29 Hi ("most of his ') and biscuits with 'it' removed (lack it). Would that work?

On the clydebank is a Scottish reference

I'm gang soon the pub.

Gang means to GO

Yes, Gang equals Go (and not Going as in Shooty's example. Sorry, Shooty!)

No worries Malone :-)

But my glaswegian mate used to say 'I'm gang dune the pub'

So I took it as both 'go and going'

Maybe different dialects in scotland.

I suppose if you're Scottish you'd know that. I was born in Hampshire and live in London so was never going to get it, but thanks for the explanation.

I think my Scottish relatives would have been 'ganging doon the pub'- but your Glaswegian mate's saying is possibly just as valid, Shooty!

StrangelyBrown, the works of Robert Burns can come in handy too- think of 'the best-laid plans of mice and men...'
