    Should auld headsets be forgot,
    and never brought to mind ?
    Should auld brake drop be forgot,
    and auld lang syne?

    For Ell Bee Ess, my jo,
    for Ell Bee Ess,
    We’ll ignore oneline deals
    For Ell Bee Ess.
    And surely ye’ll be your cake-stowp !
    and surely I’ll be mine !
    And we’ll tak a fettlin' fae free,
    fae Ell Bee Ess!

    We twa hae goan yae STI's,
    and pu’d the downtubes fine ;
    But we’ve wander’d mony a weary shift,
    sin auld lang syne.

    We twa hae paidl’d i' the burn,
    Fir Strava KOM is ain ;
    But seas between us braid hae roar’d
    sin auld lang syne.

    And there’s a cake, my trusty Yard!
    and gie's a bun o’ thine!
    And we’ll tak a cinnamon bun in,
    for auld lang syne.

    A happy and productive new year to all. Glad to see a creative re-write of Auld Lang Syne - good work Uberuce! A free cake awaits!

    Irene and I started off well with doing a few of the free themed concerts in the Old Town. Had to queue for an hour at NMS but we got free beer and oatcakes with salmon at first venue. Plus great music. Thank you Ceilidh Place Ullapool.
    Spotted a couple of people doing the venues by bike. Well kent cyclist Gandalf was on his bike sporting his usual orange jacket at City Arts Centre.

    Nicely done Uberuce. But cinnamon? Cardamom surely?

    @cyclingmollie, was your dad infected by Sir Harry Lauder syndrome? dads always have sayings (I wonder what mine are?) My own dad had a tendency towards well, well, well, three holes in the ground. others were The Three Worst Words In Golf - It's Still You

    I fear mine is rather more prosaic Shut That Door. I could try for a larry Grayson effect but he is largely forgotten.

    Au Contraire, I heard his Shut That Door song on Radio 4 last week.

    I have many phrases but they are usually culled from The Big Lebowski or Star Trek.

    After watching that youtube clip it then did that thing where it went to four more clips, one of Larry with possibly Janet Tough pre wee jimmy krankie, one of larry, one of Kenneth Williams and Bernard Manning and one of Billy Graham.

    Which is the odd one out?

    Larry was never known to have a real partner, Everard was mythical.

    Kenneth Williams lived next door to his mum and Manning moved in with his mum after his wife died.

    Graham was married for more than 60 years.

    Krankies are known swingers so I'm going to say the Krankies because they are the ones who most make you want to poke out your mind's eye.

    When the different families get together we play a game called Who is in the bowl. Do not worry, it is not a krankies sort of game. Basically you put famous peoples' names on pieces of paper in the bowl and try to guess who they are. as many as you can in a minute First round you can use any words except those on the card, second round only one word (still not on card) third round miming only. My sister in-laws wee jimmy krankie mime was exceptional this Xmas. She mined climbing up a beanstalk then falling off. We were teasing her by saying we had absolutely no idea.

    The English members of the family complain I put in obscure scots. I have had to buy them Broons Annuals.
