...and a couple of Australian coins flipped in the hat by a passing wallaby...

!!!!!!!!!!!!Disguised as a midge

In a red shirt??

saw something on telly recently with david bellamy. seems bats eat midges. perhaps if the tourist board could introduce some bats into the area, they'd be able to pack more spectators into your area.

congrats on the success of the collection too btw ;-)

Are you sure it wasn't an Australian Wannabe in a white coat getting rid of the dud coins he picked up in his change from the collection tray at St Mary's in Port St Mary?

look at the size of the midges here <A HREF="http://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/usfeatures/midges/">http://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/usfeatures/midges/</A>

Och, aye, laddie. In other places they have midgets...oor midgies are formidable craiturs that leave teethmarks in your bahookey!
Especially in that particularly gorgeous place..Ard Nam Murchan.
