A big yin translated is a big one. Getiing you intae a wee bit o the lingo ken whit a mean liksay

Yikes I'm going to have to learn Scottish for my visit as I got a bit lost at the end of the sentence
A thought that a big yin was something like a yam to go into a recipe with plum tomatoes It will be an educational weekend for me - I did Esperanto at school for a term so I'm hoping that will help

At least you have a better idea than me jojojoanne - I thought it was something edible.

I hope that all you poorly people are starting to feel better but please take it easy and give your bodies chance to recover.

Menu of the day:
Yoghurt with granola and strawberries (250 calories)
2 small beef salad multi-seed rolls followed by a weight watchers fromage frais (300 calories)
Tandoori chicken made with yoghurt and steamed chicken with salad and wholegrain rice plus raita made with the yoghurt and cucumber (500 calories) Weight watchers chocolate eclair (82 calories)
5 days to go and then I can have crunchy food again I really want an apple or some granary bread.

Aye he is but it can be applied to anything big, well done Jojojoanne for knowing your Scots .

Diane, i'm looking forward to teaching you a few key phrases, the end bit of above means:

Know what i mean, like....not exactly grammattical but thats the fun bit.....Can't imagine ever saying so politely
Glad to find something i can corrupt you with .

My menu today is:

@ havingascreen

I love Billy Connolly. I like his humour but I also like the programmes he has made on the tele, where he tours on his MASSIVE bike!!

I love 'Still Game', a comedy programme from Scotland, with Jack and Victor!!

Don't worry Diane - havingascreen doesn't talk like that nor do any other Edinburgh fmukers that you are likely to meet up with when you come up in December . She is only pulling your leg so you will understand us very easily. Aylthonian is the posh one - she's a lawyer!

Hi everyone :)

One of my classes are learning about Scotland, Ireland & Wales next week, so I thought I'd teach them that lovely Julie Fowlis song from the "Brave" soundtrack :) lots of lovely Scottish instruments / music on that soundtrack.

Had an awful day on Tuesday (was off work & spent most of the day in bed), but had a good day yesterday & even managed a slow swim at the gym! & feeling good again today, am catching up on housework (boring but satisfying to get done!!). Have a good day all

I would just be polite and smile. I should be able to understand posh though Esperanto was some made up language supposed to be the universal language http://www.omniglot.com/writing/esperanto.htm What is it? Exactly (what a load of rubbish)!!

Just noticed this I love garlic sausage, rocket and sweet chilli sauce or pate thinly sliced with cucumber or bananas thinly sliced on granary bread. I find the low calorie bread doesn't fill me up I would rather have 2 slices of a substantial loaf about 300-350 calories for a large sandwich otherwise I need loads of the little ones to fill me up.

Menu of the day:
Fruit and fibre (350 calories)
Cup a soup and 2 small rolls and I'm going to try an apple with the dodgy tooth (300 calories)
Out for dinner tonight http://www.bredburyhallhotel.com/PDF/Br ... _TDH_1.pdf or http://www.bredburyhallhotel.com/PDF/Br ... _TDH_2.pdf not sure which menu is on tonight one of the girls is leaving at work. I won't be dancing the night away as I need to be at Lancaster at 10am tomorrow for another University open day. Edit for any Mancunians - I know its a pick up joint (even I've been chatted up there that's how bad it is) but its a funny night out!!

Another rest day as won't have time after work and before I get myself done up for tonight
