Hey InOBU, where is this HALF KING restaurant you're promoting so effectively.

On the subject of Loch Lomond. I could never understand the last line of the last verse:

"but the broken heart it kens(knows) nae(no) second spring
an' resigned we may be tho' we're greetin' "

until it whacked me upside the head. greetin' is the same as the Swedish "grata" -- to cry or weep. Makes much more sense than saying "hi"
