What exactly do you have to think about to get tractor stains?
Nic from Coll
Any resolutions for the Chinese New Year? I'm thinking of giving up Lent.

you could always go a wee swim to Kilda if u run out of rats in Niseach land - here they've got aplenty coming off that stricken ship.......
rats?? from just thinking......
I might swim backstroke from Leverburgh to St Kilda then people would be unsure whether I was coming or going. Most tractor stains Nic are caused by spillages of tinned tomato in the driver's sandwiches although sheep dip, sheep paint, tar and seal oil all make their mark too.

sorry CA, but why do the women have to be wrinkly if they're to go *under* the tarpaulin ...? are they striving for 'creative truth' ...!!!

I'm sure she's made plenty over the years...

Pretty good, Calum., and a good Friday to you. I shall be looking forward to the Year of the Cheviot Ewe.

Calumnabel is counting on global warming and his shameless advertising hype to bring hordes of Chinese tourists to Ness next year, and the years to follow ... rats or no rats. I prefer dragons, wrinkled or otherwise.
Barney from Swithiod in a dragon mood
Calumnabel, any report on how Annie B's mousepaw is healing? When can the fans lok forward to further intrepid revaltions from the hard-hitting Annie B's blog?
Barney from Swithiod solicitously
You write, "...we have got eight on the oldest most wrinkled women of Ness and put a tarpaulin over them - the effect's pretty much the same..." Why not get eight of the oldest, most wrinkled men, get them to emulate a Chinese dragon? There's an unpleasant flavour of misogyny revealed in your writing. I though the 成人快手 had higher standards. Mind you, if this is satire, I guess there's a cultural context that's lost on me.

I think you got it right with the last sentence Argyll. The gentle art of irony is lost on you...

This is a question of demography and population evolution Argyll. We have no wrinkled men in Ness. They die at a young age of exhaustion due to a shortage of eligible men and a surfeit of willing women. Which is why Donald and I organise the Fank every year to ease the strain. Apart from being one hell of a Scrabble winner, I dont recognise this misogyny - we flavour most of our food in Ness with lashings of brown sauce. Of course we are up for trying anything new if you want to send us a bottle of it.

No need to take offense Argyll. Calum. in his wisdom realizes that a selection of eight of the oldest, most wrinkled men could lead to a disturbance of the peace (riot, in other words, by those - so many - he would be forced to leave out) in Lewis. To a fault, Calum. is a most law abiding citizen [if you don't believe me, ask Annie B when she comes out of the hospital], and he never takes anything out of Emporiojohn without shouting: "don't forget to put it on my slate!". He is not a misogynist either: at the annual Fank he gives pride of place to women (ask ChrissieMary, if you wish). No, Argyll, I don't smell a rat.

Judging by Annie-B's last posting, Barney, she was not so much hard-hitting as hard hit. PTSD, the works. Probably that misogynist Calum. getting some exercise. Olympiad in Beijing coming up, and Calum. is in the heavy-weight class (aren't you old boy?). I hear he is taking salted Guga with him: not for him thousand year old duck eggs, thank you.

Mr. Argyll the men wear enormous clothes which hide the wrinkles and are quite reticent about removing them in plain view. The women are more enlightened and at home in their skins hence their acceptance of the great honor of leading the parade.
