Sporran licence

Hello all,

had a nasty moment earlier: thought that I might have to pass round the begging bowl for a licence. Luckily, I came into existence before 1994.

Regards,

That's a good start to my day, John!

I guess the feather pins and grouse foot jewelly will soon come under scrutiny as well. Can't you just see all the back-room trading in used animal parts, falsification of documents ... I think a whole new industry may be spawned (bad pun, acknowledged).

Bats?!??

How many bats would it take to make a sporran?

Frances
A bit of fun, no disrespect to animal rights intended.

Hi Frances

I can imagine a new thread on TS entitled "Belfry Raiding Party".

My only concern is that Sane People are becoming an endangered species.

Sane People

I thought they became extinct years ago, Russell

Hi Russell:

Which speaks to the footnote! Good thing that John's legal anyway

No Mary

Not yet. There are over 2000 of us on TS. The only minor difficulty is that we are sharply focussed which is not a bad thing. Is it

Maybe we have Bells in our Batfry.

And Frances - 1984 was the year that doom was foretold wasn't it

Ah, well, ye see - I consider myself sharply focused, but my son considers that crawling about the floor till the "wee sma oors" Pritt-sticking pages of a family tree onto a roll of lining paper is nothing short of obsessive

The day he came home from work and found that I'd Blu-tacked this "collage" onto the wall all the way up the stairs (indoors, I hastily add) so that I might better view it? Well that was the day I came close to having the "Big van with the men in the white suits" called out to get me

Ah Mary

You'll have to tell him that I was one of 'those big men in the clean white suits!' and I don't consider crawling around the floor with a Pritt stick obsessive at any time of the day - or night. Just orderly and organised.

He should know that family trees are organic and develop, unlike stencils or printed wallpaper which is static and boring

Good Gordon Highlanders whit next

The bats are definately loose in the belfry, and the lunatics are truly running the asylum.

As we say over here, some folks really have a few roo's loose in the top paddock. Or a six pack short of a carton, or is it a few snags short of a barbie!!!!!!!!

Good grief as Charlie used to say. What would the great pumpkin think of these goings on!!!!!!

You mean like the postit notes that started to "sprout" on it over the course of the few days it was there?
