Ticklycough? Wasn't he a Russian composer?! ;o)

All the Bury Vest to those who can't make it - looking forward to all those butties!

Technically, a 'butty' is a kind of sandwich, but the difference is that the bread is folded, not cut... who cares, as long as they're edible?!

Butty also is Lancashire dialect (and others) for 'friend', hence the American 'buddy'.

It's also a barge (et al) towed behind another... this is getting too involved, I'll shurrup!

Be there, or... be somewhere else!
