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.

 

Was it waving a French flag?

 

LOL

 

I thought scottish flowers were pansies

 

I did too

 

Oi watch it. Harder than you southern, shandy drinking girl's blouses any day

 

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

 

She wasn't born then Jye, so it's nothing to do with her

 

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!

 

Duh! I know that, but she's wearing it now, hence why it's nailed to her in the piccie

 

Is this the English national dress?



Stefan

 

She could change it if she really wanted

 

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

 

PMSL ozzy!

 

I suppose that is marginally more masculine than wearing a skirt

 

The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh meet Allied Distillers employees at a whisky bottling plant in Dumbarton, 4 July 2003

One is not amused ajm

Yeah she should deffo have chosen the thistle garb, yellow just aint her colour

 

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

 

I can't tell whether or not the bloke she is shaking hands with is nice or not ..... Lynne, need your opinion!

 

Careful.....

LOL, I hope the bloke on the right's about to beat the **** out of him with that stick

Skirt, yes, but at least we've a set of bo!!ocks under them

 

Doesn't look bad Claire, looks masculine.... but who can tell nowadays

 

Don't you mean walnuts?

 

They shrink in the cold, that's my story anyhow

 

LOL. Never looked that closely m8

 

Shrink? Thats an understatement surely

 

Scottish women like men in kilts Nothing better than seeing a bloke walking down the road in traditional dress. Absolutely stunning

 

Could be worse, could've been described as pistachio nuts.

Aren't morriss dancers modern day Eunuch's?

 

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.

Even if he is a short git with a rank pair of legs

 

Scotland rules - THE END!!!
