Ser Sean Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Worry not, Zak, as I mentioned earlier the hospital is literally a hundred metres away. You're covered. 100 metres is a long way when he has Ms Zak kicking his arse for trying to kill himself again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needle Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Has Mrs's Zak's speech ready prepared in event of said emergency... Wee, sleekit, cow'rin, tim'rous beastie, O, what a panic's in thy breastie! Thou need na start awa sae hasty, Wi' bickering brattle! I wad be laith to rin an' chase thee, Wi' murd'ring pattle! Oh, and we do dances like 'Strip the Willo' and 'The Gay Gordons' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vestrit Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Can we do Dashing White Sergeant? It's one of the few ceilidh dances I can actually do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needle Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Yes! I like that one too! Be warned though : the object of the dancin' needle-style is usually to see who can fling their partner hard enough to break things/them/the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BranTheBuilder Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 I'm quite happy to go toe-to-toe with sword and axe wielding manicas; or to jump into a mosh-pit at heavy metal concerts; or to fling myself down steep snowey slopes on skis; but you will NEVER get me dancing at a ceilidh, its just TOO DANGEROUS!

I nose-dived ms zak head-first directly into the floor at the last ceildh i was at. Cue stunned gasp of horror from the crowd and everyone dancing very carefully with me for the rest of the night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vestrit Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 As far as I can work out, the whole point of Strip the Willow is to nail as many bystanders as possible... Which seems of fit the needle dancing manifesto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zakalwe7 Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 It is a meta-physical struggle of the genders to outwit, out-manoevere and embarrass the other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zak, I appoint you MoC for finding out where a good burns supper with dancin' and stuff is to be held. this sounds like a plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mormont Posted December 19, 2005 Author Share Posted December 19, 2005 It'll be held in Zak's flat, of course. We'll move the table out of the kitchen and dance there. And all twenty six of us can use that minuscule feckin' toilet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Sneachd Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 There are scottish country dancers in the BwB? And there'll be a celidh and Burn's night? *is amazed* Any chance I might be allowed to come even though I'm just a stupid newbie? I'd try to bribe you with cookies and good whisky, but I suppose you have plenty of that yourself.. Please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mormont Posted December 19, 2005 Author Share Posted December 19, 2005 You'd be welcome at either event, morair! We love to meet new people. PM me if you want details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derfel Cadarn Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Sounds great, I'd love to attend. Not sure if I'll be able to make it, I'm meant to be working 25th to the morning of the 31st. If I can get the 27th and 28th off consider me in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenalpia Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 hate to interrupt the Haggis lovefest, but I've got a question for the folk going to the xmas bash... i'm thinking of preparing some form of food for the part and would be grateful if people could let me know about any dietary restrictions/allergies/vegitarianism etc cheers and now back to the haggis lovin'... Hadn't noticed this thread was active so apologies for going back a bit! I was thinking of bringing some of my granny's recipe home made Atholl brose (whiskey, oats, honey, cream) very potent but an acquired taste If anyone's got any allergies to these things let me know in advance before I try forcing it on you when in a drunken state telling you how its the best Scottish invention ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mormont Posted December 19, 2005 Author Share Posted December 19, 2005 You'd be welcome, Derf. PM me if you need any details. The party wouldn't be until the evening of the 27th, and the train from Glasgow is only a couple of hours, so it's really only the 28th you need off, if you can get away at a reasonable hour...

needle Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Actually, mormy, i'm thinking Sat the 28th might be better. If folks want to come from a bit further afied, at least they don't have to take an afternoon off work to do it. (just contemplating maybe actually really having a real job by then) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
