Of course he is. Anyway, a lot of us are quite uncultured and faced with too many ifs and buts to formulate a coherent response. Speaking for myself, of course. We are what we are, share a common history, but also have a different history. Let's get on with life and each other.

Anyway, I thought he looked a wee bit like Willie Tamson, Jock's sleekit wee brither.

There are several theories, ranging from God to the male member to a minister of the church to a bunch of criminals . . .
