Subject: 2008 Scottish Mudgather From: John MacKenzie Date: 20 May 08 - 07:28 PM Right folkies, due to popular demand, I have asked a local hotel to pencil in the weekend Hopefully we can do it all again only better this time. The hotel has 23 beds, and if we fill them then there are local B&B's. Malcolm the governor has quoted a special discount rate of £30 per person per night, for B&B The hotel is called The Achness Hotel, and it is in Rosehall. It is just a little bit further the the last venue, and not so close to the station [Lairg], however I can arrange to get people transported to the hotel from the station. All those interested, please let me know, as it is only pencilled in at the moment. We need to see what the response is, before we finalise the details. Giok |

Subject: RE: 2008 Scottish Mudgather From: Catherine Jayne Date: 21 May 08 - 03:51 AM Sadly we won't be able to make it this year as the babies will be too small and I won't have had time to get their passports for them to fly! Next year will be a definite possibility....fingers crossed my dad doesn't get ill again!! |

Subject: RE: 2008 Scottish Mudgather From: maeve Date: 22 May 08 - 05:00 AM Camping would be fine with me if we could find a way to join you all in October, Giok. |
|

Subject: RE: 2008 Scottish Mudgather From: SINSULL Date: 23 May 08 - 08:36 AM That would be a wonderful way to celebrate my birthday. But time and finances are against me. |

Subject: RE: 2008 Scottish Mudgather From: John MacKenzie Date: 23 May 08 - 10:50 AM Go on Mary, go for it girl! G |
|
Subject: RE: 2008 Scottish Mudgather From: Megan L Date: 23 May 08 - 12:36 PM Come on Mary ye ken fine ye want tae see if the Scots are quite as glaikit as they luk. |
|
Subject: RE: 2008 Scottish Mudgather From: SINSULL Date: 23 May 08 - 12:39 PM glaikit? |
|
Subject: RE: 2008 Scottish Mudgather From: Megan L Date: 23 May 08 - 12:40 PM he he hiv ye never met Giok then ;) it means daft and dinny ask maeve she might clype |
|
Subject: RE: 2008 Scottish Mudgather From: maeve Date: 23 May 08 - 02:02 PM Yes, Mary- foolish, silly, thoughtless. You can find it in the Oxford English Dictionary (my favorite) as well as You-tube. Here's just one of the links Mr. Google offers, with a bit of the probable origin of the word discussed: http://www.word-detective.com/2007/06/08/glaikit/ I expect that glaikit could apply to me more often than Megan or Giok will admit, kind folk that they are. It's a condition I strive to avoid, however and not one I would particularly associate with the Scots of my acquaintance. |
