2. Wee Davie reckons he'll get £42.50 extra Marriage Allowance a week if he

stayed single?

Hi Eric,

Like your "puzzles". What do you call them. What's the name for that kind of thing? A proper english term to describe it.

You were asking about life after the Clavy. Just back to doing the research I used to do. Trying to get organised and get back into a routine as been busy sorting everything out - forms and interveiws etc. and my fortnightly signature........

Do you know how I get rid of that hideous video I have on my blogger? I thought it would be easy, but I slightly lost.

Help!
