These are the lyrics to the song Cumming's dad (if I heard right) composed as a birthday present for a 96-year-old friend's birthday present. Cumming said he wished he'd been there to see the look on her face.

Imagine it being crooned in a Scottish accent, with all the lusty bits being throatily slammed out, to a delighted 96-year-old woman.

There's an option to listen to it at the linked page as well.

Off to see NewsReveue and then Reginald D. Hunter in about 2 hours. Meeting up with coffee_lifeform at the former to sort out hanging-out plans.

Cash has run out. Running on credit. If I can't have it with credit, I can't have it. Will attempt to trade credit for cash by purchasing things for sevare at some point. For today it means doing only that which is within my sorely constricted means, which means free stuff, wandering, photographing and thinking about how much this new mindset is probably similiar to growing old. Can't do as much as you used to, be okay with slowing down, you've done you're bit, it's cool, enjoy what you have, nothing to prove, live in the moment, process all that's happened but keep on moving as best you can. Or something like that.

Useful fact: vegetarian haggis tastes the same as actual haggis.

Also, we have two haggis pizzas in the fridge.

we have two haggis pizzas in the fridge.

That's so wrong. Even more disgusting than the doner kebab pizzas that d_floorlandmine likes. And I love haggis.

I'm guessing you can't use your credit card like a cashcard to get money at cashpoints, then?

[patchworkkid.livejournal.com]

Not from cashpoints, not from tellers. I be boned. Best and only solution is to cover friends' expenses and then have them reimburse me. I'll be fine.

OK hun. Shout if you need a loan.

[patchworkkid.livejournal.com]

Outside chance I may need bus fare if it comes to that, but doesn't seem likely. Thanks though. :) I'm gonna miss you when I'm gone. Hopefully wont have to for too long, though.

[valkyriekaren.livejournal.com]

I'm sure I can stretch to bus fare!

I'm going to miss you too - it's been lovely having you pass through London every few weeks or so. But yes, hopefully not for long.

Is that a "no, can't possibly, I didn't set it up" or a "no, I mean I could get a cash advance but The Bank would reach back through time and start stealing my parents' first and second and third born"?

[patchworkkid.livejournal.com]

Former. I think. Not actually possible.

[greylock.livejournal.com]

Unless it's card specific, it is, but you have to set it up before you leave Oz.

But of course, if you don't have a positive cash balance in your account they'll slug you something horrible per transaction (my head says $50?).

Vegetarian haggis... I... no, please don't explain. :)

[greylock.livejournal.com]

No, no. Let me explain:

I'd make that.
Spookily.

Did you try Deep Fried Pizza yet?

Or is that just a Glasgae thing?

Because it's a total must, I'm sure.

Scottish accents

[severina-242.livejournal.com]

oh god.... gahhh.... I love them.

(I have been crooned to by a Scot. One of the greatest moments of my life)

Now I want to try haggis and sing "Flower of Scotland" with all the rude call backs....

Hey, you know that money I owe you?

It should hit your account on Thursday. ^___^

[patchworkkid.livejournal.com]

Oh NICE. Thanks man! That'll help enormously. :)
