Scunnered, knackered, feeling blue,

Not really sure what l should do.

Open my mail, a message from Emma

Wherein she describes a great dilemma!

To moan or not to moan? That's the rub

But Emma, thank you for cheering me up!

Hello Emma!

I was wondering where your tip pot has gone? I can't find it anywhere!

Although I don't want to commit to a subscription, I do want to support you as best I can - because with your witty writing and insights into the PD thing we're all dealing with, you support me too! xx

Scunnered is such a good word, and dreich and glaikit . Though I'm pissed off to see this on the web "Dreich revealed as the 'most iconic Scots word' - ITVX" Fuck off with that stupid i word.

Must get signed of with Ko-fi - thanks for the reminder. Hope you have a better day tomorrow.

Scots is a rich language in profanity and expression! I saw this on twitter and it made me giggle: β€œYou don’t know what fun is until you’ve witnessed a drunk on the Edinburgh to Glasgow train screaming β€œA fucking hate hedgehogs, come at me ya jabby wee cunt” while angrily circling a hairbrush that’s been dropped on the floor…”

Hahaha - brilliant - I can hear it now. I used to have a good Pethshire accent until I fell in with the English boys at weird startup boarding school - which, I hasten to add, I only went to because my mum got a job as cook and they gave me free place.
