Why won't it let me sign in as ME ! Torquil, any feedback yet from the producers of The Islands Got Talent yet..filming is bound to start soon.

Cyril, I've disabled the comment moderation for you. See if that allows you to post as ME now. I hope Big Maggie Ann doesn't post her swears again, though.
We've had a bit of a competition here between The Y-Front Factor and The Island's Got Talent. Regardless of who gets the contract, auditions start after the New Year. Want to be on the judging panel?

Oh Bless You !
Very bad times, these new xray scanners at the airport are very embarrassing - I went through one yesterday and they told me I had better sort out my hiatus hernia.
Yes please do put me on the judging panel if Dierdre from Ardbroath isn't playing.

Ruby Hazelnut, from the dancing-by-numbers group, had terrible problems with the xray scanner on Benbecula. She put her right leg in and took it out again, in and out, and then shook it all about. According to her dancing-by-numbers routine, and quite correctly, she repeated the process with her left leg, right arm and left arm, before putting her whole self through the machine, by which time she missed her flight.

I think Deirdre does plan to audition. Any ideas on a way round this? We really need your input.

Hello Torquil my friend,
my paintings and I were just wondering whether perchance Jeans' best customer for the sachets of sheep dip might be a local mechanic. Were she to make sure that said mechanic knows there's 10% off we are confident that her overstock will no longer be of issue.
regards,
Fiona and her paintings.

Hello there Fiona and her paintings, I'll give Wullie a bell and tell him about the Jock Itch powder. However, I keep telling him not to share his underpants with Fat Boy the cat, at least not until Fat Boy gets a flee collar. Handbag-size dogs with fashion clothes and accessories is one thing but Fat Boy needs to get over himself with this greasy underpant phase that he's on.
I trust your paintings had a colourful New Year?

Cyril Nosecone said...

Let Dierdre audition. I'll judge and I'll pretend I don't know her, she'll understand..as long as she wins, if not I'll have to pitch my idea, When Good Tractors Go Bad..

Torquil Mor said...

Cyril, I have a choice of two disguises at hand, if you want one. a) the back end of a pantomime camel. b) the front end of a pantomime camel.

Cyril Nosecone M.E. said...

Let me know who will be in front if I take the back. Then we'll seal the deal, all depends on the view.

Splendid Torquil, that's a lucrative start to the new year for Jean then!
We fear said gentlemans ailments cannot be blamed on the cat on this occasion as the weather has been a tad inclemmant rendering said pussy a little less sociable than usual.

PS. We had a whitish New Year which one assumes covers the spectrum.

Now hold the bus here folks.....Whats all this about Jock Itch....I'll have you know that Fat Boy the garage cat is totally flea free and is welcome tae sleep on ma underpants anytime he see's fit. Any itchyness is down tae corrosion due tae lack o' use.....This is smethin' I can remedy.....Watch out ladies....Spanners is on the razz.....
