I’ve noticed a lot since my return to the bonny land, that i seem to have lost my ability to speak! Indeed, i read back over some of my first posts on this very site, and i was far more full of interesting chat. I put this down to speaking to a lot of non-native English speakers for over a year and having to use more simple language.

To deal with this tradegy we’ve organised a monumental search for my banter. It begins tonight at 8pm in Rush Bar in the Grassmarket – we will search the bottom of every glass in every pub until we find what we’re looking for!
