Is it really you?
Jim Pooley Posted Nov 5, 1999
No, I'm just standing in in fact
What am I standing in? in fact its fiction that I'm standing cos I'm sitting
The fact/fiction is that Omally left the pub, got on his bike
and was last seen disappearing up his back passage

just looked it up in a BOOK!
The Oxford English Dictionary (my edition - published 1964)
WIDDERSHINS Var. of WITHERSHINS
WITHERSHINS adv. (Sc.) In a direction contrary to apparent course of sun (considered as unlucky)
well... you learn something new every day
And (Sc.) means Scottish
widdershins
Zed Posted Nov 7, 1999
Y'do indeed! Well I never knew that. I always thought it meant anti-clockwise or leftish!
Cheers for that, you learn something intersting everyday, wether you like it or not, eh.

If that self-styled self-satisfied smug git wanders in here we shall have to have him shot. And that 'acolyte' of his!

Tee hee, I was searching for researchers with the name of "poo" and ol Jim turned up, being a part time Ranking fan I had to have a look!
Love the poems, but how did you know that our Tesco's was out of stock?
I loved the Brentford trilogy and the Armageddon series but I don't know which ones I have read now, D'oh! Oh well, the latest Discworld novel is out so that will keep me happy for a bit
