Thread: This is not fair!

Ah, the pipes. The pipes calling the clans to arms and chanting of war. Stirring the blood of all the Scots swaddies. The Argylls wrecking the taverns, the Highland Light Infantry bashing the provosts, the First of Foot polishing their egos, and the 42nd. sending out press releases from their PR Agency.

Can you imagine what it must have been like outside Edinburgh Castle a couple of years back when they had 5000 pipers playing at the tattoo? Pure magic

Scots blood? Mrs. Numpty, how many verses of "The Ball at Kerrymuir" can you sing? The record is in the fifties. Contributions please, from AULRO members.

In fine scots tradition I can name my forebears back 8 generations

The first traditionally starts:-

To the Ball at Kerriemuir, the Ball at Kerriemuir,
Came five an twenty lassies, and everyone a wh**e,
etc.

The chorus goes

There was sh***ing in the barn,
There was sh***ig the ricks
And ye could nae hear the music for the swishing a' the p****ks

I will talk to yours about the bag pipes if you talk to mine about the unimog

Brian its actually "Kirriemuir"
and that's not the chorus

You'll have to stretch the brain further

The Vicar's daughter, she was there,
She had us all in fits,
with thistles around her ?
and clover round her ?


Next verse someone.
