Hello Francis
I think, bonny lad, you need to see a bit of Armstrong and Miller!
And here's me thinking I was being cool and modern.
I have to say, however, I did think there was a tinge of poisoning the
wells in some of your postings.
As for members of the committee - I don
Thanks for this, Francis - it's interesting.
I think there's internal evidence to date the programme fairly
specifically. The commentator says that the new bagpipe museum at The
Chantry opened "last year". If The Chantry museum celebrated its 21st

Please may I suggest that whatever form the Great Reformed NPS takes, it

I found that a really good listen. Why can't we have stuff like this on the

Hello Anthony,
I'm not sure I've really tried 'harsh' . . .
'Robust' might do quite well. I'd add 'fair'. We'll probably not agree
on that one.

Anyone could be forgiven for thinking I'd been going around saying

I don't use oil. I like it dry; no seeping of moisture where it can travel
down the bore and spread it's oily film of corruption and interfere with
