No water in a Scottish reservoir? With all your rain? Wtf! You know what's going to happen next don't you? National Irn Bru shortage and a new bouquet to the local distillery's finest products!
Anyway, enough of Scottish stereotyping and onto educational advice.
Teaching phonics , so many swear words fall into very basic level phonics we initially teach youngsters.
i + t is one of the very first we teach, then 'sh' ... sh + it = shit.
f + u (umbrella) + ck = fuck...
Hate to tell you this but Thai kids can express dismay and surprise in English better than your own native speaking son. Step up your game man before he gets too much further behind!
So what was the reason for the lack of water?
I still have no idea why the damn thing was empty. Its not as if we are suffering from ablistering drought. I am meant to be oiling my decking and cant get 48 hours without rain for the stuff to dry.
Maybe a sinkhole has opened up and some kind of alternate dimension monster is going to rise up out of it and kill us all, hehe.
Maybe we should fill it with Irn Bru!!
I would love to step up my game with the wee man but the Good Lady forbids it. She has me talking like a posho around him all the time so he doesn't learn any of my guttersnipe stuff! :OD
You sooooo need to use that as a metaphor in your next post lol!!
I have a cunning plan, I'll send him some Thai swear words to teach him to even the game up! The words 'banana' and cock are merely a tone apart in Thai. Gluay...flat tone =banana. Gluay...rising tone at the end = cock....or it could be the other way around....hence another reason I never use this damned language in public. Causes far too many problems!
Hahaha, totally!! You don't want to get caught asking for a banana with a raised inflection at the end!! Lol!!!
That's a fine idea for a metaphor. I think I shall!!
The more serious suggestion though is Lochwinnoch RSPB and country park. He will see loads of birds there and I am sure there will be water, usually also cascading across the road as you enter Lochwinnoch itself. I've had a couple of nice visits there as its also the home of the wife's sister and her husband who is a Lochwinnoch native.
Really!! That's awesome, we are actually planning a trip that way because we found out the RSPB has a bird reserve thing going on there. We recently joined them because the kids are animal daft and they have quite a few places in Scotland that are quite near which look like a good trip. Lochwinnoch was one of them. I don't think it is too far from me car wise either!!
