OS FRIDAY 28th Sept 2007

Miss_Cinnabon

Ok this is for u aussie, since u think u know scots, decipher this then:p

Wee Angus on his wae frae work
would hit tha pub fa a perk
O' Tennents lager frae tha keg
whiles chatting up tha barmaid Meg
A pint or twa there wae friens
a' bleathering awa like scholars an Deans
Debators O Parlimentary views
Ministers preaching o'er tha pews
Wae drink in hand they'd laugh their fill
tha glory Mead upon their bill
Yelping like some bairney pups
catching breeths atween their sups.

(nae wiser a man than yin filled wae ale
Nae greater a time than while drinking frae tha Grail.)

In football games they A' would linger
or singing songs for all's a singer
Nae matter how bad tha voice
a' would request their favorite choice
Happy all wae drink in hand
while holding up the bar they stand
In rattled curses tae tha bumping airms
while viewing o'er some lassies chairms
Whispering oot all dreams an desires
that drink within them all inspires
An' Angus kens that soon or late
he tae hame must tak tha gate.

Kenning tae deep doun inside
his drunken breath he'd better hide
Saying fareweel tae friens and foes
leaing ahind tha pub's warm burning coals
Doun he stummels tae tha chippy
tha air ootside tis crisp an nippy
Making him drunker than afore
he side steps frae door tae door
Eating his fish supper, enjoying each bite
thinking aboot all that's happened tha night.
Till there he rouns tha corner street
His hame sae warmly it does greet,
Falling o'er tha step ootside his hame
Tha door it opens, Behold his sullen Dame
Trying tae act sober wae all his might
afore his wifie here tha night
But she nae fool nor blind tae see
his daft antics, his blabbering plea.

In comes Angus wae words O' love
tae face tha thumping slap an shove
Her roaring voice would put fear intae tha Deil
Hear wee Angus weep an squeal.

What type O' life drink it brings
that great at first yet later stings
What worth has man tae waste his life
wae drinks illusions an its strife.
Sooner or later as true as Hell
Yin cannie live save by its spell
getting worse an worse day by day
while friens an family turn away
An Angus wheither he kens or no
has drifted where tha drunkards go
An time shall tell what fate bestows
for tha Curse O Ale, nae man knows.

:rotfl: give it your best shot:p

Penny-Pincher!!

Morning Guys!

Feel a little more with it this morning. Nurse has left but I have an appointment at 10am at the hospital:rolleyes: ....apart from that, I should be at home resting up.

Managed to sell another £25 of books on Amazon last night, so they have to be posted off and have several watchers on some ebay stuff I have listed. Am really pleased with all the sales this month as it has cleared loads of books out the way which will never be used again as they are mainly study aids. It may be worth listing any old uni books you may have laying around on Amazon as some of them can be quite rare and difficult to source, so you may be able to make money from your cluttered books

WM has been on and OH has hung it out, DW empty and toilet clean:D House all clean and tidy.

Looking forward to the wedding tomorrow and am feeling very sorry for my little sister as she will be there alone with her 2 kids. We are all sitting at the same table so I am sure Grandpa and OH will keep them all amused up and dancing etc. I am not going to let her drink too much as she will only embarrass herself and she has the kids to take care of.

Anyway, Id better be getting dressed and ready to go or I'll have OH nagging me:p

Hugs to all.

Wee Angus on his wae frae work Angus drops into the pub
would hit tha pub fa a perk for a drink (gee this is hard :rolleyes:)
O' Tennents lager frae tha keg lager from the keg
whiles chatting up tha barmaid Meg chatting up the barmaid Meg
A pint or twa there wae friens drinks with his friends (no doubt not paying)
a' bleathering awa like scholars an Deans chatting to boring old fags
Debators O Parlimentary views
Ministers preaching o'er tha pews
Wae drink in hand they'd laugh their fill they're getting p*ssed
tha glory Mead upon their bill the tabs getting higher
Yelping like some bairney pups
catching breeths atween their sups.

(nae wiser a man than yin filled wae ale
Nae greater a time than while drinking frae tha Grail.)

In football games they A' would linger The usual drunken bit
or singing songs for all's a singer
Nae matter how bad tha voice
a' would request their favorite choice
Happy all wae drink in hand

while viewing o'er some lassies chairms

Doun he stummels tae tha chippy

Making him drunker than afore
he side steps frae door tae door
Eating his fish supper, enjoying each bite Stops off at the chippy
thinking aboot all that's happened tha night.
Till there he rouns tha corner street
His hame sae warmly it does greet,
Falling o'er tha step ootside his hame
Tha door it opens, Behold his sullen Dame He's gonna cop it big time
Trying tae act sober wae all his might
afore his wifie here tha night
But she nae fool nor blind tae see
his daft antics, his blabbering plea.

In comes Angus wae words O' love
tae face tha thumping slap an shove
Her roaring voice would put fear intae tha Deil
Hear wee Angus weep an squeal. He's copped it.

What type O' life drink it brings
that great at first yet later stings
What worth has man tae waste his life
wae drinks illusions an its strife.
Sooner or later as true as Hell
Yin cannie live save by its spell
getting worse an worse day by day
while friens an family turn away
An Angus wheither he kens or no
has drifted where tha drunkards go
An time shall tell what fate bestows
for tha Curse O Ale, nae man knows. The last chapter the evils of drink.

:rotfl: give it your best shot:p

I fall for it everytime Aussielass. I read your post without looking who you are and think "how can anyone have done all that already" Hope you have had a good day.

Penelope Penquin- :j Hello from the founder member of I love to be mentioned club!!!

Well a good day here I think. Wasn't called into work. No pennies but thank goodness.

So home made pasties are out of the freezer as is soup for lunch.

Shopping list is made for the weekend

WM on and bed stripped.

Congratulations to all those celebrating and gentle thoughts to all those who are feeling alone or just plain fed up.

csarina

Morning all.................((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))))) if you need one.

A quickie this morning just going out.

Visit to the garden centre yesterday was a success, bout two cyclamen for myself and one for another resident........OH got the manure he was after and I bought a bag of spuds for £3.25.

Off to the local shopping centre and then this avvy to see my friwnd. She goes to Cyprus for three weeks next Wednesday.

See y'all later..............

mioliere

Hi all - just popped in with a coffee and to tell you all the the thread cold has reached these parts and I am now sniffing and sneezing. I need to phone my mum to tell her; she'll insist we still go because I know she's been looking forward to our visit but her immunity is low (due to having half of each lung removed when she was pregnant with me because she had TB) and we are always cautious about giving her anything that could make her ill.

TAPLADY - thanks for the birthday wishes for her!

KYLE - well done - all that typing! I've printed it off and will study it when I have more time but it looks brilliant. Perhaps Aussie will come back with the antipodean version.

PENPIN - hope you're feeling better. You really do have a lot to contend with - I take my hat off to you. Well done on all your sales. I haven't sold on Amazon for ages but have just added some old study books to my list. I sold a book on Green Metropolis last week - that's the first one in about six months so fingers crossed!

Well, I think I had better go and do something. (((hugs))) to all those who need them and 'thanks' for whoever it was who sneezed on me!!
