"Glar is very sticky mud."

What a great word--and useful to all us folks...

Do you glare at glar when you come upon it?

Anthony,

Do you HAVE to put gibberish up here on the forum?  At least you could run a spell checker through it!!!!!  ;D ;D ;D ::)

I can muddle through some of it, but my brain started to hurt (even more than usual) after just a short while!!  ::)

Philistine ::)

Here in the North East, glar turns into glaur... a much stickier version of dubs (mud) .... by the time you next visit Scotland, Carlo, you'll be fluent!

Anthony forgot to mention that, having had the misfortune to "skite in the glaur, you'll lickly feenish up tapsalteerie"

Skite? The only definition I can find for that one is "splash or splatter". In the case it would be the glar that's doing the skiting--although if glar is sticky and slimey it's not likely to skite.

From what I see of Australian soap operas ( which amounts only to the odd trailer for a programme...)
the two are synonymous, aren't they? ::) ;)

It's a gardening thing Maggi! Weather can’t satisfy gardeners! :)

Drivers want warm weather without snow.
Children want strong frosts to stay at home.
Greengrocers hate frosts.
Gardeners like moderate frosts with much snow.

What Got can do with this? :)
