"To our right the high wall of a double-decker airline coach formed a cliff of faces. The passengers at the window resembled rows of the dead looking down at us from the galleries of a columbarium. The enormous energy of the twentieth century, enough to drive the planet into a new orbit around a happier star, was being expended to maintain this immense motionless pause."
- from 'Crash' by J.G. Ballard (1973)

A Gamekeeper shouts, "Dinnae drink tha waater! Et's fu' ae coo's shite an pish!"

The man replies, "My Good fellow, I'm from England . Could you repeat
that in English for me."

The keeper replies, "I said, use two hands - you'll spill less that way!!!"

11:30 pm - Two Quotes of Edwin Muir
I. "Although Edinburgh is Scottish in itself, one cannot feel that the people who live in it are Scottish in any radical sense, or have any essential connection with it. They do not even go with it; they look like visitors who have stayed there for a long time. One imagines that no very long ago the real population must have been driven out, and that the people one sees walking about came to stay in the town simply because the houses happened to be empty."

II. "This short digression is necessary for any understanding of the present state of Scottish life, particularly in the towns. It is an unsatisfied, yearning, morbidly expectant life. And in Edinburgh, where the past is so strong, and the memory of Scottish history is perpetually reminding you, if you are a Scotsman, that this once was a capital, the half-meaninglessness of Scottish life overwhelms you more strongly than anywhere else. The Scots have always been an unhappy people; their history is a varying record of heroism, treachery, persistent bloodshed, perpetual feuds, and long-winded and sanguine arguments ending in such ludicrous sackends as Bothwell Brig."
