Re: 'Born & Bred' ..... Where?

I was born in Falkirk . . . which makes me a Falkirk Bairn . . . and a dedicated Scot who wants my country's independence from England.

Re: 'Born & Bred' ..... Where?

Most people up North want that too Getting it however is another matter.

Re: 'Born & Bred' ..... Where?

Have some faith Roxy . . . everything comes to those who wait . . . trouble is we've been waiting 300 years . . . . but Alex has a cunning plan . . . . wait and see.

Re: 'Born & Bred' ..... Where?

Alex Salmond for President!!!!

Re: 'Born & Bred' ..... Where?

I know Alex has been going on about giving us all a Vote about it....But I saw on the News that Westminster was jumping up and down about it......determind to stop it at all costs.

Re: 'Born & Bred' ..... Where?

Westminster is terrified about our independence . . . who the hell do they think they are . . . . we're members of Europe therefore if us Scots wake up and say enough is enough and vote for our freedom, we'll get it . . . Alex aint no mug though . . . he'll bide his time and leave the crucial referendum until the last year of this office then go for it . . . by that time this "government" will have sunk us into the mire so deep pehaps people up here will vote for separation.

There will always be the hangers-on up here licking the butts down there but those types are not true Scots are they.

Re: 'Born & Bred' ..... Where?

Lol, Nope your dead right. My man Duncan is Highland to the core and very Fierce about it. He's like a throw back to those 16th centuary Highlanders who did a lot of the fighting for Scotlands Independance. He's 6ft of muscle with the dark brown shoulder length hair....All that's missing is the War Braids platted into it.

Re: 'Born & Bred' ..... Where?

Scotlands greatest hero, Sir William Wallace, is a great hero of Tony Robinson too . . . he's the English chap who goes on archaeological digs all around Britain . . (Baldrick in Blackadder) . . . Tony said at the end of a program he made called "Braveheart" that Sir William was a man centuries before his time in regard to what Sir William said . . . "that no one should be a slave to others or any other country".

Today, after nearly 900 years, they call that civil rights . . .

Re: 'Born & Bred' ..... Where?

Yes I know who you mean....I like that kind of TV Programme. I watch Eden, Discovery, and The Nation Geo Channels a lot. I also adore Neil Olivers Voice lol. I could listen to him talk for ages. I met him once when he was doing a talk at the local Libraray and he signed my book of History of Scotland for me. I'd taken it along in the hope of Buttonholeing him.

Re: 'Born & Bred' ..... Where?
