seriously though, what does havering mean ? i've heard it in a song, but even the context was not very helpful.

"Haver" is the sound the Hoover vacuum cleaner makes when you accidentally suck up an item of underclothing.

i'm suspecting there's actually a sixth *secret* meaning which only true scots know.)

I believe you've struck the truth at the core of the Scottish language - it
all has a sixth secret meaning which only true Scots know.

Unfortunately, between MR, shums, your apparentl disinclination for sleep, and work, no-one has ever seen you actually
perform your duties. We actively encourage you to do so, or, at least, we will once we get back from vacation.

[QUOTE=LazyScot;226609]Wow. I am deeply honoured. And I will fulfill my ministerial roles to the best of my abilities -- i.e. I will endevour to be the first out, and take as many of you as possible.

Nevermind, neko. It's an appropriate designation for LazyScot, since the President has
also given him the portfolio of Undersecretary of Futility, thus, once and for all, confirming what we've been saying all along:
Attempted Escape is Futile!

Oh, dear. I've got to ordain too? Oh, dear, oh dear. Priests and Priestesses, holy threads, icons, official transport vehicles for the Sacred Army, ordination rituals, a pantheon to invent, err, I mean, to receive the Word from...why, this is much more complicated than initially volunteered for. Still, I'm sure being a Religious Leader isn't
all bad. There's probably some perks I haven't though of.

i'm thinking it might be a good idea to give him the Q portfolio as well, though, now that you mention it. i'll let him know.

Excellent. I've always wanted to be called "Q" (the only letter of the well-known 26 that can't be pronounced independently). I wonder if this will help me fit-out my Intergalactically crusading Church? [insert evil...I mean, holy and sanctified, laugh]

I thought Patricia was "Vice President", you, to keep the bastards (by which I mean "pshrynk") honest (or at least in a position of plausible deniability). After all, to avoid pressassination he has to live up to a standard that ensures people don't think that getting him out of the way automatically makes the role fall to someone likely far more suitable and likeable in the role.
Still, I'm High Gibbonate, and the separation of Church and State is of supreme importance (so my gods tell me). So, I'll just stay out of it, and keep up with encouraging further conversions (ahh, "electrodes" - they help bring so many nearer to the gods).
Cheers,
Marc
