In praise of Uwila - we love her - please come in.

[TGIFridayGirl]

I just wanted to say I love Uwila and her straight talking honesty. If you don't like butt out! If you do, join this thread in praise of her.

no Edinburgh is Auld Reekie

RTKM - For some reason although it's part of Scottish dialect it's still viewed as slang. Well around here it is.... so we are encouraged as children to speka 'properly'! But then that's all out the windy when you get a bit aulder.

My Orcadian ex-boss used to day he hated visiting friends in Edinburgh ("down south") because they always opened the door with the saluation, "Ye'll have had yer tea". Or maybe they just did that to him.
It's old, Toothache . From The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie I think...

so is AYE for "common" speech

Like Yeah rather than Yes ?

Or what my nephews say EEAR OR URGH [grunt, which I can't spell]

I took so long to post you had answered my question

Thanks

Don't this thread has anything to do with Uwila anymore Socci. She hasn't even posted on it!

It was a bit of a naff thread to start in the 1st place.... but hey, we've detracted it from the subject well have we not?

Haggis McBaggis is a very popular term in this hoose! Cae canny the noo.

LOL at this thread! WHERE is TGIFridayGirl I wonder??!

You know what this reminds me of? Sitting in a classroom when I was about 13, and other girls passing around a note that you had to sign if you had any chance of being accepted by the in-crowd - "Sign here if you love the Bay City Rollers/Osmonds/David Cassidy", and you were treated like a leper if you didn't sign it. What a shame that people really seem to think that they and the people they chat with are somehow more important than the rest of us. It would be nice if some of these posters actually bothered to come away from their cosy little haven and speak to us mere mortals every now and then, they'd realise that MN is actually quite a supportive little community in its own right.

Haven't read all this thread, but have cottoned on to the Scottish dilect bit. Where I am from originally they say David as DaviT. Also we have an Inging Bridie which is a meat pie with onion. Hope Nailpolish comes on soon as her and I are from the same area and she will probably remember a lot more.

Well said, You have worded it so well.

I notice that not many are here saying how wonderful she is.

I declined the invitation to join her supporters

So I suppose I should butt out

Shouldn't I

Inging Bridie

How do you pronounce that?

So is it meat and onion pie?

Well said, WWB

WWB - Showin yer age there eh? David Cassidy?? Isn't he a TV Chef?

Cannae quite beleieeeeeeve this thread is still goin, but I'm fair chuffed aboot that, coz I'm havin a bevvy and fancied a laugh!

Same here, Toothache. Heehee.

Wonder is Uwila has seen this yet... bet she wasn't too pleased about it being started! I wouldn't have been. I've had many a flounce.... and a "Come back M2T" thread was never popular.

IMHO I think this is very funny too

I know I shouldn't be here and that I should butt out

But hey

I am allowed to post where I like aren't I

Well, I'm not much bothered, you see, b/c I've had a bit of drink. Hell, even w/o any drink . . . . I take e/thing on the chin up here.

Ha! Uwilla's got so much front she probably started it herself

soapbox pmsl

I just think it is soooo funny
