Colonists

[orkneycadian]

Where did Dozy's thread go? I was going to ask him what we should do about all the pesky colonists who have arrived on our Orkney and Shetland shores since 1468, bringing their alien ways with them - The surnames starting with Mac and Mc, the trend for men getting married in checked skirts, whilst another guy in a checked skirt performs a lewd act on an octopus, their attempts to get us to help them seek independence for their motherland, their attempts to displace our native language, "Old Norn", with something called "Scots" which seems to just be English spoken in a Glaswegian accent.

We have been well and truly colonised here by what I would guess Dozy would call "colonists masquerading as seperatists"

Was Dozy embarrassed with the direction the thread was going, and deleted it to save face?

Sorry ,been told not to talk to terrorists or law breakers. So I can't talk to Tories or their radicalized supporters.

Hopefully then, you'll still be able to find a 'non Tory English tutor' to help with your punctuation and spelling.

Don't be put off by them being an English tutor - They may well be Scottish.

It's not me that's stocking up on shotgun cartridges .

As a colonist ,what's your definition of the word ' colony' .

A double gin, a dash of pink grapefruit juice and a drop of Luxardo.

You sound like you have the recipe a bit wrong however and have been putting far too much gin in it. Go easy on it and drink more grapefruit juice. Then we might be better placed to understand what it is you are saying.
