Ah! Third Lanark. Long gone but not forgotten. Great name; like Raith Rovers, Albion Rovers...

Which begs the question - what happened to First and Second Lanark?

Both were hung, drawn, and quartered alongside centre forward and team captain William Wallace following a particularly nasty encounter between the Home Countries a few seasons back.

Not to be pedantic Warwick, but you use the phrase "begging the question" quite often, but not really in the correct way. "Begging the question" is actually a form of circular argument in which the truth of a proposition is assumed in the premise of the argument - thereby using an assumed proof to help support itself. An example may be:- "Only a madman would get married. The fact that all those who are married are madmen proves this". What you really mean is that this "raises the question" or "this forces one to question" or something like this. This modern and incorrect use of the phrase is a bit disappointing coming from someone with your education and old fashioned values.

Nice picture, by the way.

I would draw your attention to the New Fowler's Modern English Usage, edited by RW Burchfield (Revised Third Edition, Clarendon Press, Oxford 1998)

On Page 101 it is stated thus: Beg- once commonly used in formal esp. business, correspondence as a formula of goodwill (Begging my best rememberances to Mrs. Thomson-Dickens, 1836), this verb is now mainly restricted to its general senses, 'to ask as a favour, to ask supplicatingly, etc.' Phrases of the type I beg your pardon, I beg (leave) to differ from you, etc., are still, however, in standard use.

I beg you to buy a copy of this illustrious work and study page 388, where you will find both 'incompetence' and 'incongruous vocabulary' defined and described.

Oh, and by the way, fuck off and die.
