Hats are old hat. What you really need is a papal ombrellino to keep the snow off! Then you could wear a wooly hat under it which no one would notice because they’d all be so impressed by what you were carrying. Or maybe what the server was carrying for you.

Don’t think for a moment, Lay Clerk, that I have not used such a liturgical essential whilst worshipping the Lord in Scotland.

I do like the biretta when traveling…will be wearing one this weekend in the St. Patrick’s day parade. Just a thought, maybe you should change the name of the site to “What’s on Kelvin’s Head.” Just a thought.

Headlines
I can forgive the Scottish Sun quite a lot for headlines like the one they are using today – You Can be Sure of Chelle. This, of course is next to a picture of Michelle McManus, whom they think will win Pop Idol.

di-dah-dah-di-dah-dit
A new morse code abbreviation has just been announced – in case you need to know, the @ symbol was lacking a morse abbreviation, and of course it is being used much more often these days for e-mail addresses. If you need to know, the new abbreviation is di-dah-dah-di-dah-dit which is the letters A and…
