If your Scottish read this its hilarious
I'm guessing its only us scots that will be able to translate this. its about the way the glasgow people react to disaster compared to the americans.
I got this from a weegie, and so I've had to tidy up the syntax so that's it's comprehensible.
Differences between American and weegie airport dramas:
America: Oh my God! There was a man on fire, he was running about; I just ran for my life. I thoughtI was gonna die, he got so close to me."
Weege: Bawbag wis running aboot on fire, so a ran up n gave him a good boot, then decked him.
America: I just wanna get home, away from here. I just wanna get home; I thought I was gonna die.
Weege: Here, shug, am no leaving here till am oan a *****in' plane!
America: There was pandemonium. People were running in all directions; we didn't know what was happening. Thought I was gonna die.
Weege: ***** this fir a kerry oan, moan we'll get a pint in.
America: We thought he was gonna blow us all up. He had a gas canister, and was trying to get into his trunk. I thought we were gonna die. I just ran for my life.
Weege: a swaggered by the motor that wis on fire, and the dafty couldnae even open his boot. He wis in fire annaw so a ran up n gave him a good boot to the baws.
America: There was this huge explosion. It sounded like war. I thought I was gonna die.
Weege: There wis a bang. Yi know when yi throw BO basher intae a fire? It wis like that.
America: I'm too traumatized even to speak; I thought I was gonna die.
Weege: Here, pal, gies 2 minutes till a phone ma auld dear. If a’m gonnae be oan the telly, a want her tae tape it.
And finally, from an eye-witness (this is real):
A weege did an interview on CNN, and they asked how he restrained the guy. He said "Me and other folk were just tryin to get the boot in and some other guy banjoed him.”
Hail Caledonia.
The last bit is actually true my wife saw it on the news
