yeah, actually two of them, an amber colored Cocker Spaniel, "Lady" and a Boxer, called... GINGER.
Why did you choose your name?

I lived in Australia for 6 years and I picked up a Red Cloud Kelpie there who our lives revolve around ! ..... it's also a legendary Aussie dog in the Pilbara where I spent a fair bit of time. See http://www.dampiermermaid.com.au/dampier-western-australia/red-dog.htm

Louis de Berniere published a book about him a while after I joined HooToo.

Scottish Researchers are always happy to have fans

Hey that's a NICE doggie! How did you like your exile? Are you returned to the UK?

and yeah, I like being a fan of the SR's... if you'd accept me... cannot do the 8 pints, but would 4 do?

Yup - native of Aberdeen now.

We need our slightly tarnished Leader Jamie to adjudicate on the whole fan/supporter thing ..... but he appears to have been captured by Celtic fans, has had his hair died green and forced to wear a Clown costume over the hols. Gof knows what they plan for him for Hogmany ! We're awaiting the ransom note

If it were up to me I'd be happy to have a "Friends of Scottish Researchers" arm ...... maybe the joining fee could be feeding 8 pints to an SR

"the joining fee could be feeding 8 pints to an SR"

Now you are talking!!

Feeding makes it sound like we would complain. Which would only be true if there was fizzy disco water involved.

Perish the thought. It will be a warm day in Scotland before that happens!

~offers helpfully~You could freeze the pints and then eat it?

Gosh I know, that's not what you meant

Ok, I understand I will retire into lurkitude, rejected, ~sniff sniff~

Beer ice lollies....

Beersicles

Hmm Aleicles, sonds like a medical complaint!

... or a Greek philosopher !

How about Heavicles ?

Who presumably lives in Mildopolis?

No 80 Shilling Street I believe

*sighing*

*lurking*

*taps foot impatiently waiting for Jamie*

You know if he doesn't put in an appearance tomorrow that'll be it until next week ..... he'll have his usual 4 day Hogmany hangover to get over

*checks watch*

My guess is that he hasn't recovered from Christmas yet.

S'no excuse ... I had to dig myself and Mrs Red Dog out of a 4 ft snowdrift, ambush the sole passing taxi for an hour and fight our way into Aberdeen through a blizzard !

Well I did see him yesterday. He was still ginger but disturbingly sober, so I think he must have gone to phase three of his grand evil plan to take over the world. Either that or he was driving.

*fades out of lurkitude*

*raises her hand*

Excuse me... just wanted to wish you a Happy New Year!*

*fades back into her hideaway.*
