3 never read so had to research the truth nb hurricane not hurricand
4 But we hae meat and we can eat
Sae let the lord be thankit.
5 E . I.. and S…
As an aside are you attempting to have a second celebration with the haggis and the Whiskey on the 25th of June. I am fortunate that Mrs GD celebrates the 25th June as her B.Day but don’t mention the Haggis as she’s of the southerners, English that is, my love does however enjoy most things Scottish just not The Haggis.
Typo corrected,thanks.
January 25th is Burns night, but what’s the Scottish link to June 25th? (In spite of my tartan genes the pleasures of both haggis and whisky/whiskey escape me so I won’t be partking of either regardless of what’s to be celebrated).
1 Anaka’s place.
2 Ad libitum – meaning at your pleasure.
3 I’m afraid haven’t a baldy.
4 We hae meat and we can eat, so let the lord be thnakit (Burn’s grace)
5 E and S (. and …)
1 ‘A special place’ or similar sentiment
2 My 6th form UE Latin is recalled; ad libitum: meaning go freely.. make it up!!
3 Desmond Bagley.. if not him try Len Dreighton
4 Robbie Burns, can’t remember the next two lines, but I will always remember the words as our skipper Chay Blyth recited them as we celebrated Hogmanay in the Southern Ocean on the Round the World Yacht race between NZ and Cape Horn!!
5.. Definitely ‘s’, and possibly ‘a’ and if one was dyslexic then it could be anything….
ps a a former full back for the London Italian rugby team, I have to say that I would have enjoyed todays 1-all victory no matter who won!!
1. Pass.
2. To make up – in speech.
3. Zane Gray – they could be Westerns.
4. But we ha’e meat and we can eat
And sae the lord be thankit.
5. S is the only one I know.
