Okay, so, I suck and didn't get onto my Yahoo Email last night to start checking it. And I won't be on tonight either, so won't that be a pleasant surprise for me on Thursday?

NOTE TO SELF: do not leave inbox unattended for long periods of time


Ooh, on an up note HMV have a summer sale going until the end of August and they're selling the Buck Rogers boxsets for £22.99 *squee* Must buy! :p


Also, we were debating the Scottish National Anthem voting (as pimped by the lovely nimoloth) in the office this morning and we've decided that it should be Donald Whaur's Yer Troosers?

I mean, how hilarious would it be to have the words 'Ye cannae get the breeks off a Hieland man' in our national anthem?!

And just for kicks, here are the lyrics! :p

Donald Whaur's Yer Troosers?

1. I've just come down from the Isle of Skye,
I'm no very big an' I'm awfy shy,
And the lassies shout when I go by
"Hey Donald, whaur's yer troosers?"

Chorus:
Let the winds blow high, let the winds blow low
Through the streets in ma kilt I go.
All the lassies shout "Hello,
hey Donald, whaur's yer troosers?"

2. A lassie took me tae a ball
And it was slippery in the hall
And I was feared that I would fall
For I hadnae on ma troosers.

3. I once went down tae London town
And I had some fun on the Underground -
a lady bent down tae pick up half a crown and said
"Donald, where are your trousers?"*

4. The lassies want me, everyone
Just let them catch me if they can -
Ye cannae get the breeks off a Hieland man,
And I don't wear ma troosers.

5. I had a cold and ma nose was raw
I hadnae handkercheif at a'
So I lifted up ma kilt just tae give it a blaw
WHEW, DONALD, WHAUR'S YER TROOSERS?

6. Tae wear the kilt is my delight,
And it's not wrong, I know it's right.
How the folks back home would get a fright
If they saw me wearin' troosers

* The lady's words here should be sung in best posh English accent to
contrast with the Scots in the rest of the song.





Heh, I just love the note at the end about singing in the posh English accent! Hee!

Other ideas to add to the poll were 500 Miles, by the Proclaimers and Bonnie Banks O' Loch Lomond.

Actually, that's what the debate originally started with; what is, officially, the current national anthem? I was convinced it was Scotland the Brave, but Mike and Pat both say we don't have one, hence the voting. Which just sounds wrong to me.
