No,I wasnt suggesting that.The article from the Telegraph that you posted is making something out of nothing:"wades into independence row".Come on thats bollocks.I was just pointing out how scottish she is ,she just doesnt play the bagpipes but competes at the world championships,plays golf and curling all scottish games,she has a calendar photo with a Saltire.It not hard to guess what she is going to vote for at the referendum.As I said she is just being diplomatic.By the way the Telegraph is sometimes known as the Torygraph in some parts of Scotland:)
Really the Telegraph is known as the Torygraph. Thanks for your special Scottish insight on that. |

Honestly, you would think the Scots were the only country to have bagpipes.

We all got together again 20 years later, this time in Baja California, where the drummer had settled in the meantime. The bass guitarist joined us from Hawaii, the lead vocalist from San Francisco, all with their kids (mine too). The lead guitar, still living in the place we had all met 20 years earlier, showed up with bagpipes. Incredible, but true. |
