    So what are those words mean anyway?

            Midsummer!

            Isn't that when all the nutters come out to kill each other off, because they wanted a family inheritance, or their mistress got around too much, etc!


            That might be in England only? :rolleyes:


            Yep, don't go near English villages in Midsummer, it can turn into a bloodbath!!!!

        Ah, yes, the Aberdeen shopping center in Richmond, BC. Popular with Chinese Canadian in Vancouver and Richmond, apparently popular with Scottish people too.

                            OMGosh! The nostalgia of it all!

                            Reading through this thread reminded me of a story my mom used to read to us when we were wee little ones.

                            It was called The Wee Wee Mannie.

                            It went like this:

                            ONCE upon a time, when all big folks were wee ones and all lies were true, there was a wee, wee Mannie that had a big, big Coo. And out he went to milk her of a morning, and said --

                            'Hold still, my Coo, my hinny,
                            Hold still, my hinny, my Coo,
                            And ye shall have for your dinner
                            What but a milk white doo.'

                            But the big, big Coo wouldn't hold still. 'Hout!' said the wee, wee Mannie --

                            'Hold still, my Coo, my dearie,
                            And fill my bucket wi' milk,
                            And if ye'll be no contrairy
                            I'll gi'e ye a gown o' silk.'

                            But the big, big Coo wouldn't hold still. 'Look at that, now!' said the wee, wee Mannie --

                            'What's a wee, wee mannie to do,
                            Wi' such a big contrairy Coo?'

                            So off he went to his mother at the house. 'Mother,' said he, 'Coo won't stand still, and wee, wee Mannie can't milk big, big Coo.'

                            'Hout!' says his mother, 'take stick and beat Coo.'

                            So off he went to get a stick from the tree, and said --

                            'Break, stick, break,
                            And I'll gi'e ye a cake.'

                            But the stick wouldn't break, so back he went to the house.

                            'Mother,' says he, 'Coo won't hold still, stick won't break, wee, wee Mannie can't beat big, big Coo.'

                            'Hout!' says his mother, 'go to the Butcher and bid him kill Coo.'

                            So off he went to the Butcher, and said --

                            'Butcher, kill the big, big Coo,
                            She'll gi'e us no more milk noo.'

                            But the Butcher wouldn't kill the Coo without a silver penny, so back the Mannie went to the house. 'Mother,' says he, 'Coo won't hold still, stick won't break, Butcher won't kill without a silver penny, and wee, wee Mannie can't milk big, big Coo.'

                            'Well,' said his mother, 'go to the Coo and tell her there's a weary, weary lady with long yellow hair weeping for a sup o' milk.'

                            So off he went and told the Coo, but she wouldn't hold still, so back he went and told his mother.

                            'Well,' said she, 'tell the Coo there's a fine, fine laddie from the wars sitting by the weary, weary lady with golden hair, and she weeping for a sup o' milk.'

                            So off he went and told the Coo, but she wouldn't hold still, so back he went and told his mother.

                            'Well,' said his mother, 'tell the big, big Coo there's a sharp, sharp sword at the belt of the fine, fine laddie from the wars who sits beside the weary, weary lady with the golden hair, and she weeping for a sup o' milk.'

                            And he told the big, big Coo, but she wouldn't hold still.

                            Then said his mother, 'Run quick and tell her that her head's going to be cut off by the sharp, sharp sword in the hands of the fine, fine laddie, if she doesn't give the sup o' milk the weary, weary lady weeps for.'

                            And wee, wee, Mannie went off and told the big, big Coo.

                            And when Coo saw the glint of the sharp, sharp sword in the hand of the fine, fine laddie come from the wars, and the weary, weary lady weeping for a sup o' milk, she reckoned she'd better hold still; so wee, wee Mannie milked big, big Coo, and the weary, weary lady with the golden hair hushed her weeping and got her sup o' milk, and the fine, fine laddie new come from the wars put by his sharp, sharp sword, and all went well that didn't go ill.



                            No she wasn't Scottish, she was half Cherokee Indian and half Czechoslovakian. But she believed in sharing stories from all around the world with us.

                              Yes, most software gets updated to that new crappy flash version; Adwords did it, and it wasn't too bad, but this is a step down!

                              I hope that they at least put the old smilys back again, these are hard to see, and they may save memory, but are seriously crap to put it mildly!


                              I could cope with everything else, l guess, but not the smileys!

    BOOK --- Who Are The SCOTCH
    (A very PATRIOTIC title, indeed........),
    published, 1880, declared *********

    "The ancient Scotia was Ireland, and the Irish were known in early history as Scots."

    "...the word Scot means wanderer."

    Then he quotes somebody ---
    "Is it by any means probable that a small band of emigrants landing in Scotland from Ireland in 503
    could have been able, in the year 843, to overthrow a kingdom
    that had successfully resisted the Roman armies???"

    [[[Scottish Warriors, Absolutlie]]]

    "The early Scottish kings were reported to be of the Irish northern Hy Niall line of chiefs."

    Then he quotes another somebody ---
    "the Scoto-Irish colonists overspread the Western Isles and Highlands
    ...introduced their own language and customs."

    "But there are strong opinions entertained on the other side that the
    Scots were aborigines of Scotland, and, in all probability, that they settled in Ireland."

    Quoting somebody who took that stand ---
    "that the Irish dressed differently from the Scots ;
    used the target, sword, and dirk, instead of the bow, spear, and javelin ;
    wore plaids, and not pantaloons and cloaks."

    "The Scots of Albany or Scotland called themselves Gwyddel, woodlanders."

    "A connection, intimate and continued, did exist between north-east Ireland and south-west Scotland."

    "the title of Dalriads or Scots came to be applied indifferently to both sides of the water."

    "Certainly no writer used the word Scotia for Albany, instead of Ireland, till the eleventh century."

    "The Kingdom of Scotia was inaugurated by Malcolm in 1005."



    There are other topics that will be declared (from the other chapters);
    this posting is about setting the foundation of SCOTIA.........

      You could go further than that. Look up your family tree. Chances are that there was at least one Scot behind the Oat Mill so to speak. Then, based on that, you could look up relatives on Scotland and awkwardly hug them like long lost family, wear Scottish tartan everywhere (even on your dog), play bagpipe music, adopt a Scottish burr in your vernacular (driving your wife and daughter nuts).

          YOU should read that book.........

          ---A bloodie English king went totallie against interest of Scotia;
          This was followed by the English ruining Darien which would have been a success;
          This was followed by the English bringing about the wickedness that took place at Glencoe
          [Clan M'Donald(fast food folk) against Clan Campbell(the soups folk)];
          This was followed by the English stealing Sovereigntie from Scottish folk

          and have been against SCOTCH anything; aint nothing new under thee sun.........

          YOU should read that book; indeed ---------
          folk throughout the whole wide world; it gives the
          quintessential definition of patriotism and reading
          about the warriors who went about declaring and defending.........

          YOU should read that book.........
