a richt moofae - Press and Journal

Here's another article from the P&J about the research of the 'Buckie quine'. I have to say I find it really weird reading things like this. Partly it has to do with decisions about spelling that I wouldn't have gone for, but I think it's also just weird reading somebody writing a dialect that you're only used to in speech. Mind you, I always enjoyed reading Dod and Bunty's 'Far's the paper?' column. Does it still exist? Is it on the web at all. The closest I got to finding it was this article about things that make Aiberdeen special. It mentions in passing some of the most important things and people, including Dod, Bunty and Snuffy Ivy.

By the way, Jonathan tells me the P&J referred to Jennifer as 'Ms Smith' because they refuse to recognise non-medical doctors. Quaint, eh?
