All he needed to do now was to find his wife with her copious bag which housed his top hat and tails.

Now, with New Year fast approaching would it be a kangaroo tail?

Life was tough down under

Allan had better get himself properly attired or he wouldn't be ready with his Highland Fling to welcome in the new year.

:-D :-D

Remembering the MacGyver in him, Allan decided that the rabbits that he wore on his head (because from a distance they looked like hares) would make an adequate substitute for a sporran if moved to a more strategic position.

He just wasn't sure about the carrot.

.. of course a sporran is a little bag to keep some essentials in...... who doe Allan know that has a bag........

:-D :-D :-D

But what is a kilt without a sporran....Allan needed to find one asap.....

Neither was Allan, who'd just washed his kilt and couldn't do a fling with it

Yes folks, the old ones are still good, and Allan has shown his true age despite his Peter Pan mind :-D :-D

Allans OH was thrilled to find she had a little pick in the bottom of her capacious bag. So off she went looking for her Christmas baubles - diamonds, emeralds, rubies - she wasn’t fussy.

That said Allan wrapped himself in his kilt which was almost as massive as his OH copious bag...a bag so copious and yet no baubles in it.

Poor Genesland inhabitants, being censured for merely following Oliver Cromwell's stricture to 'Remove this bauble'

Being as tight as a duck's backside, Allan wasn't going to 'spend' Christmas anywhere. It would take a serious surgical procedure to remove any money from his person.

In fact Allan was going to hibernate exactly where he was, even though he no longer knew exactly where he was :-S

But who to ask as we've been informed no one cares about us here in Genesland.....

If only Allan could get the internet going then he,d be able to ask if he could have some that aren’t,t being used this year ;-)

What Christmas somewhere else with Hogmanay on the horizon are you crazy :-) :-)

Allan decided to try and use his two cents to improve his situation....which makes no sense but who are we to judge...so he decided to buy a bauble to cheer himself up....but where would one be so cheaply???

Allan, having been distracted by round shiny things ( not the round shiny things his OH prefers ) is Allan planning on having Christmas here or will he continue trying to get home for Christmas?

Stupidity has its own rewards, and Allan felt well rewarded with his two cents.

Now he had cash, and a bit of plastic in his back pocket, the world was at his feet.

Mind you, the plastic was the remains of a recyclable bag that he had forgotten about.

In Allan's case, stupidity knows no bounds.

Canny Scot or not, Allan was beaming as he'd just discovered he had an unexpected 2 cents...

...Now how could he grow this into a bigger amount ?

So that he could once again utter that old joke about the Scotsman who, when asked what was worn under his kilt replied, 'Nothing, it's all in perfect working order'

Or the even older joke about the Scotsman who washed his kilt and couldn't do a fling with it.

Then again he had always liked tartan dresses rather than them wearing shorts, but we are not going down that path!

why was he wearing a kilt again??? :-D

He managed to catch two of the rabbits which had been nesting on top of his head.

Many people had asked him about this, and as Allan explained, from a distance they looked like hares.

In fact this whole thing of abseiling down the Blackpool Tower, like breeding leverets, was a hare raising experience.

If he could conquer his fear of heights and learn how to sail an ab correctly he might even go to Paris one day and give them a right eyeful.

.... as he let go with one hand in the hope he could catch his hair as it blew past.
