[TR] Just want to be sure you guys all know the words tonight...

[Andrew Uprichard]

I spent 5 years at medical school in Edinburgh, Scotland, where New Year is
known as Hogmanay and people do daft things like "first footing" - knock on
the door of a stranger's house and offer him a piece of coal.  Tradition
dictates the owner will decline the coal, but instead offer you a drink of
Scotch - either neat or with a little water.

Also in Edinburgh there is an intersection of two streets - The Royal Mile
and the Bridges, where young women traditionally kiss police officers at
midnight.  I have never seen so many cops:  of course, many, like me, were
students who just happened to have police costumes......

Happy Hogmanay to all.  And, as the Irish say - slainte (cheers !)
