Re: How smart are you?
Just didn't want to say so, eh? 
What's the problem? Haven't seen them for years, but used to get the books as a bairn every Christmas.
I wonder if PC Murdoch has a Kevlar anti-stab vest now? Wullie's probably got a few ASBOs, and half the Broons bairns have probably been taken into care for having to sleep eight to a room. Paw's job at the shipyard has probably long gone, so maybe Daphne and Maggie are turning tricks to keep the family in mince and tatties.

Well my dad told it to me when I was a kiddie! You can tell what sort of upbringing I had!
And sorry Biiink .... that's what happens when I come in at page 4 of a thread!

Re: How smart are you?
Incidentally, I don't believe good use of grammar and correct spelling is a sign of being smart (necessarily), nor being poor at it a sign of being Tim-nice-but-dim!
It's just a mindset really!
