Failing to mind my own business
Posted: Tuesday, 28 November 2006 |
As I often do I was minding someone elses business when Windfarms were mentioned.
Now what a good idea that would be said Dougie to Alex, and Alex who was looking for another round, agreed with Dougie.
A windfarm - man man.
Well, they worked out where they would put them. They were very careful to make sure they were not in line with Dougies washing line - Mrs Dougie has a fearful temper.
They decided that 4 would make a nice pattern on the hillside.
Wee Seamus thought 5 looked better and drew it out with his joiners pencil on a beer mat.
By now the place was full of Green specialists and Murdo who knew a thing or three about these electrics said 8 was the number and let that be an end to it.
Nobody would disagree with Murdo, well, not sober anyways.
Angus had been awfy quiet in the corner and eventually asked the now expert team assembled if they would be needing a dog for this job. The assembled expertise asked the inevitable question of Angus.
He replied - doesnt every farm have a dog and he had a new litter due any day now.
The beermat with the final plan on it was whisshed across the room and struck old Angus on the cap, we heard no more from him.
So look out for the ensueing 4 or 5 or even 8 turbines appearing almost any day now.
I'm not holding my breath - you understand.

SEE YA LA'TER or CATCH YA LA'TA

As of todays date both these phrases are to be banned by decree.
Most people who say the first are highly unlikely to see me ever again, yet alone later.
The second phrase just simply baffles me - I'm not continually falling about and therefore dont need catching.
I dont run away at the slightest thing and therefore dont need to be caught.
This is a new, trivial, stupid, unecessary and I greatly suspect, imported American Phrase, which should and will be banned.
Certainly in my presence.
This campaign needs your support - no madam - not the elasticated type.
