A Blatant Plug

Aberdonians are indeed more than welcome at the Fank. There will be a tractor rank at the ferry to meet those coming from Deesside. It will be fourth tractor along and will have Bon Accord Express on the side of the trailer - the pop company are sponsoring the route. There will be a hostess service on the trailer selling hot drinks, postcards and phrase books. The front two tractors is for the Arran women as they struck first -they get the plush seating and increased leg room. The third tractor is for Teuchters. Others can jump on any of the other tractors hired in for the event. I hope Aberdeen Anne isn't too glamorous as Donald and I don't want the Arran women upset and that Lone Sheiling woman can be a bit uppity as well if things don't go her way. Donald is shyly asking if the Anne colleague can cook!! Nuf said.

We've not long had the electric - is a blatant plug something we should be looking out for?

It's a three pin. There'll be one at the end of your computer wire. Fumble along the skirting till you get a shock.

Aberdonians! How about Sebastopudlians? I've two lovely daughters. The youngest 24 makes a mean curry and would learn a Guga curry in no time. She's trained in physiotheraphy and dances the flamenco. The eldest 26 is a fine dancer as well--show tunes type and is a whiz teaching the young ones. Can't cook though and won't clean anything. I'm prepared to pay all expenses as well as a small dowry.

My Uncle Angus used to have plug tobacco. He was a man ahead of his time that one with his electric cigs. As for being uppity Calum, the Sisters for High Echelons just like to see fair play. If this so-called 'Glamorous Anne' is coming over as a ferry passenger it's not right that she gets all the perks that Sunny and the rowers get after all their har work. If she'd got anything about her she'd cover herself in Echo margarine and swim here instead of acting the posh bisom with her Aberdonian airs and graces. Haven't noticed her contributing recipes or sharing handy hints about sand blasting the testimonials. No. She should prove herself before she's allowed onto the list for the burgeoning or it'll be Agnes Anne Morrison all over again. There was a lady with a lamp at Sebastopol? Do yon young lassies have lamps or are they a bit dim? Sounds like it. It'll take more than a bit of Guga Bhuna to make any impression round here. Cheeky bloggers.

Daughters sound fine though maybe a touch on the young side. Guga curry isn't the easiest dish to master as people tend to overcompensate with Cumin and it doesn't mix with coconut milk if you're thinking along malayan curry mixes. Annie Beag is I believe somewhere near you next week as she is visiting lecturer in Dating Extravaganzas and Human Hysteria at Stamford University. Perahps you could hook up and she'll sign the girls up. Assume you're sending buffalo as dowry. They love mozzarella on Arran! Great to get your posting.

The Arran Babes aren't the least concerned about Aberdonian Anne or the Colonial Daughters and look forward to them dancing attendance behind us as we are escorted to the fank in your luxurious agricultural vehicles, we will be grateful for a dead sheep to lean back on after a strenous row. No need to worry Annie B I'm sure magnanemous is your middle name and I'm presuming you will have pride of place with the welcoming committee. I think all this special treatment may have gone to my head....

Sorry to hear that you'll be having a strenuous row Sunny. Calumannabel seems adamant that there'll be no counselling, so you'll have to deal with the fallout from any conflict yourselves. Great snap of you all in the longboats on the ´óÏó´«Ã½ site.

Just a quickie for Mike's comment. The only shock I've recieved so far fumbling along skirtings was the lad(die)y in Rotterdam, say no more eh!

Glad to hear Aberdonians are welcome at the Fank. I could take some of my male friends from the city but I’d be too worried about your sheep… Please let Donald know that, while cooking is not my forte, I can easily rustle up a nice plate of stovies and a mealie pudding. Plus, along with the Bon Accord fizzy drink I could take along a suitcase full of butteries. You should also know that I’m au fait with the local lingo because at work I sit beside a Ness native. So that would be useful, ma tha. I’m possibly a bit older than the dancing Colonial Daughters but I can certainly entertain you all with a quick sword dance or Highland fling. Is this the sort of thing you’re looking for?
