My grandfather received a letter addressed to

"Red Tom, The Long White House, Shetland Isles".



To be fair, first delivery was attempted to the cat.

But was he himself Red Tom? Your Grandfather?

Oh yes. He was called Thomas and had red  hair. He also lived in a long white house.

Given those facts, I would surmise that the moggy was a flame tip Persian given to sunning  itself in the front window. This would explain the initial mis-delivery.

It is also likely that it was Colonel Mustard, in the conservatory, with a candlestick.

I accuse Professor Plum, in the kitchen, with the gun.

That's the one - right hand side, lower house. It's about 100 yards long, and one room wide.

No flame tip Persian here.

I've crashed a car on a narrow mountain road, faced muggers with knives in their hands, been swept out to sea while swimming, and written my maths finals; today I was reminded what real fear is - the sound of the drill starting up in the dentist's hands.  :'(

It's said that a cleryman among the accused caused a knee-jerk reaction in the States.

Surely that is a "jerk reaction "?

Quite so but I am a conservative clergyman.

Fsn, I was in error, the catwiki reports that the flame tips have not extended their range north of Aberdeenshire. I Like the picture, a serious place committed to survival.

Very good, Bill.  ;D ;D

Took a second to reference that to Alexander's post !!

I'm NEVER going back to the dentist after Matey made such a complete hash of it last time.
I ended up using a pair of small bent nosed pliers to remove half of one tooth myself.

What makes it worse is that he was trying to remove a tonsil.

It wasn't actually that painful, Ian......It did bleed rather copiously, though.

The other half of the tooth is still in there......I'll leave that.

I reckon that WOULD hurt....LOTS, if I tried to remove it.

(And I'm leaving my tonsils where they are.)
