Roma? is that the same as Romany as in the Romany gypsies? and is it related to Romanian at all?
Googled it.
Romani’s came orginally from North India and are ethnically different from Romanians. The language is also completely different from the Latin based Romanian, it is more related to Hindi and Greek.
As well as the phonetically engendered confusion between Romanians and Romani, it is also the case that Romani make up one of the larger minorities in Romania.
There are about 7 dialects of Romani which may be considered different languages.
Chic McGregor:
Well done Chic,I used to run a club for the Roma,I also had the privilege of catering for their Christenings and Weddings on several occasions,trust me,there was no big fat anything involved.
PS I have eaten hedgehog with some of them.

Smallaxe, thanks for your Kinks @11.38.
I have a confession to make, my friend and can’t keep it in any longer: I used to play cricket, for Thornliebank CC in the infamous and mean Glasgow and District League. We played at Stanalane by Rouken Glen. It’s not something I’m proud of but *pauses to wipe away tear*…….
In my defence, there was a Radio Malt shortage in EK at the time and they’d just discontinued Old Fashioned Spangles. I suppose I was a bit vulnerable and just easily led.
Of course, I quickly became an all-rounder: couldn’t bat, couldn’t bowl, couldn’t field.
Hope you can forgive me, or to put it another way:

Yes. The Vipers Skiffle Group originally who dropped the skiffle bit. They had an interesting line-up with George Martin involved at some point. That sounds quite like sort of early rockabilly sort of song that Buddy might have done with Decca before he went to Norman Petty and Coral Records.
Tinto. It’s online only on your broadband or smart phone.
Seeing as the 50’s are being referenced, here are a couple of rockabilly tracks I came across in the late 70’s. They seemed to be enjoyed by my student audience at the time…

Hi Smallaxe.
Of course, rockabilly evolved and, by the 1980/90’s, had become psychobilly.
In case you missed them in the 80/90’s, here are three examples for you.

Excuse me for not referring to most recent comments, haven’t yet got up to date…
Just wanted to drop this in. Curious wee snippet featuring Lene Lovich/Stiff Tour, and what she says will resonate with many of us, ‘I just felt I was part of a family’.
I really believe we’re doing something very similar to what she was a part of, even if most of us aren’t quite as beautiful.

I used to see their guitarist in the Imperial snooker hall (or was that The Premier?) on Sauchiehall St from time to time when I was mis-spending my youth. Very big dude, and a properly good snooker player from what I saw. Never summoned the guts to ask him for an autograph or anything, but loved what they were doing at the time.

The thought just popped in to my head that you might think I’m being a bit rude not commenting on your radio show. Truth is, I’ve only checked out a couple of tracks as I need to be careful with my band-with usage. My ignorance of your show comes naturally mate, it’s not contrived. Or rather, it is shaped to and by my environment, it’s not ideologically intentional. 🙂
Hi Ian B.
Checked out Smallaxe’s video link but I don’t recall The Shakin’ Pyramids at all.
As SAHB has been cited above, here’s, possibly, my favourite SAHB track. Tingly spine as the bagpipes come in.

One more offering… This features the late Gary Holton, who played “Wayne” in “Auf Wiedersehen Pet”.

@BDTT –
🙂 Just shows how busy the scene was back then. All-sorts going on.
Anyway, I don’t know if you or any other bods can help me here but I’m trying to track down a documentary. It’s not on Youtube and the BBC I-Player doesn’t have it.
It was broadcast on BBC2 on May 8th 2009 and is called ‘When Ian Rankin Met Jack Vettriano’. Saw it when it was broadcast but haven’t seen any trace of it since. Need to see it for research. It was part of a series by ‘ArtWorks Scotland’.
Anyone know any Rankin/Vettriano fans who may have kept a copy?
Hoots all – have a braw weekend. 🙂

@ Scotland in Union
I imagine you would agree with Pete, that the principles of contemporary social science are the ramblings of student politics? If so, your opinion lacks understanding of the connections between authentic human experience and values, realistic self-perception and self-appraisal, and the ability to form good judgement.
Your ideological mindset is detached from reality.

Tinto Chiel
Naw, quite flattering. It wasn’t that I didn’t recognise the authentic you mate, my attention was distracted by the false reality being created around me by the BUM. It stopped me from seeing things as they really are. I blame their monstar, the BBC, for most of the damage to my perception. Fiendish, frankly, in a colonial sort of way.
That false reality has become the mask that slipped, though, Cameron. More and more people are seeing through Vichy Vision. Once Brexit really kicks off, more and more pennies will drop, like the slow start of an avalanche.
Your inalienable right thing is another example of how The State tries to bulldoze us, but what if a legal argument were pursued on this very specific point?
I’m beginning to think the SG are quite a few steps ahead of Mrs Mayhem and her Gruntfuttocks.
Vichy Vision describes it well. Thankfully, ideology responds poorly to change and real-word events. Their mantra will be their downfall.
We’ll soon be liberated from their grooming of Scotland’s identity. Creeps.
And I believe that too, CameronB.

I would imagine the lack of in-depth sociological or psychological study in to the harmful effects the BBC has, when shaping an ideologically defined Scottish identity by impairing Scotland’s self-awareness and judgement, might be because academia is
largely part of the Yoon Establishment.
@ BBC
What about the people of Scotland’s inalienable human right to an authentic identity? You are aware that cultural integrity is a vital component of achieving sustainable solutions to re-world demands? Your Yoon ideology won’t do that.
Quench – Dreams (Original Mix)

@ BBC
The ideology that brought you in to existence, is outdated, unrepresentative and unsuited to current and likely demands of Scotland. Your corporatist resistance to reality, supporting an inequitable and unsustainable approach to meeting the future requirements of society, is unhelpful to say the least. No only that, you have the never to charge for the service.

Hi liz, I’m doing ok as far as I’m concerned but the Doc wants me back in tomorrow for more tests.They say my blood is full of white platelets.I don’t care if its full of cuplets and saucerlets.
I have been lurking on the main thread,but not posting much,I stay around here on off topic,it’s a calmer place for me to be at the moment.I’m keeping an eye on you.Please don’t worry about me liz,as I have said, I’m not going to lie down to it just because of their tests,I have my own ways of coping,music being one of them of course.Wings and Wingers like yourself are another form of therapy for me.
Keep up the good work on Wings,the 69rs and I have our own ways of contributing.

Hi CameronB Brodie.
RE: Pop Will Eat Itself.
The first of their offerings I came across was “Def Con 1”. I was intrigued by it. It worked well with my rock audience but what got me was I lost count at 9, trying to identify all the samples in it. But “Crazy Horses” just jumped out. I used to segue in to live, on vinyl.
Once I had mastered my audio editing app on ‘my leedle Mac’. I put this mix together. I’ll provide the link: you may have to actually download it, then play it in your media player.
I rather like it…
BTW: It was me segueing ‘Def Con 1’ into The Osmonds “Crazy Horses” that made “Crazy Horses” a regular track in Dundee rock discos for years afterwards.

Here’s one from a person largely benefit of middle-class vanities and distractions. Someone who you could say follows a more aesthetic approach to life. I’m sure my choosing this path was not purely voluntary, rather a reactive response to the events and social stimuli that have shaped my BEING. A defense strategy against being crushed under a neo-liberal interpretation as a ‘failure’, when viewed against contemporary social values.
I suppose you could say my BEING has been shaped through my life-long struggle against de-humanising habitus and ideology, I’m a scholarship kid to a private school, with a little bit of SOCIAL SCIENCES THEORY chucked in.
That’s probably why I’m aware my self-conception is somewhat out of alignment with the reality of my circumstances. I have the skills required to participate in British ‘middle-class-ness’, though I have little desire or opportunity of participating in this way of life, as I refuse to replace authentic human value and principle with short-term expediency.
Ignore the BUM, especially the BBC, it presents a facade of decency to cover neo-colonialism in th 21st century. The principles of contemporary social science support this perspective.

You’re ideological BEING is gonna take a spanking. Read any Bourdieu or Lorde yet? Done anything to de-colonise your mind? Apparently not, as you continue to support the acceptance of intolerance and social exclusion, along with an adherence to ideological dogma. This is the mindset that produced the inner-cities of the ’70s ye fanny-bawz.

We’re not trying to belittle you as you do a fine job of it yourself.
I just wish you’d shut up and let the grown-ups get on with a conversation which is of such importance that ideologically minded politicians and their gimps, such as yourself, should be barred from involvement in.
You’ll never understand “inclusion” until you comprehend habitus, which you are a product and supporter of. Your ideological outlook is ill-informed and subsequently inhumane, kid.
Here’s a paradox for you to wrestle with, given you function as tool of British National Socialism.
Put the master’s tools down!
@dhothersall
As you pose as a credible commentator on Scotland’s contemporary socio-economic and political climate, I’m left wondering how an ill-informed tool of British National Socialism is enabled to comment on Scotland’s post-modern condition, experienced under a system of inter colonisation. Do you reject Differential Oppositional Consciousness and the “Methodology of the Oppressed”?

Who would agree that the term “you promised to keep the garden in good order” is subjective enough to mean just about anything. Asking for a friend. 🙂
@Jim McIntosh
I would take that as meaning cutting the grass and a bit of weeding. Not planting anything or splashing cash. basically keep it tidy.
Keeping something in “good order” is just maintenance like getting the car serviced. If it’s not serviced it will no longer be in good order when it is handed back. My view, FWIW.
@dhothersall
Hey flat-head, the thing about ideologues is they lack an appreciation of science and art. Their world view is dictated by prescribed message, not human experience and imagination.
I pity you with role models such as TUBA-BOY. Why don’t the pair of you expand your appreciation of “organic” and “ideological” nationalism? This may make your future comment worthy of consideration. It certainly isn’t at present.

Hi CameronB Brodie.
You typed,
“You were mix’n and shit back in the day”
The bit of that mix that I was particularly chuffed with was using Alex Harvey from the “Penthouse Tapes” album as the bridge between Pop Will Eat Itself and The Osmonds. (Licks thumb and wipes on lapel…)
———————————————–
Hi Jim McIntosh.
You mentioned,
“keep the garden in good order”
That reminded me of a story. A guy moves in to a cottage in a wee village. The front and back gardens are totally unkempt – three feet high grass and so on. So, over the spring and summer, he works on the gardens every day. He cuts the grass back and creates flower borders at the front and plants shrubberies and vegetables at the back.
By Autumn, the gardens are looking splendid. That’s when the local minister, passing by one day, engaged the guy in conversation. The guy shows him what he has done at the front and round the back.
“Isn’t it wonderful,” says the minister, “to see God’s work in all its glory?”
“God’s work?”, says the guy. “You should have seen it when he was looking after it himself!”
@dhothersall
Hey flat-head, do you appreciate that from the perspective of post-modern critical social theory, your adherence to ideology and your basic intolerance and exclusionary* hostility to Scotland’s self-determination, identifies the neo-colonial character of your Yoonery.
You would rather Scotland was extinguished under an expansionist form of English nationalism, of an increasingly neo-liberal, character. That’s why were Better Together, eh?
Figured out how to “put the master’s tools down” yet, tool?
Mr Oizo – Hand In The Fire (feat. Charli XCX)

* Can’t get much more exclusionary than denying Scots access to inalienable human rights. That’s denies the humanity of an entire people, those who identify as Scots.

Would it be taking it too far if I was to suggest your mixing was in some way breaking the ideology of each track. Your scratch was a solution of syntheses.

Hey flat-head,, I’m not sure if that Tory fan-boy, David Torrance, will have any space left in his shabby tent of diminished being. You could always ask him and his mates to squeeze up. Birds of a colonialist feather….

You know that thing where when you refresh the page it refreshes to where you commented?
I get round that by having this and the current one open and then alternate after I comment.
Dr. Craig Dalzell
I don’t know why you honour David Torrance by acknowledging he may have a rational argument. The colonising processes of British nationalism are in conflict with the principles of his scientific training. British nationalism and authentic Scottish self-identification are completely incompatible. It is either Britain or a Scotland with intrinsic integrity. Both can not exist in the same space at the same time.
David Torrance is either an unprincipled charlatan or a disingenuous and anti-social throw-back to a less civilised colonial time. You dirty yourself with such contact.

Hi Paula Rose.
When I reload a WOS page, it appears at the same place it was before I clicked on “Reload” but with any new posts appearing below where I was so I have to scroll down the page to see them.
I find that fine. What gets me is the rigmaroll to see what you’ve posted as soon as you’ve clicked on “Submit Comment”.
Up to Firefox 35, I didn’t have the oft-reported problems of posts not appearing for around 15-20 minutes after clicking on “Submit Comment” and the username and email not being preserved. Then I jumped to Firefox 37 and those problems suddenly appeared.
I’ve found out, by trial and error, the following work around.
Before I comment, I enter my username and email address. Then I reload the page. The details seem to hold so I then type in my comment. When I’m finished, I check the appearance in the text below the text input box, then click on “Submit Comment”.
Sometimes, the page reloads and shows me what I’ve submitted in the correct chronological place on the page. Other times, the page reloads and returns to the top of the page. In that case, I click on the “Backwards” button, then the reload button.
About half the time, the page will then show my comment correctly in situ. The other half of the time, it takes anywhere between 5 and 15 minutes of reloading before my comment appears.

Show us what a capable individual you are. You should be confident as you are up against a disabled monstar here. Less than 5% of those who have received comparable traumatic brain damage as I have, go on to access any type of employment.

The Anglo/American pact is at it’s weakest, as they square up to ‘home-grown’ American fascism, with an insurgent driving up the middle of Wall Street, the Donald, causing all sorts of waves and upset.

Belated thanks to Michael McCabe and Smallaxe for welcoming me to the off-topic thread. I have posted a few comments on Wings over Scotland in the past (quite some time ago). Even when I wasn’t commenting, I still kept up to date with reading Wings. It’s one of the best places to go for exposing the lies of the MSM.

There are a lot of ‘chanty-wrastlers’ like Torrance around, especially on the BBC. That channel should carry a health warning for causing extreme nausea and raising blood pressure.
They’re so full of their own importance that they think their audience is hanging on to their every word when in fact we’re
shouting at the screen: “Feck off, ye @@!!%$@@@ scunners!”

Contemporary Britain stands in conflict to international development law and outwith the global agreement of ‘best practice’ towards achieving a sustainable future.

Hey up the back. Some of us are trying to survive down here. link to youtube.com
It’s certainly not easy to survive living under a system of internal colonisation, let alone thrive. I’d suggest the last 40 years might have seen the deepest exploitation of Scotland’s resources, throughout it’s three centuries of subservience to England. Stagnant population, structural poverty and a society structured through English culture and constantly groomed by the BBC to be happy BritNats.
Wake up Scotland, don’t be “name”!

Still with me FAN-BOY?
Perhaps the next time you’re on the BBC, you can explain to them that their love for Scotland is neither natural nor healthy? They hamper the formation of a Scottish identity and impair Scotland’s psycho-social development by forcing a British identity and values on Scots. As you will no doubt acknowledge, such a perversion of one’s personal development can be expected to effectively undermine the formation of a rational, self-aware human BEING.
The BBC undermines Scotland’s self-confidence and ability to make rational judgement and effectively turns Scots in to domesticated beasts or zoo exhibits, kept in a permanent state of adolescence.
Now why would the BBC do that other than to subvert Scottish democracy?

Unfortunately, things aren’t necessarily as straight forward as it might appear.

@David Torrance
Britain is the ideological creation of a traditionalist, colonialist, per-democratic mindset and does not provide the constitutional or legislative frameworks to enable the sustainability of an authentic Scottish community. Only an outdated British-Scottish community shaped by an expansionist form of English nationalism. This does not help the effort to achieve global sustainability or world peace.

@Owen Jones
You didn’t appear too concerned over the abuse of civil liberties and the denial of inalienable human right of Scots, ye wee fanny-bawz. Put the master’s tools down and step out of your ideological world, for Jebus sake. Perhaps you will then be able to allow your ethics to rise above your beliefs and support Scottish independence?

@J.K. Rowling
What particular insight do you have, with respect to the likelihood of Scotland’s survival as an authentic society, within an ideologically defined Britain, in an age driven by the forces of post-modernity and globalisation.
Can you imagine what Scottish society might be like in 100 years, defined through neo-liberal English/British nationalism?
Do you imagine the popular dissatisfaction with the way Westminster deals with Scotland will simply vanish like Scotch mist?
Are you aware of the “Right to Development”?
Perhaps you wish Scotland to become dysfunctional in a space-age-by-way-of-Caligari … on the delicious side of creepy*, stylee. Well Brexit is a monster movie musical.

So benefits should not be sufficient to provide the means to social inclusion?
Historically, fascism has thrived in an environment defined through wedge politics, virtue gesturing, violence (both symbolic and physical) and an ideology of centralised power.
Hold tight Scotland! Put the master’s tools down and spot who the real enemy is. Stop fighting among yourselves! A divided colony will never emancipate itself from bondage.

@Church of Scotland
Still value the interests of an ideology that is alien to Scottish culture and landscape and the predominantly Anglican Establishment it supports, over the best-interests of your flock? The PM does say she is guided by God, so I suppose you’ll be right behind her then, eh?

Don’t fear shadows. Viceroy Fluffy and an increasingly obvious BBC and their Scottish ‘experts’, are the representatives of Westminster power over Scotland. Not such tough opposition under the lens of proper scrutiny, as ideology is leaden-footed and crumbles under the weight of scientific understanding.

@SmallAxe – thanks for the assist. Like yourself, I could not find much more than those entries about sales and Wikipedia noting some supermarket chains’ reluctance. My impression had been that it had continued for far longer than those entries state, but this was largely anecdotal comment at the time – and the editor of The National seems reluctant to say more.
