    Ah, I'll let him off then

    I didn't realise such 'dynamics' existed, though I had picked up in one of your previous posts that there was 'something'.

    Back on topic, I probably have some photos of the Quirang and the Cuillin if you want that sort of thing, Nathan.

    You have a rich vocabulary @Orionson. I had to Google two words you used; "tetchy" and "stoochie". Although the meaning is basically revealed from the context in which you used them, I wanted to be sure I understood.

    For the benefit of other readers of this thread, "tetchy" means irritable and bad tempered. "Stoochie" is a Scots word (which, incidentally, has a very different meaning in the Urban Dictionary) meaning an uproar, a commotion, a fuss, a row or a brouhaha. Apparently stoochie can also be spelled stushie and is rendered in some Scots language resources as stashie and given such alternative spellings as steeshie and stishie.

    Back to photos ;)

    One of the many things I have learned here, Nathan, is never to ever underestimate the punctilious nature and Sherlockian powers of deduction of the dedicated quasi
    Rabelaisian denizens of XMarks.
