Size queen... ;)

Once again my dear Hilde ...you have lost me?

Oh c'mon Farmboy, Orkney's the one bit of the islands that isn't under the whip of the Wee Frees; your upbringing can't have been :that: sheltered... ;)

You wouldn't get bogged-down in one of them, would you.

'whip of the wee frees'
*vacant expression* ?????

Joker: I would hope not otherwise you've got a long walk! theyr'e weighing in at around 32 tons estimated

The whip as in party line - the whips being enforcers in politics & the Wee Frees having been very loud & active in their political attempts to make as much of Scotland as possible, as miserable as possible, even if only once a week. - Were the swings chained up in the playground on Sunday when you were a kid? It's a Wee Frees thing... :)

Thankfully Orkney was well out of that nonsense - the wonders of coming from Norse ownership, instead of Gaelic!
