Great fun, and you get to dance with lots of men in skirts, which has novelty value if nothing else. Besides which I have a thing about bagpipes. <BR/><BR/>The following hours are lost in a haze of drink, but I remember I had a good time.

That was before I learned a bit of Scots Gaelic - enough to say good morning/evening and kiss my arse anyway, but also enough to recognise the correct pronunciation. *sigh* <BR/>Hope it was fun and your other half wasn't sulking too much.Terri Nixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01128748951796407341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29957391.post-1152014150960139532006-07-04T12:55:00.000+01:002006-07-04T12:55:00.000+01:00In my final yesr at uni instead of our usual ball ...In my final yesr at uni instead of our usual ball we has a Ceilidh (I went to uni in Dundee) The problem with this was that a good 60% of the students attending were not scottish, so we came up with the injenious plan of learning some of the dances, we managed to persuade our 2 librarians to teach (they we're both in a scottish dancing group thinngy) Anyway I learnt to strip the willow, to be gay with gordon and the secrets of Hamilton House. I can't remeber how to dao any if the said dances now. In fact the only thing i remeber about that night is strip the willow isn't the best dance for a true scotsman to participate in.

It was quite possibly the most amusing wedding reception I've been too and very entertaining. <BR/>Fingers crossed for the kilts . . . there's something quite sexy about a man in a skirt . . . this kind anyway! Have a great day dude. I hope you enjoy yourself. As for the other half and the dancing issue, I sympathise as I went throught the same, I'm sure he'll get carried away in the moment, I know my other half did.Fraudulent Little Tarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13436037438025534216noreply@blogger.com
