  1. Ohn, amazingly good, especially toda the 11/11

    I like to scroll so I can only see the Scottish versions and try and figure them out before I scroll down to the English versions. This one had me totally completely flummoxed. I had to cheat!
    Best of bardic,

  2. I've seen the words -picket wire-
    before, in a "Western" novel, I believe; pikit weer, then, the plausible source.

    Nice one, John! _m

  3. I love this. It shows me a lot...the use of barbed wire says it all: the oppression, the killing, the hunger in their eyes...whilst he stays in his castle dousing himself in wine...
