Fit Like? (as we say in this part of the frozen North)

[Airwave84]

Been a longtime "Collector" in a small, restrained, taste free sort of way.
Have finally come to the conclusion that the only way I'm ever going to get the 6139 6005 running properly is to do it myself.
last couple of months have involved spending almost as much on tools as I've spent on servicing this year.
have some nice tools now, some rubbish ones too, and am choking a little on which oils/greases to get.
hence joining here.

Am "Almost" retired (Gave up "Working" full time a few years ago, was never any good at it and no one liked me anyway  )
Fly Gliders for fun, towplanes for punishment and bend spoons in my garage to get money for toys. (Picture of molested spoons attached, somewhere)
Am aiming to give as few springs to the Swiss space programme as possible, but suspect there is time on the floor, on my knees, looking for "Bits" in my near future.

The bit of the Frozen North I'm in is NE Scotland, currently not frozen as it's high summer (we define "High" summer to be where we can wear a single, light, jacket)

Fit fur fit like loon!

Sunny Stoney by the Sea is far I am.

The "fit fur fit like loon" made oi larf.

Last century I was on a Norwegian rig (can't remember why, but probably to break something) one of the women onboard was chatting away, she had a Scottish boyfriend.

"Teach me a Scottish phrase" she said.

"Braw brich moonlicht nicht the nicht !"

Nope, I know that one, teach me another . .

"Fit fit, fits fit?"

(Translates as fit = which, fit = foot, fits = fits, fit =which (implied, boot/shoe/slipper e.t.c.))

She looked slightly irked, got up, left and came back 5 mins later with another tame Jock.. "say that last phrase again" she more or less instructed . . So I did.

Second tame Jock (who could speak a bit of Nog) ended himself, said to the lady that it was indeed a genuine if silly phrase.

She looked less irked, "what was the issue ?" I asked . .

Do you know what "fitte" means in Norwegian?" 

Nope, says I, with my best career spanning gormless look, what does it mean?

"Lady parts, crude version of"  . . .

bang went the cultural attache position . . . .  Having just said (effectively) fitte, fitte, fitte fitte . . . .
