GN, ALL

Only a Dub would waltz in on Paddy's day after so long, as casually as if he'd only been to the corner for the late results then go away to his bed to read them.

Goodnight, BTF. Sleep well.

Sweet dreams. But don't watch the match tomorrow/today - it may upset you.

PS, where is VEL, Hi mate wherever you are, a fond greeting to you. I was about to quote Rab but I resisted the urge, MAYBE NOT

Etc, My best friend in his boat/yacht sailed many seas single handed in Meg of T'O'S FAME

Weel mounted on his gray mare, Meg--
A better never lifted leg--
Tam skelpit on thro' dub and mire;
Despisin' wind and rain and fire.
Whiles holding fast his gude blue bonnet;
Whiles crooning o'er some auld Scots sonnet;
Whiles glowring round wi' prudent cares,
Lest bogles catch him unawares:
Kirk-Alloway was drawing nigh,
Whare ghaists and houlets nightly cry.

By this time he was cross the ford,
Whare, in the snaw, the chapman smoor'd;
And past the birks and meikle stane,
Whare drunken Chairlie brak 's neck-bane;
And thro' the whins, and by the cairn,
Whare hunters fand the murder'd bairn;
And near the thorn, aboon the well,
Whare Mungo's mither hang'd hersel'.--
Before him Doon pours all his floods;
The doubling storm roars thro' the woods;
The lightnings flash from pole to pole;
Near and more near the thunders roll:
When, glimmering thro' the groaning trees,
Kirk-Alloway seem'd in a bleeze;
Thro' ilka bore the beams were glancing;
And loud resounded mirth and dancing.

GN all.

Gallivanter, lol, made my night, I'm off to box the fox, well, that's what I call it these days. GN-GL
