I hope it is not too early to wish all our Scottish Friends wherever in the World they are:-

A Very Merry Christmas.

Had a look at clip but got bored half way through.

Reminded me of an advert for alcohol.

Have any of you (in Scotland) heard of the movie......

The Making of Harvey Di Maria ?

just wondering.........

Hi GlasgowLass

Thanks for the link, but I've already seen the sign. Typical Larkhall lol

The home of the only Subway in the world that isn't green! :-0

LadyScozz,
Have you seen the addition to the "Welcome To Larkhall" sign?

It appeared on my FB page a few weeks ago and of course it could only happen in Larkhall

EDIT:
Not suitable for GR so I've Pm'd it to you

lol Robert, no chance of me goin' baldy!


That wee gem is from a FB page, Larky Mashers....... anyone who knows Lanarkshire will probably know Larkhall.

Nice one LadyScozz, But I thought it was a confession that YOU were going bald!!

A wee bit of Scottish poetry :-D .........

Ah'm gon baldy
Ah cannae believe it!
Ma hair's fawin oot
'N' ah cannae retrieve it.

It disnae maitter
Where Ah'm comin' or gaunfie
Ah jist cannae stoap it
Comin' oot by the haunfie.

Ah'm dreadin' the sunshine
Doon the street Ah'll proceed
An' blin' the hale toon
Wi' mah big shiny heid.

Dinnae ken how Ah'll cope wi'
This hert-breakin' pain
(Tae rub saut in the wound
Mah saikint name's 'Bain')

:-D

It's not me goin' baldy! My baldy brother found this :-D

We did nothing special here either.

Maybe because we are older, it is not the same and
the young ones in our family don't seem to do anything
different on this day, shame really but that's how it is these days.

I had haggis, neeps and tatties followed by Tunnocks (plain) caramel wafers washed down with Barrs Iron Brew.

Did all you Scots living in Scotland have a celebration?

I knew it was St Andrew's Day yesterday, but didn't do anything special.

A few years ago I wore a tartan ribbon in my hair...... and got a few weird comments...:-D

I would have worn a blue & white ribbon, but I didn't have one....... and there isn't a ribbon shop anywhere near me. :-D :-D :-D

An exciting day well celebrated on this thread. :-(

And to you Robert, also to all fellow Scots at home
and abroad.

Happy St Andrews Day to all my fellow Scots wherever they might be.

Thank you, LadyScozz.

Nudging

DH laughs when I tell him some of the words we used as children in Scotland.

His favourite......... me being sent to the shop on Sunday for the weekly treat of a bottle of soft drink.......(which had to be carefully measured into glasses, so that all the kids got EXACTLY the same)

Shopkeeper: Whitye wantin?

Me: A bottle of ginger

Shopkeeper: whit sort?

Me: Raspberry

:-D

This reminds me of a conversation I had quite recently, with a 10yr old boy.
I worked in a school.

Child: "Hey Mrs, how dae ye spell.. but"
Me: " B.U.T."
Child: "Naw,... the other but"
Me: B.U.T.T ( like the butt of something?)
Child: "Naw... the other but"
Me: What is your sentence?

Child:" Ma pal's dug but ma airm"
