Recently that nice young man, Mr Curmudgeon, asked if alcohol was served during family gatherings.
To give you an idea of what our family gatherings are like, see this video of Uncle Iain's Funeral/Catriona's Wedding. We only had to pay for one lot of catering. We're Scots, we don't waste money.

What a great stoush. I was hoping to see someone hit over the head with a double bass though.
ReplyDeleteMy stepson came hone with a big gash to his head last night. Was that a double bass?
ReplyDelete"Was that a double bass?"
ReplyDeleteIf there were two gashes it would have been a double bash.
Second. Buy and read the latest Listener.
ReplyDeleteHaving watched a lot of Jersey shore and having read a lot of Janet Evanovich I would have thought this was a Italian/American wedding not a scottish one

Hello Fflur dear, I'd hoped you would call, TSB has told me all about you.
As regards the video, well done, it is actually a Scottish/Bulgarian funeral/wedding/funeral. Uncle Radovitch didn't make it.
How are you?
Are you finding any suitable candidates for a new life-partner. My nephew (TSB) tells me that he gave you quite a choice at Here , but that Mr High Flyer wasn't quite to your taste. Maybe you should set your sights lower dear, there are quite a few tasty young men at Nuova Lazio High that might be available. I hear that 13MT have some quite adventuresome youths which might suit.
I hope you are having a pleasant holiday, yet looking forward to getting back to the delights of teaching.
Let me know if there's anything else I can help you with.
Aunty Twisted.
I worry about your "advice" Aunty Twisted - are you trying to get me fired by making me look to students as a viable life partner? Or do you just hate me?
ReplyDeleteDear Fflur,
ReplyDeleteOf course I don't hate you dear, how could you say that?
I feel quite hurt.
Be careful, if I hurt, I spread the pain, preferably with 7.62mm messengers.
But let's not be upset, I'm just trying to help.
What's wrong with students?
Admittedly many need a good scrub with a wire brush and Dettol to freshen them up, but some can be quite palatable.
If students aren't quite your cup of tea (I quite understand, once you reach a certain age, youth isn't so wonderful) then I can recommend some friends of mine from Special Operations. They're rather large and muscular gentlemen who normally don't take no for an answer, and have exceptional surveillance and intrusion skills. Don't worry your pretty little head about it; I've given them your name and picture, and you won't even notice they're there.
Have fun, got to dash.
Aunty Twisted
This is just too funny, "...many need a good scrub with a wire brush and Dettol to freshen them up".
ReplyDeleteThanks for the belly laugh.
Tracy.
Sorry Tracy, I can't take responsibilty for this one, It's all Auntie's fault.
DeleteCheck this out, you initiated it, so it's your fault.
