@lairdofdarkness Thanks so much laird, really appreciate your comments and glad you enjoyed the festivities at Cosmo towers. He’s not sure if he’s going to have a Burns Night after Hogmanay. But I’m sure with a limited guest list he can be convinced.

I am very late to the @SwallyPod but the past two episodes , with the in depth descriptions of how James Cosmos Xmas and new year parties would go...incredibly funny
