    Default Happy St Andrew's Day

    As it says on the tin.
    Some people are like Slinkies. They're really good for nothing. But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

    How come we don't make a big deel of it like the Irish do of Patrick's day?

    We should be having wild parties to celebrate and also see out November.

    Don't begrudge the Irish a bit of pleasure, they don't have much else do they.

    Aye I think the Christmas lad is a bit more important, but don't begrudge the bloke Andrew his day.

    Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.

    Aye, I'm always impressed when someone posts a red 'X' in a small square, if I was wearing a hat, I'd take it off.....but what does it mean? Is it a religious sign?

    [Edit] Whargh! Where did that big blue lion come from!

    Aye, Happy St Andrews Day to one and all. Maybe we should be having haggis, neeps and tatties and a wee dram on this fine night, and not just do so on Burns Night. I am toasting you all.

    Happy Saint Andrew's Day, everyone! I see Edinburgh's been having celebrations over the weekend, and the firework display at the Castle is due to start any minute now, at 7.00 PM!
    I am living for today, always remembering yesterday, and looking forward to tomorrow!

    Nah, I'm sat here with a bottle of el cheapo Tescos Chile red (£3.20 IIRC) and not bad it be too.

    I may have toast later.

    Not as much fun as actually being there, of course, but I watched the fireworks on Camvista, from a live webcam overlooking the Edinburgh Castle Esplanade. It looks as though the Castle is illuminated in blue light. Not sure if that is specifically for Saint Andrew's Day, or just the way it appears on my screen.

    There has been far too much American influence in my life. Every time I hear Edinburgh fireworks I think that they are having a shoot out somewhere in my neighbourhood.

    As for blue lights on the Castle - that is a fairly common thing.
