Buy One ..Get One Free!

Jist w'ant tae share a few things, oan politics

For the SNP, it was a looongg wait and hard fought, until they became the main political party in Scotland, and then a Government, you don't forget that quickly, the wanting and waiting, and when they did become our government, debatably, I feel they did an excellent job. retaining NHS services and free prescriptions, while England pushed and cut annual budgets vs growth.

So if it's hard fought it gives you a taste to do it right!
coz you rem no huvin it, and how bad that felt, and HOW many people you let doon by messing it up.. which is very the opposite of the tories, for them its like win England get Scotland free! ..'buy one ..get one free!'

Until 1922 we voted, not for the tories, but the Liberal Party.

There has been times in Scottish history we voted Tory, however since 1959 (source wiki) in which Labour looked like a serious opponent and then again the 1980's government & Margaret Thatcher, we voted socialist and never looked back.

The SNP, who ultimately are just a normal party, were left with the responsibility of the fight, and fight they did! So perhaps it reminds us o' oorsel's, ne'er gee'n up

We have the chance to decide on the 18th of this month, which is jist this thursday! hope you kin take 20 minutes to tell the tories how ye feel.

never again another unelected tory government. never again does america rule and tell us to send scots solders to fight kill and die.

This vote offers us something the UK government never could: hope & happiness.

peace

Thoughts of Concern, Passion and Right & Wrong

Hi

jist w'ant tae share a few thoughts..

WHAT IF

The bad monsters come..

After a democratic vote of YES, the English do what is common practise for the UK and embargo us.. run up an import tax to 'teach us a lesson'.. strangle the interest rate in their favor at times when it will hurt us Scots the most.

We WILL survive.. By the great grace of God, the eyes of men have seen the Scots know how to survive!

WHAT IF

England is in need.. if after some bitterness, do we be internationally graceful? I don't know.


The Empire is dying or dead.. once Great Britain was something to be proud of.. England with His Queens of Wales and reluctant Ireland and reluctant, but deigning Scotland.. his Daughters.. Canada, Australia, Belize, Brunei, Guyana, Singapore,.. and His Son New Zealand.

His Beloved Step-Daughters, India, Kenya, Burma, Malaysia, Hong Kong; who returns to her Father but is permitted to love still.

The Daughters who rebelled America, Egypt, Pakistan.

If anyone tells you the Empire wasn't Great, please don't believe them.. they should have taught us who these people were.. who these countries were in school.. if you travel to see those 'Daughters' the people will welcome you, like you are a long lost relative ..coming home after a long journey. But we were not taught who these people and their culture were in school, let alone our shared history.. Margaret Thatcher smashed any ties England and Scotland had.. I use the example I feel is most fitting ..Lex Luthor with a cane on the glass map of the San Andreas fault. But because we rejected her, she was spiteful and destroyed 200 year old links between our two countries.

Scottish Inventions.. were sublime for 300 years.. we invented it and the English poured it into the world and the Empire.. we are stone cold geniuses when it comes to engineering.

What did we need.. work. plain and simple work.. a way for our talents to be used in a way we enjoy..honest labour..but he failed so many times trying to get 'something together'.. excuses 'I'll have something together for you by next year' .. that next year never came.

When we suggested to him.. we want this, instantly the reply was no.. as if, becuase we had to ask for the permission, he had to use the authority..always. no Husband can do that, not one.. why? becuase then she feels she has no value and that is not the point of a marriage by any measure.

Scotland is a Sovereign Nation .. we told England with TWO one million man marches, we did NOT want war.. Scotia is a Regal Queen..ONCE should be sufficient.

Ignore and deny.. He keeps doing this over and over again, we have no way to win and so we just let Him keep doing it over and over again and He gets His way.. we have no voice in Him that He respects, but when America speaks He listens, an unelected body governs in place of the people of this land.. we said 'no war' America said 'yes war'.. war happened.

Thats a simple truth.

Hey, I would have loved 10 years ago to have close ties to America but since then I studied
.. Bush Sr the war criminal.. goes unpunished.. Westminster KEEP obeying American politicians..who have NO right to even SPEAK about home policies.. people in america don't like politics and don't pay attention.. even worse they become angry if you try to raise the topic.

So what if Americans want to lower our price of oil.. well thats just a short trip to Westminster to tell their MP lackies what to do and how to do it. Frankly and realistically.. we need some friends in the middle east.

Our closest relative in the 'middle east' as Scots is Turkey.. She is Gaulic like us..but she doesn't have oil and she hasn't spoken to us much for over 1000 years. To those who don't know Anatolia is a vast mountain range which was the province of Galicia.. imagine not, some wee guy dirty in a cave 2000 years ago..but modern people, who travelled caught fish to eat and hunted yes, but took holidays and made relatives in our Turkish province.. like modern camping and travelling. Life wasn't as hard as some might imagine, because the skills we lost are the ones they were taught from childhood. .. hungry? go catch a fish, there's plenty.. thirsty? distill some rainwater or find the highest mountain and find a stream.

but I digress

IT IS WRONG for England to be ignorant.
IT IS WRONG for England to OBEY America.
IT IS WRONG that we are told we cannot do what we know we can.

IT IS RIGHT to have democracy.
IT IS RIGHT to have control of our own money.
IT IS RIGHT to control our international policies.

perhaps He has the right to punish us also.. I mean we are the one who is leaving Him..but I tried and tried and he just didn't listen.. over and over i told him what i wanted.. but my desires are just not good enough for him.. and He prefers the company of our renegade Daughter.. imagine that.. a child having power over a parent what kind of ego-trip would that send the child on??.. well we see it all too often in America's case.

IT IS WRONG for us to act like He was nothing.
IT IS WRONG not to remember our Golden Victorian Era together.
IT IS WRONG to forget the good works we did in the world together.

IT IS RIGHT to be kind to our southern neighbours and if need be turn the other cheek also.
IT IS RIGHT to hope for the same kindness we extend Him.
IT IS RIGHT to remember.

I knew I wanted Scotland back..

The first inkling I ever had that Scotland was not the same country as England, was as a child, while travelling back from Ingliston market one rainy Sunday.. over a bridge spray painted were the words: 

'ENGLISH GO HOME'

It left an impression on me and when I found out at 14yo what it was all about, I was captivated by the idea, as a grew I learned much more.. the many many English Governmental caveats of the well riffled crypt, like the tossing and turning in the back of a car, it all been seen before every topic..but for fresh eyes, its like lightning knowledge of what was a hidden injustice..now revealed. 

I thought I knew and felt the same about nationalism, my patriotism up until I was 30yo .. but then I felt it.. appreciation for what we had done together.. it didn't change my mind or my heart..but it was like the sun came from behind a cloud and I stopped hating Him.. I didn't hate Him anymore, I let go. fair thee well kindly and goodbye.

America the monster.. not Superman, as we are lead to believe..wow they have a good PR and Marketing department!! ( collection of old forum replies)

17/12/11

okay okay I feel the need to say something.

I recently lived in the states for 3 months, I had an American GF who was/is ex-Army.

She was treated well because of this. I liked that people treated her well, because she had seen some combat.

However.. I am Scottish. not American.

gather round children and I will tell you a fantastic tale with dubious facts remembered from a TV show in the 90's on BBC2.


After WW2 Berlin was divided in to three parts, one for America, one for Britain and one for Russia (yes, they were on our side no matter what MGS says).

three months or so in, one day the British turned up to their part of Berlin, but no, no,no, the Americans said 'y'know guys we got this covered' and so Britain lost it's third of Berlin and so it's wealth.
The Americans also snuck Nazi scientists out of the country, because if Britain had got a hold of them, We've killed'em. later on in the late 40's Britain was hurting for cash and so asked for a wee loan from the states. after three years or so, we imposed a trading embargo on the States.. soo they couldn't get there money back.

in 1997 Bill Clinton forgave the debt. but we never got Berlin back soo even Stephens.

During the late 70's Bush senior was head of the CIA, he played puppeteer to countries and governments a like. ..like you do when your the head of the CIA.

after Regan and Gorbachiv started peace and the thawing of the cold war, and then Yeltzin finished it, I imagine the makers of arms, whom it is known are friends of the Bush oil men, were not happy.

and so to Iraq... WMD? Iraq didn't even have the cash to do such a thing. ..and the former head fo the CIA and ATT current president didn't know this?

.. so when I heard this year, that Osama Bin Ladin died (I was in the states at the time) I thought to myself 'all these people are going to want to celebrate with me..but when does Bush senior go to Jail?'

fairs fair.. in the UK if a politician brakes the rules they go to Jail... I still hope Tony Blair will be properly trialled. but many MP's have went to Jail (cash for questions scandal, sex offenders) but not so in the USA.



all that was food for thought. because Soldiers and Seaman and Pilots ARE doing a JOB. a good one at that, one they should be proud of. but politicians? don't get me started.

I was proud of my ex she had done a good job, the people in the states were nice to me, nice people. good food. bbuuut baaad foreign policies.


in Scotland it is common to talk politics, it is an every day occurrence, it is 'in Our blood' but in the states if you try to talk politics, they look at you like you just gave wind.

hi guys

to chip in, during my life, Bush Sr. for starting the war for his oil buddies.

I liked Clinton, he seemed nice, shame he cheated, but should that mean he was a bad politician? i dunno, I suppose not. let God judge him for cheating, didn't his wife forgive him? shouldn't we?

dunno much about American prezes, although i am a bit ticked off with the amount of US cartoon brainwashing i underwent as a kid, you'd need to be a secret service to do the same job to an adult lol 

I didn't realize it until i was watching youtube in a heavy nostalgia session, and i was watch an 80's cartoon, called Galaxy Rangers, and everyone of them was Texan, so out of the whole galaxy, the four best defenders of THE GALAXY where Texan... okay :S, have any of them gone threw Glasgow on a Saturday night when the pubs are coming out around 2am.. didn't think so. LOL

if your Texan reading this, am no huvn a go at your state pride, it was the writers that chose your state, just huvn a go at the portrayal of America to me aged 10.

I'm Scottish, i should be hearing about the baird, scottish history (which the english took off the syllabus when i was at school)... maybe all that is harsh, 'cos the truth is we had no money to make our own stuff, no one encouraged our talent, 3 channels you'd get channel 4 if you were lucky, but no one cared, maybe Bill Forsyth .. but in the early eighties it was American shows or English shows. ...Rikki Fulton at Christmas GRHS five years before it was Stanley Baxtor, ah well

God Bless

:What's your name?

Canada Caledonia Gaul Angle Americana Gael

: Do you have any family?

Yes, I have two Mothers and one Father, Their names are:
Alba Caledonia Scotia Dál Riata Anatolia Gael
Gaul Charlemagne Catholic Celt Caledonia Anatolia Gael
My Father is
Angle Jerusalem Ally Roman Hanover Saxon Britannia

My sister is:
Americana Angle Freedom Scotia Columbia HymnsongBlues Righteous HalfMoon Avalon Magnificent Imperialis


But sadly, my parents do not call her daughter any longer, she warred with our Father and my Mother Alba says she often ashamed of her, so they call her 'cousin' even though it is a kind lie. is she disowned? in truth partially, I think our parents would love her again if she didn't start so many fights and make so much blood. Well that's what they say, I think she has a point.. but don't tell my Parents I said that!

My half cousin is :

Groenland Inuit Thorvaldsson Americana Martin Norge Scania

She barely talks to me except to say 'hi'.. but even just with that I know we get along well. Her Father is nice to me.. even though in past we have a tiff.Oh and my little Brother!

Angle Scotia Maori Zeeland

He's just a little baby, and I don't see him often, but my Mother Alba Visits him and so does my Father. They both love him very much! But last I heard he didn't want to know them because they are talking about a divorce.

:What do you think of your parents? all three..

Well, my Father is a very righteous man and I listen to any law he has for me. He provided for me for many years.. that reminds me I did not pay him back for that! But he never seems fussed about it, always kind to me, ask how I am and sending me nice letters. My mother Alba does not like to hear this! oh She wants good things for me, but when it comes to my Father, he has hurt her heart too many times! Did you know my Mother is a genius renowned the world over? She says even so.. genius.. all he wanted was the money. no work for her! only money! I love my Father.. but even I think she has a point. Why? cause anyone can see he did not give her work (This is Canada echoing the words spoken to her by Alba). Don't tell my Father I said that!

My Mother Gaul is always disapproving of me, I say to her 'What did I do Mother?'.. She has very high standards, unfortunately for me, I can't help but listen to her, I keep thinking in the back of my mind that she is right somehow. She has so many good qualities I want for myself, how on earth did she get them? When Alba comes to visit me, she is always friendly to me, when Gaul comes to visit, she tells me off.


: what are your hobbies?

I like sports, politics, liberal arts, culture and Whisky. I like to survival trek too.

I am learning about investment like my mother Alba.. it is very hard.. I have some monies, and am hard working.. so you think it would be easier. :frown:

I am pretty and rugged, but do not wish to marry coz in secret i love my Father, not in a odd way, just I don't think there is man of measure like him. Don't tell my mothers I said that.. in fact don't tell anyone. :red face:

:What do you think of your sister Americana?

I look up to her often, but she is a little rude to me sometimes.. but sisters jape, this is true, i know in secret she loves me very very much. even though she makes fun of me for my french/scottish accent. We have fun sometimes with ice sports, it makes me very happy!.. i think in truth i am a happy person.. in honestly i think she is not, sad to say.. she is always fighting and while i can see her point of the fight.. why does she do it so often?

:What are your goals for the future?

peace, love, understanding and beat americana in ice sports :laughs:

:Thank you for your time

Most welcome monsieur.

Mon père est

Ma soeur est:

Mais malheureusement, mes parents n'appellent plus sa fille, elle a combattu avec notre père et ma mère Alba dit qu'elle a souvent honte d'elle, alors ils l'appellent «cousin» même s'il s'agit d'un bon mensonge. Est-elle désavouée? En partie en partie, je pense que nos parents l'aimeraient encore si elle ne commençait pas tant de combats et faisait tant de sang. Bien, c'est ce qu'ils disent, je pense qu'elle a un point ... mais ne dis pas à mes parents que j'ai dit ça!

Mon demi cousin est:

Groenland Inuit Thorvaldsson Americana Martin Norge Scania

Elle me parle à peine sauf pour dire «salut» ... mais même avec ça, je sais que nous nous entendons bien. Son père est gentil avec moi ... même si, auparavant, nous avons un tiff.Oh et mon petit frère!

Angle Scotia Maori Zeeland

Il est juste un petit bébé, et je ne le vois pas souvent, mais ma Mère Alba le visite et aussi mon Père. Ils l'aiment tous beaucoup! Mais j'ai entendu dire qu'il ne voulait pas les connaître parce qu'ils parlent d'un divorce.

: Que penses-tu de tes parents? tous les trois..

Bien, mon père est un homme très juste et j'écoute toute loi qu'il a pour moi. Il m'a fourni pendant de nombreuses années ... ça me rappelle que je ne l'ai pas remboursé pour ça! Mais il n'a jamais l'air fous, toujours gentil avec moi, me demander comment je suis et m'envoyer de belles lettres. Ma mère Alba n'aime pas entendre ça! Oh, elle veut de bonnes choses pour moi, mais quand il s'agit de mon père, il a beaucoup blessé son cœur! Saviez-vous que ma mère est un génie renommé dans le monde entier? Elle dit même si ... génie ... tout ce qu'il voulait était l'argent. Pas de travail pour elle! Seulement de l'argent! J'aime mon père ... mais même si je pense qu'elle a un point. Pourquoi? Parce que tout le monde peut voir qu'il n'a pas donné son travail (le Canada fait écho aux mots qui lui ont été prononcés par Alba). Ne dis pas à mon père que je l'ai dit!

Ma Mère Gaulie me désapprouve toujours, je lui dis: «Qu'est-ce que j'ai fait Mère?». Elle a des normes très élevées, malheureusement pour moi, je ne peux pas l'écouter, je continue à penser à l'arrière de Je pense qu'il a raison. Elle a tellement de bonnes qualités que je veux pour moi, comment les a-t-elle reçues? Quand Alba vient me rendre visite, elle est toujours amicale pour moi, quand la Gaule vient de visiter, elle me dit.


: Quels sont vos hobbies?

J'aime les sports, la politique, les arts libéraux, la culture et Whisky. J'aime aussi le voyage de survie.

J'apprends à propos de l'investissement comme ma mère Alba ... C'est très difficile ... J'ai des fonds, et je travaille dur ... alors tu penses que ce sera plus facile. :froncer les sourcils:

Je suis joli et accidenté, mais je ne souhaite pas me marier avec le secret. J'aime mon Père, pas de façon étrange, mais je ne pense pas qu'il y ait un homme de mesure comme lui. Ne dis pas à mes mères que je l'ai dit ... en fait, ne le dis pas à personne. :visage rouge:

: Que penses-tu de ta soeur Americana?

Je la regarde souvent, mais elle est un peu grossière à moi parfois ... mais les sœurs jape, c'est vrai, je sais en secret qu'elle m'aime très fort. Même si elle se moque de moi pour mon accent français / scottish. Nous nous amusons parfois avec les sports de glace, cela me rend très heureux! ... Je pense en vérité, je suis une personne heureuse ... honnêtement, je pense qu'elle ne l'est pas, triste de dire ... elle se bat toujours et pendant que je peux la voir Point du combat ... pourquoi fait-elle si souvent?

: Quels sont vos objectifs pour l'avenir?

Paix, amour, compréhension et bataille americana dans les sports de glace: rires:

:Merci pour votre temps

Manx Tynwald Ellan Vannin Brythion Gael

Kernow Celt Brythion Dumnonia Gael

Cymru Gwynedd Deheubarth Powys Brythion Gael


I have a fond second cousin, and dear friend, whom I have fought beside many times. She feels betrayed that I married her enemy. I hope she can forgive me and see I repent.

Gaul Charlemagne Catholic Celt Caledonia Anatolia Gael

and a little one

Angle Scotia Maori Zeeland


and a distant relative in the middle east. She has trouble at times but never asks me for help.

And I have only seen her a few times in passing over the last 2000 years, but that seems to be because of her busy life.


: what are your hobbies?

I like poetry, religion, art, investment and politics. And a dram, should I win a victory.

I'm a daughter of the Church, you know, (laughs) but everyone has their problems.

: What do you mean?

Well, I'm in a trial separation at the moment and it's not going well. He is boorish and reckless and we just don't fit. I don't feel we are helping anyone and we're only hurting ourselves. I am full of fight, but he fights with people I don't have a quarrel with, like a drunk throwing punches at his own shadow. I am exasperated with him. I am not rich in taste. I do not say to him buy me land. All I say is to shelter, feed, clothe, educate and employ me, but sometimes I now think I would be better off just doing this myself. I was independent for most of my life and I don't need subjection to him. I have some money even though … can we stop? It's too upsetting.

Camera stops}!


fade back in :Alba composes herself from tears}!

He ruined me! I was the best at investment and Finance for many a year.


: tell me about your sisters....... E'ire Norge

I don't see them as much as I would like but I suppose I see them quite often. E'ire is always close, and I often see Norge and think 'I could be that happy, ... if I hadn't married him'. Norge is always laughing to herself. I have no idea why. (smiles)

: and your second cousin. She is ages with you ... is that correct?

We were best friends for many years. We used to dream saying, 'we could make paradise on earth and we would call it Caledonia'. She's full of grace and splendour, and shares the same poetic soul as myself. She loves to love and has a bit of fight in her herself (laughs) . She is very charitable too!

She sometimes likes my other Cousin, but honestly Gaul should look harder at that consuming monster (Americana). I have ate a few fish suppers in my time but I'm nothing like Her ... I don't think Americana lives right, although she is very quick to tell everyone she 'is right all the time'. 'Americana's way', well it wouldn't do for me. I would go about vexed all the time, and then I'm just looking for a fight. Gaul is different ... like me in battles ... we choose our fights and then only fight evil. I remember when she asked me for help when were both broke, six years of fighting, but we still won. (fond smile)


: what happened? (flow straight no stopping}!

I got greedy in life. It is a true regret of mine.

Alba starts to break down with tears}!all one flow}!

I lost my mind for a split second and married him. There's more ... not 10 years thence I warred with Her. How shameful am I. It was money, even in truth I was in two minds about it, and I wish I had listened to my gut. I thought after I married him my doubts would go away but they never did. I always secretly knew.

: and of your hobbies?

I write Poetry renowned the world over. Not for a wee while, but I keep my hand in. I love God. I am a liar before Him but not anyone else. I try my hardest not to lie to myself and I hope I do a good job.

Money is a sore topic with me just now so can we avoid that for just now?. But I used to know what I was doing. (glum half smile)

I am still good with either paintbrush or play. Although ... I wish I could create new buildings like I used to. That's been over 100 years, I need to 'brush up'. (laughs) I used to like making my own cloths but he put a stop to that. Maybe I could have copied Gaul.. I don't know.

:do your Cousins share your interests?

I suppose we all like politics. I haven't heard from Kernow for a few years, but the last time was a fond memory. She was telling me how she would like a separation like me ... it was good to see her happy again ... has that been ten years? How time flies but never stops...

:fade to black}!

on Independence : Scotland to England I want a divorce!

I gave you the best years (inventions) of my life: you gave me nukes. I was crying out for help (Jobs) you gave me a tyrant (Thatcher)

I am not bitter as I remember the good days (Victorian era) we helped people, now all you do is make war with our Cousin against innocents. You do not stand up to her because you are greedy now. All I want is peace and you will not listen! It is the tyrant all over again!

You were always generous with me, but when I came into money, (oil) all you did was complain that I would leave you, instead of fixing the problems I had.

We collapsed the banks by overspending. We are in debt. How can I stand the shame?

I am Scotland who is frugal with money and wise.

When I invest I stand firm, but all this was foolish desire that YOU and our Cousin taught me.

I am mortified to say I have forgotten how to save money. A ruinous storm has passed through me. There may be another still, unless I remember. My banks are ENGLISH. Oh woe is me!! I founded your bank of England: now I am in shame, sorrow and ruin.

May God Save me! At least I hope you have not taught me to be secular! May God save me from this also! I am the Daughter of the Church. I have The Zeal of God against evil, and in the good times you were a good man, but now you are greedy, I cannot bear you who made me ruined.

You did not care who I was, Wise Holy Poetic Brave, just to use me as you pleased. That is not love. That is abuse.

You are so strong with our Cousin, that I hardly ever talk to my relatives (Ireland Canada Norway) because you are so busy making war, spending money you do not have.

I said twice to you I do not want to make war. Once should be sufficient!

This trial separation has failed and the damage is unrepairable. Fare thee well for every good time and God Bless you for every curse.

(If I am called bitter, I mention not that you told me how to speak and what to wear, but remain silent as this is what you taught me. God forgive me.)

My Second Cousin France will not even speak to me any more but I hope in Her softer moments she remembers when we fought off tyrants together, but alas!




PS looking for an actress to play Alba. I am from Dumbarton and it would be done in a Youtube webcam interview style. I have no cash, so just me asking the questions and a webcam.

E'ire tha daonnan dlùth, agus bidh mi gu tric a 'faicinn agus a' smaoineachadh Norge 'b' urrainn dhomh gun a bhith toilichte, ... mura robh mi a phòs e '. Norge a tha daonnan a 'gàireachdainn a deidhinn fhèin. Chan eil beachd carson. (Gàireachdainn)

: Agus do dàrna cho-ogha. Tha i le aois a tha thu ... tha sin ceart?

Bha sinn as fheàrr caraidean airson iomadh bliadhna. Bhiodh sinn a 'bruadar, ag ràdh, "Dh'fhaodadh sinn a dhèanamh pàrras air an talamh agus bhiodh sinn a' ghairm e Caledonia '. Tha i làn gràis agus greadhnachas, agus a 'roinn an aon anam bàrdail mar mi fhìn. Thug ia gaol a ghràdhachadh, agus tha beagan ann an sabaid rithe fhèin (gàireachdainn). Tha i glè carthannais cuideachd!

I uaireannan toigh mo eile Cousin, ach trèibhdhireas Gaul bu chòir coimhead nas cruaidhe aig a 'caitheamh uilebheist (americana). Tha mi air a dh'ith beagan èisg suipearan ann mo àm ach tha mi dad mar Her ... chan eil mi a 'smaoineachadh americana a' fuireach làimh dheis, ged a tha i glè luath gu innse h-uile duine i 'na h-uile a tha ceart an àm.' 'Americana dòigh', gu math e nach dèanadh dhomh. Bhithinn a 'falbh a h-uile buaireadh mu an àm, agus an uair sin tha mi dìreach a' coimhead airson sabaid. Gaul tha eadar-dhealaichte ... mar rium ann cathan ... bidh sinn a 'taghadh againn sabaid agus an uair sin a-mhàin a' sabaid olc. Tha cuimhn 'agam nuair a bha i ag iarraidh orm airson cuideachadh nuair a bha an dà chuid bhris, sia bliadhna de shabaid, ach tha sinn fhathast a bhuannaich. (Dèidheil gàire)


: dè thachair? (A 'sruthadh dìreach eil stad}!

Sanntach a fhuair mi anns a 'bheatha. 'S e fìor aithreachais dhòmhsa.

Alba a 'tòiseachadh a' briseadh sìos le deoir}! H-uile aon sruth}!

Chaill mi m 'inntinn airson priobadh agus phòs e. Tha barrachd ... nach eil 10 bliadhna as a sin mi warred còmhla rithe. Ciamar cùis nàire am I. Bha e airgead, fiù 's ann am firinn a bha mi ann an dà inntinnean mu dheidhinn, agus tha mi guidhe Bha mi ag èisteachd ri mo Gut. Tha mi a 'smaoineachadh an dèidh dhomh a phòs e mo teagamhan a' falbh ach nach do rinn iad. Tha mi an còmhnaidh dìomhair eòlach.

: Agus cur-seachadan agad?

Tha mi a 'sgrìobhadh bàrdachd ainmeil air an t-saoghal thairis. Neo airson treis, ach tha mi a 'cumail mo làmh ann. Tha mi a Dia a ghràdhachadh. Tha mi breugach roimhe ach chan eil duine sam bith eile. Mi a 'feuchainn mo chuid bu duilghe nach eil a luidhe gu mi-fhìn agus tha mi an dòchas gum bi mi a' dèanamh obair mhath.

Airgead 'S e cuspair goirt maille rium dìreach a-nis, mar sin is urrainn dhuinn a sheachnadh gun airson dìreach a-nis ?. Ach tha mi air a chleachdadh a-mach dè a bha mi a 'dèanamh. (Glum leth-gàire)

Tha mi fhathast math le bruis pheanta an dàrna cuid no a 'cluiche. Ged a tha mi a 'guidhe ... b' urrainn dhomh a chruthachadh togalaichean ùra mar mi cleachdte ris. Tha sin air a bhith còrr is 100 bliadhna, a dh'fheumas mi a 'sguabadh suas'. (Gàireachdainn) Tha mi air a chleachdadh gus dèanamh toigh leam fhìn clobhdan ach chuir e stad air a sin. 'S dòcha gum b' urrainn dhomh a bhith a lethbhreacadh Gaul .. chan eil fhios agam.

: Tha do Cousins ​​roinn ùidhean agad?

Mi a 'creidsinn sinn uile mar poilitigs. Chan eil mi air cluinntinn bho Kernow airson bliadhna no dhà, ach an uair mu dheireadh a bha dèidheil air chuimhne. Bha i ag innse dhomh mar a tha i ag iarraidh dealachaidh coltach riumsa ... bha e math a 'faicinn a h toilichte a-rithist ... Tha a bhith deich bliadhna? Ciamar àm cuileagan ach cha-stad ...

We are Auld.. Properly Auld 18th July 2014


David Shaw 18 July 11:44
Ah jist w'ant tae say a few things hope yez will indulge me, kindly.

We are auld.. properly auld.. We are the only wan o' two nations to beat oot the Roman's, the other being the Mongol Empire made up of China, Mongolia and the mid-rif between Asia and and Russia, few more countries there..how did we do it? well, .. it was an unfamiliar tactic to the Romans, we thought to ourselves: hide in a tree, jump doon, kill ten o them before they kill me!.. that's just good maths!..it illustrates oor point of sheer defiance, selflessness to freedom and our irrepressible nature we hold as Scots. The Romans had no tactic to counter ours, even though they had defeated every other nation in Europe, we could not be subjected, they gave up trying & we won.

Scotland traditionally does *not* believe in a large armed force, but we find better skill in'a small band weh a strict and disciplined agenda. Fae the crack Highland Regiments to the SAS, we are known to be hardy and professional, in an employ where most throughout the world fail this combination. It saddens me that even though we do well to produce such secretly covert talented individuals, the budget for the whole of Scotland during this *devolution* is 30 billion.. and Westminster attributes 60 billion for the armed forces alone..double..wow. I will support scottish troops whenever I can with a kind word, and when politicians puff up their cheeks looking for war a' becuase they watched a docudrama on Churchill, i'll speak out tell them 'NANE O' OOR BUSINESS! we'r no interested!'

It took 30 years to move 200 billion tons of oil from the north sea, an independent survey says there is 980 billion tons left.. we are trying to get it out as quick as we can, so aw' ye doubters kin be correct, but that might take another 30 to 50 years! we take 1/5th of the profits of the oil companies.. they make around 1000 billion a year and we take 1/5th 200 billion.. where does that go?? on nonsense wars to please American politicians. so back home we suffer, instead of paying the people, we get 'oh your bru-moneys getting cut' find a job! which is fair enough if you can work, you should! but rem this.. the price of food and energy has been so high for almost ten years now, it's shocking! high VAT..no wait DICK TURPIN levels of VAT!.. then.. why not tax business's less
and keep them here..or better still.. do what we were born for.. 1 engineering 2. arts 3. finance
where are the industries we created in the first place??

ooft av wrote enough tae make ma'ain heed spin.
free electricity
free local transport
free us!

Currency 6 Aug 2014

Jist w'ant tae say.. our twin sister Ireland's Punt was six years in the make, before then they used the pound, and still did, without the consent of the UK, for another 70 years. If we are going to eventually have our own currency, the rUK being friendly to us now, means we don't just skip out on the national debt, if they are not friendly,.. then we just simply leave and forget. end of. I think we need a guarantor, perhaps.. Canada, Norway, those who know we are good for the money, and already we have akin to.. we know and trust. a 10 year stop gap while we get a divorce and set our house in order.. what do women do when this happens? they contact their family, relay the information and make request for their needs, and this is what we need to do. Both Canada and Norway have oil like us.. so already they know the value of it, they know we have it, so they know how much we can pay back in what terms, .. and hopefully auld ties weh our Daughter Canada and our Half Sister Norway, still means something. contact our Relatives Canada, Norway, France, New Zealand, tell them we're divorcing Him .. bit of help would be appreciated, I am wealthy, and I will repay. .. just some thoughts there.

Stuck to the Side of a Rock.. 31st July 2014

Hi..
Just want to share a few thoughts and feelings I have hope that's okay.
We in Scotland are a small population, so for a few years yet, it's struck me as odd, why we seem live on top of each other in small houses or small flats, I live in Dumbarton, and one day in 2009, I was looking at Dumbarton in Google Earth, and I thought 'Why are we all huddled together, as if, barnacles on the edge of a rock? there's plenty of land.' today I thought about this yet again, and have thought about it from time to time before today, of course much is farmland, but can't we spread out build bigger more spacious houses? understandably this would be costly, and only many years after a successful prosperous national bank balance..but I would like to see..
These new houses offered to the people who have jobs but still qualify for housing benefit, this I think is a great incentive to stop taking benefits (JSA) and start giving tax. not every job will pay for everything in your life, and the people trying very hard to get a 'leg up' should be helped.
I'd like to see once they had a surefoot and cleared themselves of our helping housing benefit, a rent-to-own scheme being offered to them.. this is the kind of thing we need in this country, our country, a growth of the middle class, an actual reason to build and expand, I mean a small flat is a small incentive, a larger house where 'we' can stretch our LONG legs.. is a castle. The flats need not rashly knocked down, but kept for the older folk, whose needs they already suit perfectly.
Harshly, sadly, but who would want to strive to have a 'small' house, what incentive is that? all of our houses are so very tiny, even the large ones, they are the back catalogue of past governments attempts of shaping how we live.. once a success ..now I feel, a failure, becuase we are so many years on, and builders just build what they know how to, and no bad to them. in the US and Canada they learned how to build big and economically, .. here as yet, we've not.
Mandatory solar panel roofs on all new buildings, entirely made from solar panels. (IRC even a 30% light of day for 3 years can pay for the panels themselves..meaning they were free, and the rest is profit).
Some ideas other than housing..
Perhaps sooner..
I would like to see free local transport for towns of a overground tram style system, but buses would be good too, but with trams, they could be set aside, off road like trains, and automated. And in the cities making the Underground free to use.
I would like to see the day where we all have free electricity, no child will ever go blue in the cold again, no older person will have to freeze in our harsh winters for *fear of watching the dial*, no mother will have to think about washing clothes in cold water, and.. fathers will not feel so much pressure and perhaps be happier in their work knowing their family is safe.
We would pay a utility bill once a year because there would be running costs, I suggest, an adequate amount would be 1 week's pay of the average wage.
An *almost* open door attitude to immigration.. We are much more friendly a nation to other countries I feel, especially to the Asian and Arab races, than our southern neighbour, but something kept coming up when talking to others about this issue, integration, we don't want isolated communities but a society where everyone pulls in the same direction, kindly 'you're Scots now, be proud!'. I would like to see the easy joining of man and wife from different countries, in Scotland, but if the marriage is no good, deportation, paid for out of a reserve that is part of the process once the spouse is working in the country. I would like to see consulates take a more active role abroad in joining two people who love each other. We have this opportunity that we will be branching out soon, God Willing, and then building our own Consulates and Embassies.
A MODERN GLOBAL FORWARD THINKING COUNTRY!
not tied to the past like the tories seem to be, like england always seems to be.. the grim death grip on the cobwebs of being an empire.
may the day huv fun' ye well!

A Slice of Legend & Imagination.. 6th June 2014

A Slice of Legend..maybe my imagination? who knows?

I pieced together a story at the time these events were happening, during the 1990's..Russia was much different then.

In the 90's, Russia was and still had a internal war of self-identity, Boris Yeltsin was in-charge, but again Russia was a different place back then. The 90's was different, Bush Sr. had started a war with the Iraqis over oil and money, and Iraq is close enough to Russia for them to be worried. But that's not what happened.

Once upon a time, Russia was in financial chaos, they had spent too much money on objects of war, and now with the cold war ended, those things started to seem obsolete, and the people found it hard to get food, becuase of an inward collapsing economy. The Russian Secret Service was unhappy with Mr. Yeltsin's attempts at a freer market, and break RF apart, wow! He restructured the whole economy advised by western economists, from 1991 to 1993.. well I *think* the KGB freaked out, and started thinking 'we need to get rid of this guy'.. the events of the siege are well told and well known but if you afford me a little indulgence here is my version rem'd from bits and pieces watched one night on sky news.

Mr. Yeltsin was trapped inside the Russian White House, outside was the military, firing shells from tanks, inside many police were coming to capture and/or kill him, he had only a few loyal KGB..outside there were students protesting..saying he was going to bring peace and not to kill him. One of the students had a brother who was a soldier, she managed to get through and tell him all about Yeltsin and his plans for Russia being democratic, increasing the economy, while this was happening, the police had broken the lines of defence inside the RWH and were making their way to the central office where Mr. Yeltsin was, after the soldier had heard from his sister, he started letting the other troops know..they decided to side with Mr. Yeltsin, they stopped firing shells, sent a party to sneak him out, as the police and some KGB got to the main office Mr. Yeltsin was..gone..He was outside sitting in a tank and knowing the people he cared about were safe, he started shelling the main office.

I've got a good imagination huh? hahah..but hey it is what it is!

Quite different to the war criminal the 'other side' had.. God's goiny cut him down one day..and no amount of money will buy *that* guy out, oil or no oil.

America had a war criminal and they didn't put him in jail..oohhww.. thats..*not* new.
Nixon
Bush sr

When will america learn you need at least a 3 party system, 4 is *healthy* way to do it though, 3 is quite bad, 2 party is not a democracy, if you went to McDonalds and they had only two burgers..would you go back?? 4 is a resounding choice.

Mr. Yeltsin went through all that to bring peace and democracy to his country.. the US gov..just keeps repeating that American's already have it. they dont. mind washed into 'that would be wasted vote'.. I voted SNP all my life, when I started voting, the Labour supporters used to say that to me, wasted vote, now only 20 years later.. Alex Salmond is in power bringing the democracy he impassioned others to feel!

peace!


Feeling a Little 'National' 28 May 2014





feelin' a little National just now.. read don't read..up to you.

in the late nineties a war was raging.. scottish/british troops were sent to fight in an american war, the war was to control the price of oil. you could say many other things and debate what the war was about, but plain and simple it was about money. the only member of the Westminster parliament out of 3-500 members to oppose the war.. was Alex Salmond . he took loads of stick for it, becuase at the time, no-one wanted to lower troop morale or upset the americans. I don't have any problem with soldiers, they are doing a job, many do a fine job at that, I have a problem with politicians starting wars.. and this one was 'doozy'.. the former head of the CIA.

Scottish/British soldiers lives were lost, many severely injured. back home there was 3 different 'million man marches' 2 of which were in Glasgow and iirc, the other was in Manchester. This was a demonstration for a desire for peace. but a standard 'ignore them, until they go away' was the response.

Our budget in Scotland ..for the whole of Scotland for everything is half what westminster spends on the military every year. (here's some figures. Westminster spends 57.6 Billion a year. Scotland's budget is approx. 30 Billion a year. source wiki.) .. mmm... I don't care about chasing osama bin towelhat racists nonsense. some arabs are bad, yes. many are just regular people just trying to have a job and feed their family and live normal lives.

When the first troops hit down in Iraq, it was crazy.. there was rioting, and even the innocent people trying to leave looked also like looters, with all their possessions, the soldiers didn't know who was who, who would hurt them and who would help them.

I would guess if one of your family members was one of the innocent people trying to leave and was shot by an american soldier.. you'd be pretty ticked off! so it's no wonder the rebels found it easy to continue for all those years. money also they had loads of cash.. strangely enough coming from america. but that's a whole other story.

if Scotland was America's mother, I'd be ashamed to call Her my Daughter. She lacks the compassion we have here.. it is written on the Statue of Liberty..'bring me your poor, your homeless, your tired and hungry.. and I will feed them' .. an ideal which no longer rings true for Her, especially when it came to money and war for twenty years.

I'm no 'tinfoil hat guy' but its easy to see why, the former head of the CIA would want to jack up the budget towards the armsmakers after Reagan and Gorbachev made all that peace so long ago.

but back to home.. and to now.

We have a plentiful supply of money.. and many are afraid to tell you in case you don't believe them ...how is this?? we have a population of less than 6 million. GDP..that means per head we will be rich.. flip even if we just had whisky exports we'd do 'O.K.' but yes we have the most coveted resource in the world, oil. Scotland earns 200 billion a year in tax from oil...oh wait remember that budget.. 30 billion? .. the oil fields earn the companies 1 trillion a year, and yes we tax them into the ground by taking 1/5th from them.

but all the politicians including the SNP are a little cagey saying this to you as it looks a bit unbelievable, but its the actual truth.

I want to be EU friendly, I want to come to the party and eat the cake and sing the songs and give little gift, but I don't want to be the kitchen staff or the DJ.

I'd love to see us (if need be).. take that (medium amount) oil money and pour it into Gold and Silver.. this would back our economy and help us have our own currency.

'but the oil fields are going to stop soon' .. it took 30 years to move 500 million tons of oil out of the north sea for production, in a survey in 2012 it was estimated that another 980 million tons remain.. we are trying to get it out as fast as we can here..but maybe it'll be few years yet until this blessing leaves us. (source wiki)

I think we perhaps subconsciously feel, that without oil, we are admitting to other countries we have no intrinsic value as a people. That's not correct. We invented many many a thing that changed the world.. and why we do not make those very things in our own country is a mystery for the ages.

thanks for reading if you did.. and if you didn't,.. you didn't miss much, only the future.

The Lord Advocate states that the bill given for ascent was ‘within the competence of the Scottish Parliament’ except one part of that bill, and Westminster passed a law despite the above of not having consent.

Answered a comment on overrepresentation in Scotland:
This is actually 
true.

But there’s something you may not be aware of [redacted].. it's actually for past evils. Scotland was under represented from 1707 to 1885 when the population had shifted in England significantly (from 1707) and the seats had been increased in Scotland to 72 seats for a population I would estimate of approx. 4 million for England's 452 seats and population of around 25 million.

This is the closest we got to a fair representation for population in Scotland but I note England took 2 extra seats for itself. (see maths)

Of course population is exponential not incremental (expedential), it can easily double the double of the initial amount.

Scotland and England in 1707, Scotland’s population of 1 million to England’s 5 million. Scotland got 45 seats. England retained a staggering 486 seats.

Post 1885 England’s population started justifying those seats, while due to many factors, Scotland population stayed mild.

see here:

Number of Westminster MPs - Wikipedia
Demography of England - Wikipedia
Demographic history of Scotland - Wikipedia

1707
1 million = 45
5 million divided by 1 = 5
5 x 45 =225
Result= 486 seats for England.

1885

4 million = 72 seats
25 million divided by 4 million = 6.25
6.25 x 72 =450
Result: 452 seats for England.

From Wikipedia on Scotland’s population “With a population of 4.8 million in 1911” .. so at least, its a low ball figure of 4 million in 1885. Any more population and we should have had more representation in Scotland or decreased representation in England..
