hey ... I got lost... I went to the forum.. and we had all disappeared... so I thought that was it bye.... then I had a brain breeze and typed in 'glasgow pub songs' into the search... sheesh.. when will this stuff ever get easy... thanks for the compliments... I have been spending some days doon in Dumfries where I met the AMAZING jane who runs the GLOBE INN .. which, if you dont know is Robert Burns hang out.... its all been preserved and I found his verses to POLLY STEWART scratched into the window of the room he kipped in when he was too steaming to go home... The bed is there and the same mattress... Jean says I can sleep a night in it if I go back and sing a couple of songs... she told me a great story of two wee wumin staring at the Naysmith etching of RB ... one says to the other: 'HO, Would you look at those eyes, wid ye no like him to casserole ye?" the other one says: "och! do you not mean CARRESS betty ...? CARRESSSSS!!!"' the first replys: 'NAW! Casserole... fur a guid two hours'
