae La Belle Province is worth the trip.

I'm pretty sure tam will take it as a compliment, hingmie.

"Dangerous to know' - now does that not have an air of darkness and mystique about it? No that tam is trying to cultivate any mysteries.

Tam, if I applied half of HH's suggestions..... well

Shut yir face, ya banger.

Less painful than listening to you and yer twaddle, sir. All he asked for was a bit of techi advice, not a running commentary on yer failings to communicate wi the other sex, despite your age and opportunities to learn from experience.

Mibbe a humorous riposte that I didn't get ?

Ya put your finger on it there.

After tales of recent alarums and excursions, Mr T has become quite the Byronic sort of blighter, in my head at least. Would swim the Hellespont to serve a lady potato fritters I imagine.

[tam 0]

Mr. H.

The Hellspont ? a mere puddle, a wee morning dip if the swim could result in the sharing of fritters with your lovely lady.

tam

and which Mr. H am i addressing ?
