Dreaming still a dream that never changes... (c)
Ведь предупреждала же я, что нельзя меня в книжный пускать! В книжных у меня почти всегда начинается приступ шопоголизма.
На этот раз я ушла оттуда со скоттским словарём.

Ne'erday — (pronounced nayr-day) Ne'erday is New Year's Day: the Ne'erday television highlights.
my — Scots frequently uses my and other possessive pronouns in situations where English either omits them or uses a word like "some" instead: I'm away home for my tea; I got it for my Christmas; Away up the stair to your bed, you.
o — O means of: Three pun o tatties, please; Whit d'ye make o that?
sae — (pronounced say) Sae means so: It's no sae bad.
steen A steen is a Northern word for a stone.

Ну разве не чудо? ^.^
