Oyez, Oyez! All Xmarkers interested in the life & works of Robert Burns are invited to join the Xmarks "Drouthy Cronies"! This social group takes its name from Souter Johnnie, Tam O'Shanter's "ancient, trusty drouthy cronie". http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/g...outhy-cronies/ Yours aye, Todd
I have joined and look forward to some lively discussion.
I just got wine called "Drouthy Neebors"! http://www.maclarenwine.com/#!wines

You know I'm in Todd!
Wish you all the best of luck with the new social group.
I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose… Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

A wee bit of an 'extension' of the Auld Crabbits I suppose, however, it is my understanding that The Drouthy Cronies have existed long prior to the XMTS formation of the Auld Crabbits. I'm looking forward to lively discussions indeed! Beannach'd libh,
I'm in! By no means an expert, but an enthusiastic student.
