Tunnel of Love?

Donald has applied for outline planning permission and is looking for any old cas croms ( potato diggers) He feels that if the Lewis side is dug manually it will provide 'chobs for the boys' for many years to come. We are going to use the collected spoil to build an artificial ski slope at Skigersta which the village has been crying out for. We are forming a new rail company to bid for the Trans Minch rail contract - Caledonian MacTrain has a definite ring to it!!

Will they have sheep day return tickets?

We could pop down when the OIC have built our tunnel under the Firth (The Tunnel of Mirth - everyone splits their sides when some mug comes up with this 'new idea'...again) with our tushkars and give you a hand. Errrrr.....did one of you rather carelessly lose a ferry? It's just we have a small black tub called Hebridean Isles in Stromness Harbour and it's definitely not one of ours. It's a wee kinda sub-standard thing - Caramac or something. Not what we're used to at all....

What is a hardcore anorak? I knew they made outerwear from recycled plastic bottles but not from road foundation material. I think there is an Ian Allan living in South Dell already but whether it's the same one of trainspotting fame I'll have to ask his brother Donald Allan. Doe he open his front door with an Allan Key Donald asks?

Will Donald's construction team involve 5 unemployed tarmac layers - 'Boys from the Blog Stuff'?

Some moggie grumbled that probably Ewan McGregor will be sliding up in a hardcore mac (not anorak: where do you think the Fank is being held? In the US?!).

After the Castle Grounds Express we now get the Harris Tunnel. Erm, isn't Eurotunnel practically bust?

Is this a hardcore Mac I'm blogging from?
Flying Cat from alert but not alarmed
Well, one mention of a tunnel and our ferries go AWOL looking for new routes. Fancy not knowing what a hardcore anorak is, Calum. You'll find one in the JD Williams catalogue near the tar mac section.

I think Shorn Bean is more likely to turn up at the Fank than Ian MacGregor.

No, FC, it's a hard-wired Mac you are blogging from. Any new Vista in your neighborhood?

There are lots of practical busts at the WRI. You can have the AWOL ferry back right now if you really want it. After yesterday's crossing the carpets will need cleaning......
Flying Cat from confused but bearing up
Donald likes practical busts he also likes unfeasibly large ones but his psychiatrist is addressing this problem.

How does a psychiatrist address an unfeasably large bust? I'd really like to know. This information may come in handy....
Flying Cat from confused but bearing up
In pretty much the same way as you address a haggis - same shape (roughly) same consistency in some cases too.

I am not sure I am to believe what I am reading. And I am pretty convinced all the mushrooms I collected were the normal comestible type, if not necessarily kosher.
mjc from NM,USA
Same consistancy????? The few remaining wimmin in the West must either have hardcore X Your Heart foundation garments, or implants. Another use for CB's finest puds...
Flying Cat from an admiring glance
It's the peat implants that give the consistency. Cosmetic surgery at the Lewis Hospital is a bit different to anywhere else.
Dr Finlay from The Surgery Brue
No wonder the wimmin are leaving in droves. They're fleeing Lewis for higher quality plastic surgery on the mainland. And then.......inexplicably, not returning. It's a real puzzle...

The problem with peat implants, I have it from a reliable source at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is that the peat tends to dry up. The consequences can be imagined. Not as bad as kapok implants, but still not ideal. There were suggestions on Arnish's blog (but I may have misread) that Hebridean seaweed might be considered (anything to help the local industry in Lewis, or was it Harris?), but the jury is still out on this one. # However, really, who needs implants? 'tis just the fantasy of old geezers who have passed their salad days in dreams rather than actively.
