I have been celebrating the transition from 1997 to 1998 from 12 p.m. GMT till now (after 12pm local time) So, being absolutely sober and steadfast, as native Scots always are at this important transition time, I wish to wish my community of ...(fill in the blank)... a Guid New Year, and mony o' them -- lang may yer lum reek (wi' ither peoples' coal); here's tae us, wha's like us, damn't few an' they're a' deid ... Wishing you all a wonderful, green, democratic, work-filled 1998, Sincerely and soberly, Colin Stark
