Ohhh. You would love my mate Andy (or Ondy as he pronounces it:P) He's from Aberdeenshire and speaks a kind of mix of English and Doric (a dialect which I am assured is actually a language in its own right ) When he's around English people he softens it a little so that we can understand him, but I love it when he goes off on one and vents a bunch of Doric. Its a fantastic dialect.

For instance, he refers to his girlfriend as his Quine,(pronounced Kwine, as in She's ma kwine) which I assume comes from queen.

He lives on a Croft, writes music and songs, is an artist and a local Councillor (SNP naturally) and rides about the place on a series of very wonderful bikes and choppers. One enduring image is of him on a bright pink Harley, which he did up for a female friend.
