OK thatıs it!! I put up with the Star Trek jokes but now its bagpipes.We're
only a small nation, around 5 million (in Scotland),we keep ourselves to
ourselves.You may come across some Scots in the more deprived areas of the
world carrying out missionary work Some of our number have felt obliged to
stay on in certain countries where we felt they would struggle with out us.
However everything changes from tomorrow.For the first time in almost 300 years
Scotland will elect its own parliament.At present Scots dominate the UK
parliament,an infiltration that the English seen to have missed,but from July
when the Scottish parliament takes power everything will change.This will be
the signal for Scots all over the world to take up their bagpipes and play for
world domination!!

OK so it's a boring day in work!
