I'm sure there's one lurker here that will be enjoying haggis, neeps
and tatties tonight, rounded off with a few drams of whisky whilst
accompanying the pipes with Auld Lang Syne.
I'll not name drop, even though there's little chance of her seeing
this post. :-)

'powers that be' did say from the beginning that UPS wouldn't last or
even get off the ground. So I reckon we've had a good run for our money.

very little activity. Sadly, most groups have gone the same way,
though uk.rec.sheds is still holding up reasonably well.

Pleased you enjoyed that, Smokey, it was actually yourself that I had
in mind.
We did call in for a meal during Burns Week and the menu included
that, but as we're both dedicated Sassenach, we decided to give it a
miss. :-)

No idea what has happened to the Rabbit, Smokey. A few years ago she
was having problems with her vision and soon dropped out of UPS and the
other group she frequented. We used to swop X-mas and Birthday cards,
but those stopped arriving too. I've tried texting and 'phoning her but
no joy there. :(
