Well I cannae believe it, 2 weeks to go to the meeting an am
doing’ the Newsletter, in a calm relaxed manner. I could get
used to this........ Betcha a don’t though!! Ha ha!
Well ma humblest apologies yet again fur ma no show at last
month’s meeting. I had done the quiz and left it in a secure
bank vault in Galashiels giving one key to Tony and wan tae
Gloria!! I’m sure I went wrong somewhere, I do believe somebody
entered the vault and memorised the answers to the quiz. The
extremes people will go to, too have that trophy on there
mantelpiece fur 6 months (eh Tony!)

A
TALE FUR T-TIME
Ten thousand trippers
Took twenty three
Trains to take them
to Trincomally
They travelled towards
The thickest tree,
They talked, they tittered,
Then took their tea.
The tunes they trilled
Together then
The tales the told
Till ten to ten.
Till tardy time
Told them the tale,
To turn themselves
To the townward trail.

Just a wee ditty
frae Gary.
The following
events are a true account of what happened
honest.
Last Sunday I was
going shopping up the High Street in Selkirk I found a space outside
Camerons and parked the car, seeing as it was Sunday I left it
unlocked and went to the Coop.
Shopping done I
returned to ‘Toodles’ that’s his name ma carz name!!
Keep up with me here. Anyway
I returned to ma car bags in hand, now coz a left ma car unlocked a
just opened the boot and to ma astonishment it was empty!!
|
|
Any way confused I put the
shopping in the boot and closed the boot door and was walking to
driver’s side when I noticed it wisnae ma car!! Toodles was in
front!! Someone with the same model of car, same colour, had parked
right behind me.
So I opened their boot took ma shopping out and went to Toodles an
as a passed the passenger door there was someone sitting in the
front passenger seat!! Embarrassed and mortified! Hysterically
laughing I got ma messages in ma ain car and made a sharp exit.
THAT’S WHIT A GET FUR BEIN’ LAZY! A’ SHOULD HAE WALKED!!!
