Rock on!

Has to be The Proclaimers. I've met Craig and Charlie, lovely fellas and Sunshine on Leith is a GREAT tune. I only found out that 500 miles was a Thatcher protest song a month ago. Yet another reason to adore them

I only found out just now, when you told me! How? i can't remember the lyrics particularly, but thought it was a love song.

Cahill is a truly terrible "top-class" defender. To be done by the likes of Kenny Miller is an embarrassment.

Wrong thread Mr. Ball. But you are correct. This England team is a bit similar to our cricket team in the 90s.

Rats. I've stained my original and hilarious Brush Strokes referenced jape on this thread now.
Back on topic though, i was very surprised to find out that Jane, Ian Beale's wife number 8 or so, with the horrendously pointy nose, was in fact Scottish. I wonder if her enormously beefed up and islam-destroying gay brother knew.

Is it bollocks.





When I wake up, well, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you
When I go out, yeah, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
If I get drunk, well, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you
And if I haver, hey, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you

But I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door

When I'm working, yes, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's working hard for you
And when the money comes in for the work I do
I'll pass almost every penny on to you
When I come home (When I come home), oh, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who comes back home to you
And if I grow old, well, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's growing old with you

But I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door

Da lat da (Da lat da), da lat da (Da lat da)
Da-da-da dun-diddle un-diddle un-diddle uh da-da
Da lat da (Da lat da), da lat da (Da lat da)
Da-da-da dun-diddle un-diddle un-diddle uh da-da

When I'm lonely, well, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's lonely without you
And when I'm dreaming, well, I know I'm gonna dream
I'm gonna dream about the time when I'm with you
When I go out (When I go out), well, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
And when I come home (When I come home), yes, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who comes back home with you
I'm gonna be the man who's coming home with you

But I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door

Da lat da (Da lat da), da lat da (Da lat da)
Da-da-da dun-diddle un-diddle un-diddle uh da-da
Da lat da (Da lat da), da lat da (Da lat da)
Da-da-da dun-diddle un-diddle un-diddle uh da-da
Da lat da (Da lat da), da lat da (Da lat da)
Da-da-da dun-diddle un-diddle un-diddle uh da-da
Da lat da (Da lat da), da lat da (Da lat da)
Da-da-da dun-diddle un-diddle un-diddle uh da-da

And I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door

How is it a Thatcher protest?

 

[edna krabappel]

The thread is called 'Favourite Jockos' - so it's about people you admire who come from Scotland. What you're implying is a bit like suggesting that John Lennon could not be your 'Favourite Scouser' as he never went back to Liverpool.

That they rarely go (or went) back home is not the point! (Though I grant you, Connery's uber-nationalism is rather tiresome).

Yep, I'm just saying that Connery, despite being something of a cinematic legend, bores me with his Scottish-when-it-suits attitude to life.

It's a slim field, so I guess I'd have to go for either Lorraine Kelly, or Groundskeeper Willie.

ACDC were the far better Scottish export to the land of OZ.

He's OK. Didn't have anything like the influence the Young brothers had on Australian music. When you read up on who and what they were involved in it's a who's who of classic Oz music.
