[quote]<strong>Thankyou for wee Claire. It's in the back o' my mind that Mrs MotI knows her - or was it somebody else frae Gregory's Girl? Cannae remember offhand.</strong><hr></blockquote>

[quote]<strong>Aye - I am now 'Sir' in regognition of my cornucopious lifetime achievements in which admittedly quantity has triumphed over quality.

[quote]<strong>Now - back tae topic. The Most Beatiful Girl in the World was that reed heidit lassie on Platform 2 wi' the emerald jaiket and matching eyes that used tae play hard tae get by pretending she wasnae rampantly heid-over-heels in love wi' me. Picture if ye will the morning sun burnishing the wet platform tae fiery gold, sae bricht ye could hardly look, blurring the boundaries 'tween Earth and Heaven. In the midst o' the splendour this angelic vision - almost in sillhouette - wi' lang red locks blowing in the breeze o' passing trains. A toss o' the heid, a quick glance, a wee hint o' a smile. Then she'd be gone - off on the 810 wi' never a word said and the chance gone again. Ochone, such is life and love.</strong><hr></blockquote>
