Left the red port is my mnemonic LL.

Been researching oxter. Think it is from the land celebrating their saint's day today. Wi yir heid under yir oxter (with your head under your armpit). It means downcast or depressed.

I wonder how it's pronounced. Any Scots around to advise? I imagine it's "oxtae".

I bought some for my wife, she rarely uses the but they do look good when in.

I might grow my hair and use them myself. Get my moneys worth and all that.

Nice to have you with us Jonsey Boy!

Think you should grow your hair and give these babies a try.

Any news on your peafowl?

Ha ha no it's long gone, either the pikeys that nicked her were hungry or were into breeding large birds.
