Not only am I new to writing, I'm new to reading this stuff too, so I have no favourite. I expect to be heavily influenced by the people I meet here though ... and if anyone wants to "influence" me ... feel free ...
But anyway, welcome to our new moderator - sounds like a high-ranking clergyman in the Church of Scotland - lol ... now that could be a story ...
Once upon a time, in a far-flung wind-swept island off the West coast of Scotland, the Minister of the Wee Free Kirk picked up the post left by Seamus, the island's part-time postman, and part-time shepherd and part-time fisherman too. The letter looked official, and the printed return address showed it came from the Moderator General himself. The Revd. Angus McNab opened the envelope hastily and learned that the Moderator would be visiting all of the Free Church kirks in the West of Scotland, on a good will trip, and he would be arriving in two months' time. Angus thought of the chains and the whipping frame he had installed in the spare bedroom of the Manse ... he would have to remove them somehow before the Moderator arrived ... Then he remembered - he had left Catriona tied to the frame - the poor girl would be exhausted, standing there all night ...
I'm off for a cold shower ...

Edit: Just noticed subdude became the mod. 2 years ago! duh me! Still - the welcome's still meant even if too late.
