Yer wan on t' firs' buik cannae possibly be in Norn Iron nor Scotland, fer I kin see a blue sky behind yer mawn, an even a bluidy Yank sich as mesel' kens better than that.
Pull t'other yin, it's got bells on it, dude.
Naw, the photae was clearly tuk oan the Twelfth, fur its the Laird aways makes it sunny fur the march.
I have just linked to your blog from Iain Dale. I live in NI with Scots descendants ( my great grandparents on both sides came from Mull) and feel qualified to say this whole site and concept is pish.
You are entirely correct Anonymous, Pish indaid.
Thy'on is the concept.
What the hell are you all talking about old chaps? Well done on your poll result on Iain fookin' Dale's whatsitsshite! (We, Freedom To Choose, came 14th in the Libertarian section.)
Cheers an' congrats yersel Big Yin. Ah've oany wurked oot that we've bin placed. Ah must luk intil this further.
Ah micht start tae use "whole site and concept is pish." as an advertisin' slogan.
Congratulations Prof.
As any Ulsterman knows, there is nothing like a good Pish.
All the best

PS Prof, there is a pic of someone you may recognise on my site today.
I was thrilled to see that Tha Boord o Ulstèr-Scotch is shortly opening an office in Belfast.
Better still it's just a short walk away from a cafe where you can sit and read all those anthologies of Ulster Scots literature. You can't miss it. It's the one with all the photos of aborted fetuses outside.
Thanken ye John, Pish is indaid the highest accolade in Ulster Scotsness. I dae indaid recognise yer hen, Jaysus is awl ah kin say.
