DH and I did re-watch Trainspotting the other night as to get the lingo down right.
Hilarious albeit disturbing movie.

Begbie :eek: :cool:
C
the movie always makes me want to eat beans for breakfast :eek:
Flogging Molly is good trail running music. They are up there with Social Distortion as my favorite lower-key punk bands.Quote:

I'm sure wearing a T-shirt from an Irish punk band won't seem too odd. Let's ponder the all the cultural cross-threading going on here. Scottish woman in Seattle, hanging out (and presumably drinking) with a bunch of Yanks. At least one yahoo of undetermined heritage running around in a kilt made in the US, either tartan or an Olive Utilikilt. Also, there will be at least one person there born in Asia (unless I end up going alone).
Oh, and the common denominator is we all ride bikes. The first bike with cranks was invented by the French.
I'm sure I'm missing something, but that's a good start.
Sounds like a party to me.
Am actually going to NY in November to see Stiff Little Fingers which, despite their ages now, is kind of Irish punk. Have many SLF shirts.
Am still thinking of what I have that is Scottish.
Midge Ure! Got it.
a blast from the past...
"We're on the march with Ollie's Army
We're going to the Argentiiiiiiine
And we'll really shake them up
When we when the World Cup
Cause Scotland are the greatest football teeeeeeeeam"
and let's not forget:
"I want to be a punk rocker
but my mommy will nae let me,
she says if I'm a punk
She'll kill me, and hate me
I want to be a punk rocker
but I'm fraid to be a punk
cuz me mommy will nae let me be a punk"
And "Restless Natives" is a good way to get the accent... (hee hee!)
Finally have sitters nailed down, so Mr. Kiltiger will definitely be accompanying me. Yea!
Anyone living in the north end interested in carpooling (big van), pm me. We do turn into pumpkins at ~10:30, so be aware that we need to leave by 10pm.
I turn into a pumpkin at 10:30 because I get up for work at 5:30. She's usually on her second decaf cappucino happily web surfing. At least, I think that's what she's doing. I'm usually asleep.Quote:

One...two... three...and...
There was a cyclist, a Scotttish cyclist
Who cycled far away, and rode so far away
There was none bolder, nor heart-of-gold-er
Than Bruno 28 of Falkirk town
She's seen the flowers, at sunset hours
She's seen the cows a-graze thro' Scottish haze
And now she's flying, her heart is sighing
To meet the girls of Team Estrogen
[chorus] And they're TE girls, they're the greatest girls
Not just cycling girls, they're all-rounder girls
Forever these girls will be TE girls
One for all and all for one
There were some cyclists, Seattle cyclists
Who cycled far and wide, they rode so far and wide
There were none bolder, nor heart-of-gold-er
They rode on all the routes and cycled all the tracks
They've seen the grizzly, in weather drizzly (??!!)
They've seen the ducks in lines, above the pines
And now they're eating, and no doubt drinking
And Bruno 28 is there with them
[chorus] And they're TE girls...
Wish I was there to see if I could drink Bruno under the table.
You Americans haven't a chance! You need an ozzie or a kiwi to have a hope of out-drinking a Scot!
don't worry SG, i am home and in bed before 10pm. Talk about pumpkins! (Chickens!)
Great song Margo!
Here's one you can all practice

I made it to Calgary. Will be appearing in Seattle soon!
How about a good Canadian girl with a lot of Scottish Ancestry.Quote:
