Wings Over Scotland


And I would ask 500 more

Posted on May 06, 2013 by

It’s indescribably beautiful that the No camp’s much-trailed “500 questions” PDF about independence actually features 507. At least they’re getting their arithmetic wrong downwards for a change. When all those are answered they promise hundreds and hundreds more, so we thought we’d give them a head start on Volume 2.

524. I would do anything for love in an independent Scotland, but I won’t do what?

525. Kelly, can you handle this? Michelle, can you handle this? Beyonce, can you handle this? I don’t think they can handle this in an independent Scotland.

Who is God? Well, it’s an invisible person, and he lives up in heaven, up there. God is somebody who rules the world. He’s sort of like a spirit, I guess up in outer space. He kind of started all the plants growing, and he started people. Well I guess he’s kind of big and fat. He can see us whatever we do, whatever we do, he has such powerful eyes, he has to have millions and thousands and billions, and he can still see us when we’re bad. He could be sitting on the table right now, but you can’t see him. If he was a bad man, he would make everything bad, and we wouldn’t have electricity, he wouldn’t make people; that’s what would happen if God wasn’t nice. He’s not though, what – a lot of people think he’s just a feeling – but I think he’s a real person. Well, I think that God, um, isn’t a person, but he’s up in the heavens, and he’s watching over us right now. But will he go in the huff if Scotland becomes independent?

Guilty M’Lud”,
 
The gravity of your offence is such that although, against my better judgement, I am not empowered to impose a custodial sentence on you, the limited powers that the Rev Stu has invested in me leave me no alternative. I therefore sentence you to a 12 month subscription to Labour Hame, a letter of repentance to the Truth Team and a night out at a Bangladeshi restaurant with Ian Smart. I hope the severity of this sentence will be a deterrent to others who may be tempted to engage in these vicious cybernat crimes.

Can we hope that the sentiment expressed in Hugh MacDiarmid’s  poem “The Parrot Cry” comes to fruition in an independent Scotland?
Tell me the auld, auld story
O’ hoo the Union brocht
Puir Scotland into being
As a country worth a thocht.
England, frae whom a; blessings flow
What could we dae withoot ye?  
Then dinna threep it doon oor throats   
As gin we e’er could doot ye!
  My feelings lang wi’ gratitude
  Ha’e been sae sairly harrowed
  That dod! I think it’s time
  The claith was owre the parrot!   
 
Tell me o’ Scottish enterprise
And canniness and thrift,
And hoo we’re baith less Scots and mair
Than ever under George the fifth,
And hoo to ‘wider interests’
Oor ain we sacrifice
And yet tine naething by it     
As aye the parrot cries.
  Syne gie’s a chance to think it oot   
  Aince we’re a’ weel awaur o’t,
  For, losh, I think it’s time
  The claith was owre the parrot!
 
Tell me o’ love o’ country
Content to see’t decay,
And ony ither paradox
Ye think o’ by the way.
I doot it needs a Hegel
Sic opposites to fuse;
Oor education’s failin’
And canna gie’s the views
  That were peculiar to us
  Afore our vision narrowed
  And gar’d us think it time     
  The claith was owre the parrot!
 
A parrot’s weel eneuch at times     
But whiles we’d leifer hear    
A blackbird or a mavis     
Singin’ fu’ blythe and clear.
Fetch ony native Scottish bird
Frae the eagle to the wren,
And faith! you’d hear a different sang
Frae this painted foreigner’s then.
  The marine that brocht it owre
  Believed its every word
  – But we’re a’ deeved to daith     
  Wi’ his infernal bird.
 
It’s possible that Scotland yet
May hear its ain voice speak
If only we can silence
This endless chatterin’ beak.
The blessing wi’ the black
Selvedge is the clout!     
It’s silenced Scotland lang eneuch,
Gi’e England turn aboot.
  For the puir bird needs its rest – 
  Wha else’ll be the waur o’t?   
  And it’s lang past the time
  The claith was owre the parrot.
 
 
And gin that disna dae, lads,
We e’en maun draw its neck     
And heist its body on a stick    
A’ ither pests to check.
I’d raither keep’t alive, and whiles
Let bairns keek in and hear
What the Balliol accent used to be   
Frae the Predominant Pairtner here!
  – But save to please the bairns
  I’d absolutely bar it
  For fegs, it’s aye high time
  The claith was owre the parrot!

Major is 667 not already the fax number of the beast in an independent Scotland?

I’m sure it was the last time I saw a fax regarding his Labour party membership renewal.

john king

I’ve got one ,I’ve got one!
hello? hello? is anyone there?
bugger!
too late
damn-it, it was really good as well
doh!
oh well maybe I’ll be allowed to sing karaoke in an independent Scotland? 

Hello Muddah, hello Faddah
Here I am at camp Grenada
Camp is very entertaining
And they say we’ll have some fun if it stops raining

I went hiking with Joe Spivey
He developed poison ivy
You remember Leonard Skinner
He got ptomaine poisoning last night after dinner

All the counselors hate the waiters
And the lake has alligators
And the head coach wants no sissies
So he reads to us from something called Ulysses

Now I don’t want this should scare ya’
But my bunkmate has malaria
You remember Jeffery Hardy
They’re about to organize a searching party

Take me home, oh Muddah, Faddah
Take me home, I hate Grenada
Don’t leave me out in the forest where
I might get eaten by a bear

Take me home, I promise I will
Not make noise, or mess the house with
Other boys, oh please don’t make me stay
I’ve been here one whole day

Dearest Fadduh, Darling Muddah
How’s my precious little bruddah
Let me come home if you miss me
I would even let Aunt Bertha hug and kiss me

Wait a minute, it’s stopped hailing
Guys are swimming, guys are sailing
Playing baseball, gee that’s bettah
Muddah, Faddah kindly disregard this letter

I thank you I thank
applause applause

hello? hello?
oh well if you really have to listen to the real thing here it is I suppose
Hello Muddah Hello Faddah – Allan Sherman (cover) – YouTube

Oh well, I’ll post to keep you happy, and a wee hand clap.  You’ll not know whether its a slow one or not.

john king

well I suppose it’ll be left to me to sweep up then ,huh
what a messy lot,
you should see the rubbish, 
oh come on who left these red panties?
I’m looking at you bloodknok

john king

your not from Broughty Ferry by any chance are you colonel?
and whats that terrible smell in here?
and will you look at all the salad left to waste?

Bugger (the Panda)

No, but I suspect Clarinda just might be.

wrt Dundee, soap and salads, these are what my daughters told me. One went to school there and the other studied at Dundee Uni.

A Dundee shower they told me was a dousing of deodorant.
 
Just sayin.

Albalha

Lots of us from Dundee on here, who may or may not shower daily, I wouldn’t be knowing nor caring too much, where are you from yourself Panda?
 
 
 

Bugger (the Panda)

Maryhill, yes I know but, that was a long time ago. I have lived in France for the last 20 or so years.

Albalha

You live in France and question Dundonains use of soap, showering etc, alors, c’est vraiment un monde fou.

Bugger (the Panda)

D’accord but I did have my monthly shower this morning.
 
In my defence we used the bath to store our coal in Maryhill.
 
I lived for about 12 years in Freuchie, thus the Dundee connections of my two daughters.
 
I ran across Clarinda some years back on another blog and somehow worked out that she lived in the Ferry.
 
This may give you a wee laugh

Clearing up a loose end here…..668 is the neighbour of the Beast ; 667 is across the road!

Dramfineday

Right, this is the last from me on this subject (hurrah, did you say?)
Will we be told if the Battersea dogs home in an independent Scotland
Will women still open doors in their nightdresses in an independent Scotland
(thanks Chic)

Clarinda

Well BtP – I’ve only been to Broughty Ferry a couple of times – born and educated in the capital and now live above the Fair City but hanker for my DNA origins beyond Lairg.  I still keep up with the ‘Dundee Wifey’ and I fully support the application of soap with a good rub down on a regular basis.
 

Bugger (the Panda)

Nice to see you are still around.

rub down with soap and water?

I’m a wire brush and Dettol man myself.
 
James

Dave McEwan Hill

Sadly, I don’t know any women with doors in their nightdresses.

I found the No campaign’s 500 questions utterly hilarious.
This strategy is the best example I have ever seen of the Gish Gallop in the wild. And that really isn’t a good thing.
