Default tread lightly

Mark, Ma says she has a wee bit of Scottish Blood in her, one of the favourite targets for the Scots was the knees. After that it would be a simple matter to administer the Frying Pan to the heed.

Never mind all that silliness... I had to watch her like a hawk, else she'd have gone home with a couple of the old guys*... they took quite a shine to her (obviously not knowing who they were dealing with).

*I was worried about them, not her.

No, actually I was wearing my blazer and medals...... must have been the sun's reflection from them that blinded her....... , besides, I had my bodyguard with me who also wore combat boots for twenty-one years and trust me, you don't want to mess with a five-foot female of the other official language when she attacks ...... ........

Default re heid

Jon, I could plead a typo but I guess it was the Scouse part of my heritage that made the error. My mother was born in Rutherglen, my wife in Dundee, my daughter in law in Dunbarton, you would think I would know better by now.
I have awarded myself 16 lashes (you know where) with a wet noodle I hope that is sufficient punishment for my missdeed.
I avoided the clearances by being a sneaky bugger, still am my wife tells me and Hadrian's Wall was built to keep the Scots out of England not the English out of Scotland and it didn't work either way.
