The incident occured last weekend, at about half three, two seperate couples walked into the shop, one couple went to look at the books, the other couple looked at the CD's, then the gentleman asked if we had a cd of Rabbie Burns reciting his own poetry, to which I replied that unfortunately Rabbie died long before sound recording equipment had been invented, the couple by the books sniggered and as the English couple where leaving I said if they where to see Rabbie on their travels could they send him to see me.

Moral of the story, you never know who is listening

It's good to see you around, I 'm thinking that it's been a while.

This reminds me of one of my more favorite internet laughs, which I will share with you...

Reminds me of that scene in Four Wedding and a Funeral when Gareth (the one soon to become the Funeral) promises some American ladies in his best Morningside accent, that he can put them in touch with Oscar Wilde!

That's exactly the thing that came to my mind when I read this...didn't he tell the woman that he'd give her oscar Wilde's fax number?
