    Contrary to what you might think, the thread title is not a series of unrelated words put together by a substandard AI. It is an actual description of an actual thing.

    Scottish tennis star Andy Murray and his wife have just had their second baby.

    The butcher in Murray's home town of Dunblane - a shop where I once bought a pie! - has made the news in Australia with his tribute to the baby.

    This Scottish butcher's tribute to Andy Murray's baby cannot be unseen

    [​IMG]

    It is a model of a baby, with sausages for arms, lorne sausage (a flat scottish sausage patty) for a face, and I think bits of black pudding (Scottish coagulated pig's blood) for eyes.

    In @tochatihu's Leika thread, I said that Minsk World in Shenzhen was the best thing in the world ever. I take that back. This is the best thing in the world ever.

    Laika, if you please. Good dog.

    All AI are substandard, until we are allowed to know otherwise.

    Mr. Murray is a very talented and hard-working tennis player and I do very much hope his legacy exceeds this... moment.

    Indeed. Sorry. Cyrilic-roman transcription error.

    Mr Murray (according to the BBC and other British media, either the "British winner" or "defeated Scot" depending on the outcome of each game) is indeed very talented. But is he as talented as the butcher? I think that is open to question.

    I've often said that Scotland is an underappreciated culinary treasure!
    The Scottish eggs alone are worth a trans-Atlantic flight in the cattle-car section of a wide-body aircraft.
    The fact that four of my submarine patrols originated from Scotland and I somehow have never enjoyed a deep-fried Mars bar pierces my conscience to this day every time that I think about it.

    However (comma!) Scotland is not without it's faults, and their 'pudding' and the fact that their 'official animal' IS imaginary and IS NOT Nessie serves as two examples....

    No, I think it was just him.

    Over the weekend, my parents told me that they know him. He's very pleased that he made the Australian news.

    All this but an effort to distract from Ferry McFerryface.

    I suspect that I may be getting Ferry McFerryface to a meeting later this week.

    Honestly, it could be worse. We also have a ferry called Dawn Fraser, and it's named after someone* who is really quite horrible.


    *Dawn Fraser, surprisingly.
