I know Marc'll find it anyway, but I'm constitutionally lazy!

For a' that an' a' that,
It's comin' yet for a' that,
That man tae man, the worrld o'er
Shall brithers be, for a' that.

I'm pretty sure this is more than you want, but read on..... [message #31448 is a reply to message #31447]

I knew you would have good advice for Josh, better than I can do. Oh and you need to lay off the Malt.

.... if this is the most powerful notion on Earth, and I don't believe in God, what's the point in hanging around?

For a' that an' a' that,

I really agree 100% with that response to this whole thing by the columnist in one of the links posted below..........Paul Prather I think he was.

I find little to argue about with Paul on this and I wonder if anyone on this while board would agree with that.

My grandmother used to have this saying she used when commenting on some way people would be derisive on issues: "It is like the kettle calling the pot black".
