(spelling, I am English ? )

Drumroamin in Galloway,

Again thanks to everyone for the welcome.

Ah - So you speak the Queens English. Good to hear that

Galloway is nice and one of my favourite (Proper spelling) forests is Ae forest in Galloway.

Just so you know Ae comes from old Norse meaning water - river. Not many people know this.

Just a question now. Is your location Nwecastle or is that derived from new Norse

I am, somewhat unwillingly being, made to recall George Galloway and his one man show on TalkSport radio. I am not at all in to UK politics and I have no strong feelings towards the man. But I immensely enjoyed his many musings and his not so infrequent ravings. To this day, I really don't know why I enjoyed listening to him so much. I guess it may have something to do with his accent - I am a sucker for a Scottish accent. There is something about the way an articulate Scott speaks that leaves me helplessly captivated.

Being a fairly old sod and lousy speller, I spend some time trying to correct my own posts. I took a long hard look at spelling some years ago when writing academic papers. As they would be reviewed all over the world and written using TEX I was constantly trying to standardise my use of the English language. I still made mistakes between the American and English written spellings

. I actually really don't care as long as it is readable and understood. I hit the wrong keys so many times and then miss many mistakes even after checking. Oh well life I suppose.

I live at the end of the Great North Run. So I will leave that for you to work out ?

One last point I may try writing in the Queens English, but certainly do not speak it, one thing you learn very quickly when listening to your own voice once recorded !!
