From kilts and haggis to whisky, footie and thriftiness, this hilarious collection of Scottish jokes is a Nevis of Laughs. XXXXXA Scotsman walking through a field, sees a man drinking water from a pool with his hand. The Scotsman shouts, "Awa ye eijit, can ye no tell that's a foo o coos keich?!" (Translated: Begone you idiot, can't you tell it's full of cow shit?!) The man shouts back, "I'm English. Speak English, I don't understand you!" To which the Scotsman wholeheartedly responds, "Use both hands, you'll get more in." XXXX Bono, lead singer of the rock band U2, is famous throughout the entertainment industry for being more than just a little self-righteous. At a U2 concert in Glasgow, Scotland, he asked the audience for total quiet. Then, in the silence, he slowly started to clap his hands, once every few seconds. Holding the audience in total silence, he said into the microphone, "Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies." A voice with a broad Scottish accent from the front of the crowd pierced the quiet... "Well, foockin stop doin it then, ya evil bastard!"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2014 she said: 'I'm NEVER doing Breakfast Radio ever again.' Now she's back. So, what made journalist, presenter, playwright and all-round lovable rascal Cat Harvey rejoin the broadcasting enigma that is Ewen Cameron? Was it the pandemic? The closure of theatres? Or was it the simple fact that she needed a laugh? In CAT'S OUT THE BAG, Cat answers all these questions and more! She spills the beans on the behind-the-scenes antics on one of Scotland's favourite radio shows. There's dancing on the kitchen table with a global superstar at 3 a.m., Ewen's traffic-stopping prank and THAT rumour of a night of passion with a Rolling Stone. It's a world where hilarity is mandatory, nonsense is encouraged, and everyone is welcome. Side-splittingly funny, insightful, poignant and ultimately uplifting in a world of gloom, this is the banter we all need. 'I think it's quite sweet she's spent years trying to find my house.' - Marti Pellow 'I first met them when I was 17. Cat said I'd be a superstar. Ewen said I'd never make it. Cat has always been my favourite.' - Amy MacDonald

Download or read book Scotland s Road to Independence written by Alan W. Ertl and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2013-11 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book surveys elements that have influenced the Scottish people over time and led to the formation of a distinct sui generis identity. The modern state is an amalgam of people who inhabit a specific given territory, people whose thinking has been formed by circumstances and events which over time, forge a collective identity and establish self-expression and determination. Environmental happenstances, the genetic and intellectual makeup of the people, the overcoming of common challenges, and the interpretation of historical events all play a role in the development of this collective thinking, forming the modern mental structure of a given population. In the case of the Scots, these elements have created an endemic view of the world that is unique and recognizable. This text identifies these influences and traces their development through time as they formed the self-felt identity of the modern nation which has inherited the territory of Scotland. Reviewed herein are some of the main factors which have provoked a natural and correct desire for an independent state in Europe: a Scotland for the Scots.
Download or read book One Weekend a Month My Ass written by Sgt. Joseph Berlin (ret.) and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-07-15 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is written from a collection of journal entries I kept during my training in California before I went overseas to serve in Iraq, copies of letter I sent home to my two daughters and school that I taught at when activated, as well as some stories that I wrote about my experiences. There are some facts that are incorrect in this book but I kept them in because they were the truth to me at the time. The letters are mostly word for word as they were written and sent. I have included pictures that go along with my writings that help to show, as well as explain, what I experienced. I have changed or omitted the names of people to protect their privacy. I was not a hero, nor was I involved in any large fighting that took place in Iraq. I was just a fifty-three year old man, close to my twenty-year letter for retirement in the National Guard who happened to be sent to war in Iraq. I don´t pretend to be brave or have any deep meaning to my experiences. I just want to share an average story of an average soldier in Iraq. Sgt. Joseph Berlin (ret.)
