Wink Flower of Scotland my fecking ****

Due to working, I have neglected my front garden for the past couple of weeks or so. I have just been out to clear up what I thought would be a few weeds & found a thistle FIVE & A HALF FOOT TALL lurking behind one of the bigger shrubs. A fortnight ago the only thing there was a dandelion which I dug up and salted.

The Order of the Thistle represents the highest honour in Scotland, and it is second in the UK, after the Order of the Garter. The date of the foundation of the Order is not known. It is possible that the Order may have been founded by James III (1488-1513), who was responsible for changes in royal symbolism in Scotland, including the adoption of the thistle as the royal plant badge.

You lot sayin the Queen has bad taste

I have to admit, that thistle costume is much better than the canary yellow number Her Majesty had on for trooping the colour last weekend!

You've got to admit though, if ever a national emblem suited a nation it's yours.

Once you've got 'em you cant get rid

They'll cling forever onto any scabby bit of rock

They're prickly ******* who spread like wildfire

It doesn't matter how much poison you put on them they don't die












Oh BTW

Just to show we English can poke fun at ourselves. If you trace the roots of morris dancing back, it was originally called Moorish dancing & was introduced by the returning crusaders.

So it pretty much sums up our natural trait too, i.e: If you turn your back on anything for a minute, the English'll nick it

Claire, women are just always wanting to know what's underneath and if you're a "real" scot. You'd need to be real ugly or English not to get some attention in a kilt.
