Nothing bigoted about what I said, it's all true.  As an English woman living in Scotland (probably for longer than you did) and having an Irish husband and two Scottish children.  I think I know what is right.

Really, not bigoted ?? You take every opportunity to slag off what is probably the most successful British football team ever, and you are not a bigot ??

By the way, born May 30th, 1948, left Scotland May 4th, 1988 !! How does that grip you ??

Going to where the topic has drifted to, I thought this little joke would be Topical (geddit?). Apologies for the cod accent, and if I kiss off any of my tartan friends I make nae apology : :)
 

Alex Salmond was visiting a Scottish primary school and the class was in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings. The teacher asked Mr. Salmond if he would like to lead the discussion on the word 'Tragedy'.  So the illustrious SNP leader asked the class for an example of a 'Tragedy'.
 
A little boy stood up and offered, "If ma best freen, wha’ lives on a ferm, is playin' in the field and a tractor rins ower him and kills him, that wid be a tragedy."
 
"Incorrect", said Alex, in his best trying-not-to-sound-too-patronising-Scottish-accent, "That would be an accident."
 
A little girl raised her hand, "If a school bus kerryin' fifty children drove ow’r a cliff, killing a'body inside, that wid be a tragedy"
 
'I'm afraid not', explained Alex, "that's what we would refer to as a great loss’’.
 
The room went silent. No other children volunteered. Alex searched the room.
 
"Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?"

Finally, at the back of the room, a wee lad, let's call him H, raised his hand and, in a quiet voice, said: "If a plane kerryin' you and your deputy ' wiz struck by a 'freendly fire' missile & blawn tae smithereens, that wid be a tragedy."
 
"Fantastic!" exclaimed Alex, "and can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?"

"Weel", says the lad, "it has tae be a tragedy, because it certainly widnae be a great loss, and it probably widnae be an accident either!"

Point One, Liverpool are still the most successful British Football team.
Point Two,  Does not grip me at all.  I have been in Scotland longer than you and am going nowhere.

Geeeeeeez!!! f'ing Football, I ABSOLUTELEY ABHOR FOOTBALL.  How can this activity not sport because no way is this a sport, cause so many nasty evil feelings?  nothing but over paid Prima Donna's who give nothing to society, men who should turn to acting if the injuries on the pitch are to go by, oh I forget, that football thug Vinnie something used his natural abilities to further a new careerer.


Now Jacqui and Gordon get a grip! if anyone needs a slap it is you two!!!!   or better still Admin Ban the pair of them for the sake of sanity. F'ing fed up!!!!!
