    You saying they would not be happy to be released in Aberdeen?

    You know, I expect that they would be happy there. I understand every other person on Union Street is a quine.

    I had to look up the meaning of quine and still don't understand the comment. Did you mean queen? Surely not?

    I'd assumed you meant that no one dares open a window in Aberdeen, either because of the weather or the locals ... which, I should hasten to add, is not my experience of the town at all (though the traffic is a nightmare).

    Quine is an Aberdeen expression and means "girl" in all of its connotations .

    Aye, there's quinies all o'er the place up there. FS, in case you ever visit GG to learn *proper* bee transportation (all that extra air flow underneath does them good, you know!) you'd best learn some Doric:

    I have a cousin into geneology who has done the family tree back to 1660 or something like that and apparently the Gettys were originally from Aberdeen.
    Transported over to Antrim in the 17th Century atop a well ventilated mesh floor no doubt.
    Quite a few Ramsays in residence as well.

    And the other, of the "every other person", is a loon!
