Normally, I'd be miffed and maybe a bit steamed if someone wanted my "lum" to "reek." Sounds like a curse or an insult!

But knowing old Kerrowdown -- a fine Scootish gentlemen, photographer of the first order, and Pentaxian extraordinaire -- I wish to return his New Year's Greeting with a wish to him and all of PF that all "yer ISOs be low, yer 'ladies' have snappy apertures, and yer whites be balanced!"

Thank you for kind words... trust you won't mind if I don't mention within earshot of the Harem about their "snappy apertures", as I fear the resultant response could become quite bloody very rapidly.

Happy New Year, may the wind be at your back....oh, wait that's Irish, oh well tuck into the haggis!

Happy New Year from me too!

I found "Lang may yer lum reek" way less confusing than "HNY" as I didn't try to interpret anything into the former, but the latter left me wondering why everyone is calling others "honey".. I forget it every year!

I don't think you realise just how precarious life has become within the Harem... apparently it's a very competitive place.

Gibberish you say...

Some big lads, who are founder members of the DFW Texas/Ventura Caledonian Society... are on their way round to drag you out and enlighten you further on the traditional Highland ways.

You'd better as a precaution be prepared to write off tomorrow.

You and yours have a great 2021.

That'll be a first... I'll just dash out now and buy bigger SSD drives for archival, based on your premonition.
