Laura007 Posted August 30, 2006 Author Share Posted August 30, 2006 if i had had a couple more i may have said it like that, but i was grinning far too much to even try a scottish accent. the worst of it was, the waitress didnt even smirk. i think she had had a humour bypass.

Laura007 Posted August 30, 2006 Author Share Posted August 30, 2006 i know she had probably heard it numerous times before, but it was the first time i had said it, so obviously i thought it was hilarious. i think she got revenge though by putting 2 olives in it. errggghhhh. no doubt i shall be saying it again in other places. paul is groaning already at the thought.
