On the contrary, keep reading. Beating the **** out of Adam
Whytte-Settlar has become an enjoyable and honourable tradition in
SCS, ever since he was run out of Scotland on a rail, leaving behind a
sorry trail of half-breed bastards to continue the sickening legacy of
unbroken links between the family and the local welfare system, dating
back to the days of The Ragman Roll and the Begger's Symphony...

<sorry, I was carried away with the sheer rightness of it all... I
really quite like A.W-S - well , not enough to let him anywhere near
my female children or eat off the decent crockery, but if I saw him
begging on the streets of Vancouver, I would ask the chauffeur to slow
down for a moment while I pushed a dollar bill through the barely
cracked-open window - it's quite chilly here at this time of year -
but you can also never be too careful about catching other people's
diseases, especially those who have spent the last few years living in
a Maori settlement on stilts in the mudflats of the Bay of Plenty; New
Zealand's answer to Es***...>
