Subject: RE: BS: The GLESCA BIBLE
Naw Nynia,that wisnae tung-in-cheek,it's a FACT.Mah auntie Jean sent me the book an she telt me aw aboot hoo the different churches were giein sermons oot o it.
There seems tae me tae be a wheen o self proclaimed experts on the scots languages that dinnae hae a clue aboot whit they're talkin aboot.When ah came tae Canada in 1966 at the ripe auld age o 23 naebody could understaun whit ah wis sayin,ask Rick,but noo ah,ve maistered it(noo that is tung-in-ckeek)When mah wife an son went hame on holiday aboot 5yrs ago they got in a cab tae go tae visit freens an they couldnae mak oot a word the driver wis sayin.
This is no the only chat that ah'm on but it withoot a doot is the maist picky an paranoid.The various threeds that are no music related seem tae lapse intae a slangin match in jig time.Ah've noticed that mony o them wid end up in fisticuffs if the posters were aw in the same room in the real warld. It's too bad as maist o it seems tae me tae stem fae the fact that it's aw done in writin.An awfy lot o intentions are lost because ye cannae see facial expressions an body language.An then there are the deliberate baiters.Then agin the baitees are jist as bad tae fa for it.
Onywie,ah've fun the book an if ye want ah'll dae anither wee excerpt fae it efter ah hae mah denner an come back fae the pub.
Spaw,ah like yer stories,ye have a talent there.Ah dae some masel.If ye want ye can see some o them at Dundee.ukf.net
Be warned tho,they are written even mair in the vernacular. LJC
