Dale says "Boomerang": We say "Chance to Practice Gaelic" and Silly Innuendo


We were fascinated to read that the two bonnie lassies who found themselves abed with the quixotic SNP 'member' Angus MacNeil are one half of the gaelic grrrl power folk band Teine. We're not quite sure how that should be pronounced? Teeny perhaps? Tiny? But as we say in the gaelic: Is fheàrr teine beag a gharas na teine mòr a loisgeas. The little fire that warms is better than the big fire that burns. Or "Size doesn't matter". And remember if you ever find find yourself newly elected, alone and lonely, bladdered and soon to be a dad in a hotel bar and you spy two lovelies: Bàthaidh uisge teth teine. Hot water will quench fire. Hot shower and self-service-you-can-trust saves getting into hot water.

I think you'll find that is Size does matter ... and teeny is better.

I'm proud to say I also have a teeny turn out for votes at 45% - well below average - and have a very disappointing record on delivery of replies to correspondence.

All fessed up. Hallelujah!
