New Author - Hotscot

Latest News! We are checking library surveillance footage and have found something most incriminating... Photographic evidence will be posted shortly.

Oh Hotscot, what a den of iniquity you have fallen in to, I bet you had no idea the LSF is full of rogues and vagabonds, not to mention the snoring, inebriated members under the reference desks.

I admit that I may unwittingly have enjoyed a tiny glass of whisky not meant for me, but to my defense I would like to point out that:
(i) It wasn't me that broke open the cupboard
(ii) It was a Lagavulin 37 year old that I had never tasted before
(iii) If I hadn't drunk it, it would have been drunk by an American who first filled up his glass with chlorine tasting ice cubes.

Wow, you're right. For a moment, I thought I'd been elected to parliament (congress for us on the left side of the pond)

Not sure about the missing spirituous liquors, but the library certainly appears to retain a superb. and thankfully apparently unlimited, stock of distilled humour (double distilled?) for which I am most grateful.
Long may that continue. Best regards all and, reverting to the theme of the post, very well done Hopscot; two fine stories to date, great to have you aboard.

@flopsybunny
"Rogues and vagabounds," flopsy? I resemble that remark!

May I say that I resemble that remark as well. I also resemble my good friend who once told me, "We don't have a choice about growing old, but we do about growing up, and I have decided I will not grow up."

This particular gentleman is 12 years older than I am.

A toast to "Rogues and vagabonds," and to immature old men, may we live long and happy, if immature lives.

Thanks Steven,
I'll drink to that!
