| Being Scottish, and living in Korea, I certainly would like to see Scotland destroy Japan on Saturday in the Kirin Cup. Does anyone know of any bars that have advertised that they will definitely be showing the match? |

Not sure which bars will be showing it, but it's live on the Xports cable channel at 7:10pm  |

| Haaa, the Proclaimers. You gotta like a band whose most famous song was written as if it was the ramblings of a drunken fool. |

Ha, but what makes you think I don't have any Celtic blood? Last I heard, Dumfries was still in Scotland. |

The Proclaimers biggest hit, I think, was Letter From America.
Here's the lyrics...
When you go will you send back a letter from America?
Take a look up the railtrack from Miami to Canada.
Well
broke ofF from my work the other day
I spent the evening thinking
about all the blood that flowed away.
Across the ocean to the second chance
I wonder how it go on when it reached the promised land.
When you go will send back a letter from America?
Take a look up the railtrack from Miami to Canada.
I've looked at the ocean
tried hard to imagine
The way you felt the day you sailed
from Wester Ross to Nova Scotia.
We should have held you
we should have told you
But you know our sense of timing
we always wait too long.
When you go will you send back a letter from America?
Take a look up the railtrack from Miami to Canada.
Lochaber no morg
Sutherland no more
Lewis no more
Skye no more!
Lochaber no more
Sutherland no more
Lewis no more
Skye no more!
Lochaber no more
Sutherland no more
Lewis no more
Skye no more!
I wonder my blood
will you ever return
To help us kick the life back to a dying mutual friend?
Do we not love her
I think we all tell you about
Do we have to roam the world to prove how much it hurts?
When you go will you send back a letter from America?
Take a look up the railtrack from Miami to Canada.
Bathgate no more
Linwood no more
Methil no more
Irvine no more.
Bathgate no more
Linwood no more
Methil no more
Irvine no more.
Bathgate no more
Linwood no more
Methil no more
Irvine no more.
Bathgate no more
Linwood no more
Methil no more
Lochaber no more.
Now. To me that's a well written lyric portraying the heartache of immigration for those going and those who miss them. Hardly the ramblings of a drunken fool. The Proclaimers were/are a fine band who sang with honesty and passion in a time when Kylie Minogue and Rick Astly were all we ever heard. |

I think this was their biggest hit, or at least the song most people think of when you mention the band:
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 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walks 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), well 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 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door
fa la la la (fa la la la)
fa la la la (fa la la la)
Da Da Da Dun Diddle Un Diddle Un Diddle Uh Da Da
fa la la la (fa la la la)
fa la la la (fa la la la)
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 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door
fa la la la (fa la la la)
fa la la la (fa la la la)
Da Da Da Dun Diddle Un Diddle Un Diddle Uh Da Da
fa la la la (fa la la la)
fa la la la (fa la la la)
Da Da Da Dun Diddle Un Diddle Un Diddle Uh Da Da
fa la la la (fa la la la)
fa la la la (fa la la la)
Da Da Da Dun Diddle Un Diddle Un Diddle Uh Da Da
fa la la la (fa la la la)
fa la la la (fa la la la)
Da Da Da Dun Diddle Un Diddle Un Diddle Uh Da Da
And I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door |

A Proclaimers lyrics contest, eh?
I like this one, for anyone who's been told to "speak American":
| Quote: |
I've been so sad
Since you said my accent was bad
He's worn a frown
This Caledonian clown
I'm just going to have to learn to hesitate
To make sure my words
On your Saxon ears don't grate
But I wouldn't know a single word to say
If I flattened all the vowels
And threw the 'R' away
Some days I stand
On your green and pleasant land
How dare I show face
When my diction is such a disgrace
I'm just going to have to learn to hesitate
To make sure my words
On your Saxon ears don't grate
But I wouldn't know a single word to say
If I flattened all the vowels
And threw the 'R' away
You say that if I want to get ahead
The language I use should be left for dead
It doesn't please your ear
And though you tell it like a leg-pull
It seems your still full of John Bull
You just refuse to hear
Oh what can I do
To be understood by you
Perhaps for some money
I could talk like a bee dripping honey.
I'm just going to have to learn to hesitate
To make sure my words
On your Saxon ears don't grate
But I wouldn't know a single word to say
If I flattened all the vowels
And threw the 'R' away
You say that if I want to get ahead
The language I use should be left for dead
It doesn't please your ear
And though you tell it like a leg-pull
I think your still full of John Bull
You just refuse to hear
He's been so sad
Since you said his accent was bad
He's worn a frown
This Caledonian clown
I'm just going to have to learn to hesitate
To make sure my words
On your Saxon ears don't grate
But I wouldn't know a single word to say
If I flattened all the vowels
And threw the 'R' away
Flattened all the vowels
And threw the 'R' away
If I flattened all the vowels
And threw the 'R' away |
Anyway, slightly back on topic, this is the Kirin Cup - it looks like a giant beer tankard, a fact which was probably the sole motivation for us winning the thing.
Apparently the SFA now get a year's supply of Kirin Brewery products  |
