Requirements: .ePUB Reader | 4.7Mb | Version: Retail
Overview: When Sir Harry Lauder left a concert on Deeside he was mystified that his jokes had not got the response received elsewhere. It perked him up when, from the spilling audience, he heard a voice say, ‘Fit a gran comic. It took me aa ma time nae ti lach.’ The humor of Scotland’s North-east is found at less celebrated levels too. There is the tale of the middle-aged couple who had courted each other for almost thirty years, but had never got round to marriage. One day Jock decided to voice his thoughts on the matter, for he was worried that people were speaking about their phenomenally long relationship. ‘Jean,’ Is it nae time the twao’s were thinkin’ aboot getting mairrit?’ ‘Behave yersel, Jock,’ said Jean. ‘Fa wid hae ony o’s noo?’
Norman Harper and Robbie Shepherd are back with a third collection of stories which show the wit and wisdom of North-east Scotland at their finest. Find out inside why the ice-skating scoring system at a Donside tournament went so badly wrong; read of the forgetful railway guard at Fyvie and how the old passenger on the Culter train was celebrating her birthday; marvel at one Buchan oilman’s tip for improving you love life on holiday.
