Methinks that you have a barrister in the family, and probably not Rumpole of the Bailey…
Hey Donald,
After 100+ offenses one would think this smarts challenged dude would be doing some serious time by now.
Ah, oh yes, Rumpole. Chambers, the Old Bailey, Pomeroys, Claret ,cigar stubs and SWMBO. One of my faves.
Mark
Pomeroy’s Very Ordinary Claret. I have a hard time seeing “claret” in a fly’s name and not thinking of old Rumpole.
Ed
No doubt some poor old MacRumpole is try to think up kind of defense for this idiot.
He’ll be consuming malt whiskies in a bar in Perth.
Donald,
PERTH???
Your country STILL has a agreement to send your prisoners down under??
Doug
The standard of your geographical and historical knowledge is showing.
Perth is the county town of Perthshire in the centre of Scotland, any others are but poor relations.
My mistake! There would have been to much red tape anyway!
Doug
Donald, isn’t the Vale of Atholl in Perthshire. Something in my forestry past has me thinking of Golden Larch, a hybrid developed there for timber production. I think that it was a cross between a larch from North America (tamarack maybe?) and Japanese Larch?
At any rate, I suppose that I shall always associate the Vale of Atholl with Dougie Maclean. I have been lucky enough to hear him perform here in Nashville a couple of times.
But I have no idea if there is any decent fishing there.
I have a co-worker who lived in Glasgow (Scotland, not Kentucky) for 10 years and he loves Scotland. He goes back about every other year.
Personally I would like to wander around that part of the western borders that used to be called the Empty Lands, if they are still empty. I read somewhere that quite a few Brewers Spruce have been planted there in the last 2 or 3 deceads. A link between the Pacific NW of North America and Scotland. FAOL being another.
Ed
Yes it is, I believe Dougie MacLean lives in or near Dunkeld. A lot of visitors from
the Pacific North West get quite home sick when they see all the tall trees there,
or maybe it is the rain. :lol:
