The Doors 02 Who Do You Love Absolutely Live

Y'see?

re. previous posts - THIS is what spews forth when one has what is commonly called a "hangover".

Death, Biscuits and Baccy

Is there anything else worth thinking about?

Vic and Bob - Mulligan and O'Hare

Still has me in hysterics.

King of Comedy - Pupkin Chats with Liza & Jerry

I'm very tempted to say this is my favourite movie clip. Just, you know, says a lot about the ...oh I can't be bothered.
The final line from the scene is clipped - it's a shame as it's the best "Good luck in Rio".

Kind of a metaphor for life. Good luck in Rio. As if.

Scots wurd o' the nicht - "buck"

Does anyone ever use this word? The only place I've encountered it is in Midlothian. It was used as a substitute for the eff word.

Buck off. Not buckin' likely. I'm buckin' freezin'. And so forth.

Buckin' broncos never came into it. Unfortunately.

The Jesus & Mary Chain - Blues From A Gun live Oslo 2007

Processed meat of the week

Chopped pork, from the local butcher's, via Spar.

I know, I know.

It's packed full of salt, chemicals, preservatives, and saturated fat. That's why it tastes brilliant.

On a sandwich with a bit of tomato as sop to the bowels. Sprinkling of pepper. Eh??

Oooh I think I've a wee touch of indigestion...pain under the ribcage, centre of chest, radiating up into the jaw and down the left A-A-A-A-R-R-R-MMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!

Sound horn

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm......no, I won't.

Ben Y Vrackie from the old A9 recently. Just south of Bruar.

Biscuit of the week - the Coco-nut Ring

I'm repeating myself again. I knew I shouldn't have eaten that second slice of black pudding this morning.

No. I have featured the Co-operative Coco-nut Ring as biscuit of the week before.

I'm sorry to be doing it again, really I am, but I have a very limited biscuit range. I only really eat Toffee Dodgers, jam sandwich creams (Fox's, preferably) and these. And that's probably quite enough. I'm not really interested in further biscuit exploration. I don't care for a chocolate biscuit as a rule, but if I do I would probably opt for a KitKat. Although I quite like those really chunky chocolate chip cookies. I dislike the word "cookie".

Anyway - the coconut ring is a plain biscuit, light and shortbready in texture with a very good coconut flavour - so good that it might well be artificial but I can't be bothered checking the list of ingredients to find out. There are loads in the packet and they're only 87p so a pretty good buy I reckon.

Highly recommended.

Scots wurd(s) o' th' day - fuckin' radge

We're abandoning Chambers's Scots Dictionary for the moment and coming bang up to date (well...1970s/80s) with our Scots wurds o' th' day.

Fuckin' radge. Or, fuckin' radgepot. Common parlance in the Edinburgh I remember so well from my youth.

Fuckin' adj. (NOT Scots, of course. It's merely a frequently employed prefix)

Radge(pot) n.

As in, "Ye're a fuckin' radgepot, ya bam."

I've just consulted Chambers's Scots dictionary (1959 edition) and I find the word "radgie". Interesting. I wonder if this is the same word? The dictionary has it as an adjective.

Radgie, adj. horse, &c.: becoming excited and plunging wildly.

It sounds plausible anyway.
