A Mistake

I nearly killed him once.
He’s a mouthy wee nyaff, but I let him off with a good skelp in the gub.
Now he’s been rude to my mum.
It’s time to rectify that mistake.

About ceayr

A Scot who has discovered peace in a small town he calls Medville on the Côte Vermeille, C.E. Ayr has spent a large part of his life in the West of Scotland and a large part elsewhere. His first job was selling programmes at his local football club and he has since tried 73 other career paths, the longest being in IT, with varying degrees of success. He is somewhat nomadic, fairly irresponsible and, according to his darling daughter, a bit random. So, nobody’s perfect.

    Loved the lingo. And he deserved it.

    Have you ever tried to go from the Admin page? Type in your URL and add: /wp-admin/
    Then on the left column, you will see ‘Posts’ and if you click on that and you’ll have the option “Add New”. This is how I have used WP since the very beginning…

    Good luck!

  6. Dear CE,

    Oh my. Something went helter skelter here. Love the language. I don’t think it requires a translation. 😉

    Shalom,
