is it the same Albert Ross wha used to live in Hermaness, Unst? hope so, he was missing for a good few years. If albatrosses' have wishbones, how would we pull it? and what would we wish for?

I have black eyestripes, does that qualify for distinguished? And how does Albert Ross live in Herman Ess??? Isn't he a biped with a d.o.g., not a rather untidy heap of sticks? *sigh* Life among you humans is sometimes very confusing for felines.

Is this how Ross' Frozen Foods started? Or is it the pickling branch of the family who also make exceedingly good Edinburgh Rock? Is this the sort of Ross trivia you are looking for?

Are you the same Annie Beag who is signing 'The only Seabird Book You'll Ever Need' at Ottakars in Dingwall this Saturday?

The Dodos were long digested by the time they realized they were endangered. Trust the Dutch to eat first and ask questions later. Claim ignorance (a moral if not legal defense) and enjoy ole Albert, basted in honey and sprinkled with oats a la Hamish, wishbone and all [Wish for the return of the Ivory billed woodpecker, Scallowawife]. That will teach him to leave Hermaness.

Hope he doesn't try to pinch my chips like the seagulls in Stornoway.

I'd wish for Albert not to fly over my washing line when I'm drying the sheets.

I'd wish for ancient mariners to avoid any albatros-related target practice. The crew of the Muirneag might be OK as their aim doesn't seem to be too good.

Is Albert Ross any relation to Jack Dore?

Don't know if he's from the Ross frozen food dynasty, but he might be related to Jonathon of TV fame?

[A man in an ice cream girl's uniform is standing in a spotlight with an ice cream tray with an albatross on it.] Man: (loudly) Albatross! Albatross! Albatross! Person: (approaching) Two choc-ices, please. Man: I haven't got choc-ices. I only got albatross. Albatross! Person: What flavour is it? Man: It's a bird, innit? It's a bloody sea bird... it's not any bloody flavour. Albatross! Person: Do you get wafers with it? Man: 'Course you don't get bloody wafers with it! Albatross! Person: How much is it? Man: Ninepence. Person: I'll have two, please. Man: (loudly) Gannet on a stick!
