Two fellas walked into a bar, you’d think wan oa them would hae seen it.

I went into pub last night and saw two owls playing pool, one of the owls accidently nudged the white ball wi his wing, so he says, “two hits.”

An the other owl turned round and says, “two hits to who!”

Dinnae ken whit tae say! Like just now, it may seem that I got plenty to say as always, but the timescale between the word now and the word it was 15 hours!!!

I type sumfin, then erase it! Type and erase! Type and erase!

Maybe its jet lag cause ah um just back frae visiting ma wee maw in Bo’ness! She says to say hi to everyone by the way.

Well last month saw oor September meeting after a wee summer break, an it was great to see everyone there, and I thoroughly enjoyed havin a chance to hae a chat an hear whit everyone’s been up to.

This month will see the battle fur the ‘Parky Brain oa the Borders’ trophy, if we can find it that is, as it has gone AWOL again, I really should get it insured, as it would cost a mint if we had to replace it!!
