The origin of the term 'Wee Frees'

Watching a repeat of' 'Coast' the other evening I realised how poor their coverage of the Standing Stones was. The contributor missed a 'golden' opportunity to enlighten viewers as to the origins of the term 'Wee Frees'. The Callanish site was erected 5000 years ago in one of the coldest places imaginable but had no toilet facilities. Anyone who needed to 'spend a penny' was in danger of frostbite because it was a place where there was always a danger of a 'wee freeze'. After that the term stuck.
Sorry I haven't blogged much lately. I have been busy helping erect the new battered wives' refuge in Ness. I can't of course tell you where it is but further info is available on the website www.allslapandnotickle.org.ecosse. It will be opened by Chrissie Mary Morrison next month.

Surely the use of the word '茅cosse' cannot be a baltantly cynical ploy to get a mention on the Sunday Times Blogspot?

Flying Cat from trying to believe one impossible thing.....


I can't quite figure out the "ecosse" in the Times blogspot, and now Calum's use. What next? Should we wait with garlic breath the imminent landing of the French Legion in Scotland in support of the rights of kilt sporters to wear frilly undies? Ecosse, indeed.

Wee Freeze at Callanish, ptui. Our magnificent erections here at Brodgar witnessed the ultimate wee freeze when the Big Yin did his famous streak.

Hyper-Borean from The Ley of the Land


It never crossed my mind using the 'ecosse' word. I was merely putting in a url that hopefully would stop people actually tryin to access it. I didn't use the surname as well as explaining a central part of our Christian heritage, Do oyu use flying cat so that you appeal to both aviation andf petlovers' publications? I think not.

calumeccosse from The Peoples' Friend


No toilet facilities? What about the peat bogs?

Annie B from the usual


I thought the Standing Stones were a mans urinal, am I wrong?

Tws from Confused


ooooooooooo tetchy...

Flying Cat from Calum'sbeinghorribletome


TWS, and you thought Callanish was the name of the urinal's sponsor?

mjc from NM,USA


The archaelogist guide told us that some of the Brodgar erections had tumbled down at one time or another, and had to be bolstered up. Apparently, Hyper-B., some of them also got moved around a bit. I dunno, but anyhow they look purty good. I would be willing to exchange the Ring of Brodgar for the Roswell UFOs.

Calumecosse? Nah, more like Calumcross. Cheery, Calum, cheery. By the way, did you notice that Fred Blog seems to be building a stone Fank next to his house? I am not sure how he threw his back, but Fred insists it was because of hard labor. Anyway, perhaps next year's Fank could be held at the Incomer's P(a)lace? Skinny dipping would be quite convenient, though some of us would prefer the use of the hydroshower.

Are there any aviation'n'petlovers' publications to brighten up the long winter evenings? Is it only a matter of time before Deagostini bring out a series of magazines with accompanying 'pet pilots' collectibles - Free Biggles the Border Collie in Issue One. If this is a goer, FC & Co. are well ahead of the game.

Annie B from the usual


...is it possible that the providers of this excellent facility have not taken into consideration the preference some men may have for wives crumbed or even lightly dredged?

Flying Cat from Tempura Wives Society


Sorry FC I blame the medicaction

calum from wrong side of the bed, ness


as being a very devout christian,i am very pleased that Miss Morrison is to open the refuge,after such a wild youth the young lady seems to be settling down to genteel life as i haven't heard anymore stories about her in the court papers

the weather girl from readingthe bible


A TC Organ- the Airtraffic Controllers' catlovers mag...free with every bag of kitty litter. Dear dog, I can't take much more of this, first mjc is nice to me and then Senior Blogger apologises...stoppit!!!

Flying Cat from suffering from underthebedness


Thought it stood for liberal bladder voiding, but there you go - if you have nothing else to go on, the Stones will have to do for an aiming aid.

Arnish Lighthouse from Stornoway


Biggles as border collie, Annie B?! As in Biggles and the lost sheep of Hoy? Biggles bites again? Biggles meets the vet?

mjc from NM,USA


don't worry FC tws has went quiet he soon be back cheeking you again

carol from with garfield grin


Are there any pamphlets explaining the religious significance of the lack of WCs at Callanish? A urinary tract might be useful?

Annie B from the usual


Maligning an honourable profession are we. Right that's me off to PPrune (Google if you dare)>

Hyper-Borean from The Runway Inn


I'd just like to say, I do hope Calum's erection is coming along fine...

Flying Cat from batteredhaddies


and, marvel of marvels, spontaneously, No Spice needed.

mjc from NM,USA


HB: i think you made a mistake in your spelling--should read PPROOM

tws's weather girl from inhiding


Old Spice?

Flying Cat from perseguiendo una mosca espagnol


I used to put Old Spice around my neck and cheeks, but those were the uni. days when a spoonful of Marvel whitener in a cup of Tetley tea was the height of luxury. I quickly figured out that a bunch of flowers would do the trick more effectively, even if I had to raid the Master's Garden and the Castle's grounds to get them. Living dangerously, but it was well worth it.

mjc from NM,USA


Oh no what's wrong with me I can't help wondering which cheeks...

Flying Cat from lyingdowninadarkenedroom


I should have known, FC, that your curiosity would get the better of you. The rosy cheeks, of course, FC, them rosy cheeks.

mjc from NM,USA


You're not really helping...

Flying Cat from Cheshire Grin


Modesty does not permit ...
