  18. I always thought it was 'new shoes on a table'. I'm surprised that no one
  19. celebrated or even mentioned Hogmanay this year or the traditional haggis
  20. which I always thought was part of any Scottish feast - so particularly
  21. appropriate for this time of year.

  23. >ndh (and I certainly hope you throw spilled salt over your left shoulder!)
  24.  
  25. Not to mention 'crossed knives' and 'spilt sugar' - even throwing them over
  26. your shoulder doesn't help and only makes things worse.
