Yes, it must be Scottish, cos I know English words, LOL. My family is very English. :D

I know, they sound fun. :-( But we have very strict firebans here, especially around Christmastime, which, as you know, is summer. In 2003 the place where I live had huge and horrible fires - I was only about five, but I still absolutely freeze up in terror everytime I smell smoke. About the only thing I remember was being evacuated along with the dog and the guinea pigs when the fire got too close... I also remember all the ash blowing around everywhere, and the sky turning completely orange. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0f/2003CanberraBushfires.jpg

Basically, I'm quite glad we have a fire ban. Oh, and rashies are t-shirts you wear in the water. They're called rash shirts or rash vests because I think some surfers used to wear them so that they didn't get a rash on their chest from the board. Maybe. LOL
