I'll be away frae here frae 11 -26 August (inc.)

This post is not just tae give all my fans the opportunity to say how much they'll miss me. There are four other very good reasons:

1. I'm not the sort of sad case who takes a sat. laptop wae me;
2. The mods need advance notice so that they can relax;
3. Grecian needs to learn to live withoot me whilst I'm at the Edinburgh - "name-dropping" - Festival for a week; and thereafter wandering around wae a tent.
4. I'll be back.

Don't do anything I wouldn't do.

That gives us a week get our our offensive posts in. Alas, I shall be away.

Tomorrow we leave for Switzerland to stay in a chalet that Ateach52 has rented. So there will be no opportunity to interact with Tonya.

FYI, Ateach52 has refused my offer of cooking a meal. Since the chalet doesn't have internet she won't know that I am paying no attention. It will be simple: some local salami-type sausage and olives; confit de canard and pommes sarlardaises; salad; a local melon. And nice wines. Eaten on the balcony with a view of snow-capped mountains.

So, to make use of Tonya's post, I shan't be here for a week.

Au revoir. A bientot.

Niner - I wouldn't dream of it!

Baz - alas, there'll be no snow-capped mountains in Edinburgh (I trust!) but maybe some nice wine. Enjoy the chalet - and I have no doubt ye most certainly shall. And there'll be time aplenty for future interaction...

thanks fur that. I am no ignorant o'it, but ah am wunderin why ye would dae it? Dinnae think ahm ignorant just fur asking the question? And ye only dae it fur every tenth word as weil, so truly yer jist playin at it. It jist looks silly tae me.

Did ye no check ma background before ye stated wi the ignorance thing? Dae yer wee game proper, or gie it a rest.

Yours in ignorance

Iain
