I feel so proud

[Prickles]

So there were no cell nuclei before the Scots invented them?

That's nothing, man.

What was life like before Newton invented gravity? Imagine having to hang onto your laydee to stop her floating away.

They must have been crazy times, man, crazy times.

Isn't haggis just black pudding with a silly name? Equally revolting anyway.

[Peoplesoft bloke]

Isn't haggis just black pudding with a silly name? Equally revolting anyway.

No - they are both fabulous provided you go for quality, but totally different.

Isn't haggis just black pudding with a silly name? Equally revolting anyway.

No.

A haggis is all the bits of an animal you don't want to eat stuffed inside another bit you don't want to eat.

A black pudding is a huge scab.

Do NOT let Cailin Maith tell you about white pudding. Now that's really disgusting.

I used to have to make it, the day starts off with a delivery of a big bag of hearts, lungs and livers in blood. It kind of goes downhill from there.

So cyberdud is immensely proud of the fact that Haggis was hugely popular in England right up until the point that this deluded floozie first finds mention of it being hugely popular in Scotland. At which point, for no apparent reason it suddenly became hugely unpopular in England. The long winter nights must just fly by in Chez Cyberman.

I think he spends most of the time looking out of his windows to see if any of his neighbours have offended him.

The average Cyberman in the home he call his castle slips into his national costume, a shabby raincoat, patented by Chemist Charles Macintosh from Glasgow, Scotland.

En-route to his office he strides along the lane, surfaced by John Macadam of Ayr, Scotland.

He drives a car fitted with tyres invented by John Boyd Dunlop, Veterinary Surgeon of Dreghorn, Scotland.

At the office he receives the mail bearing adhesive stamps invented by John Chalmers, Bookseller and Printer of Dundee, Scotland.

During the day he uses the telephone invented by Alexander Graham Bell, born in Edinburgh, Scotland. At home in the evening his daughter pedals her bicycle invented by Kirkpatrick Macmillan, Blacksmith of Thornhill, Dumfriesshire, Scotland.

He watches the news on television, an invention of John Logie Baird of Helensburgh, Scotland, and hears an item about the U.S. Navy founded by John Paul Jones of Kirkbean, Scotland.


He has by now been reminded too much of Scotland and in desperation he picks up the Bible, only to find that the first man mentioned in the good book is a Scot, King James VI, who authorized its translation.

He could take to drink but the Scots make the best in the world.

He could take a rifle and end it all, but the breech-loading rifle was invented by Captain Patrick Ferguson of Pitfours, Scotland.

If he escaped death, he could find himself on an operating table injected with penicillin, discovered by Sir Alexander Fleming of Darvel, Scotland, and given chloroform, an anesthetic discovered by Sir James Young Simpson, Obstetrician and Gynecologist of Bathgate, Scotland.

Out of the anesthetic he would find no comfort in learning that he was as safe as the Bank of England founded by William Paterson of Dumfries, Scotland.

Last night I read that the word Tory comes from the followers of Charles II and means 'Irish Rebels' and Whigs were on the other side and means 'Thieving Scots.'

[wobbegong]

Come on now . . .

. . . own up. Whose sockys are 'Cyberman' and 'chetty?'
