Yep,knew that about the German origins. But anyway lots of great music has been written by Germans. No problem. They wrote it about Scotland and captured a mood and we're probably clever enough to write some appropriate words, hopefully not about Bannockburn or anti-English!

Nice tune, but there seem to be a lot of different words. Moira Kerr sings a particularly insipid version (sorry to MK fans) which mentions God and Victory far too often for my liking.

In fact the whole Cathedral concept is maybe a little bit monotheist for these modern times . . .

I'm inclined to prefer 'A Man's A Man For A' That', which was of course sung at the opening of the Scottish Parliament.

Should we have a wee poll?

I'd just like to congratulate Scotland on their well deserved win over France ( a world class team)

I'm sure the owner of the saltire at Seaview is very proud!!

Just goes to show what optimism can achieve!

I'm sure the owner of the saltire at Seaview is very proud!!

And did you note the colour of the saltire on their shirts? Navy blue is out, and now it's not even Pantone whatever 300, but something even lighter.

Get that flag down and put something up to show Seil is in touch with the latest fad!

...nice to see our cousins at Kilmore "flying the flag"!
I don't know how long it's been up, for I haven't travelled that way for some time......but it's certainly big enough!!!

Where is it SS? I went past there this afternoon and didn't notice. Mind you, I was eating a chicken and stuffing sarnie at the time.

Oh, right (yes, I remember the filling station!). I'll look tomorrow, I'm dining at Soroba House and not in my car!

tinkerbell · Post by **tinkerbell** » Tue Sep 25, 2007 7:17 pm

opposite the hall? now im confused....i thought id seen one across the big field that the kilmore games take place in..(through the trees where the big nice hoose is)

Eric the Viking · Post by **Eric the Viking** » Tue Sep 25, 2007 7:46 pm

The big hoose thats only lived in two or three weeks of the year, by the 'I tried netting salmon on Loch Feochan but made a complete ar*e of it so now netting salmon is bad an everybody should stop' man - or did you mean the other big hoose?

Seil Sally · Post by **Seil Sally** » Tue Sep 25, 2007 10:06 pm

.....just opposite the new housing scheme!!!

Seil Sally · Post by **Seil Sally** » Mon Oct 15, 2007 7:28 pm

So has this fad finally passed by ? ( flag-flying I mean )

they lasted just as long as the scots rugby team

whos in the final

Lord Voldermort · Post by **Lord Voldermort** » Wed Oct 17, 2007 11:36 pm

I must congragulate you on making the final Moonraker.

You had a hard road to the final, succesfully boring the opposition out of the game with some of the dullest rugby i've ever seen in my life. I like how all the backs can also play as forwards. Fat and Slow.

I will cheer for England (we are neighbours after all) but i can't help but think:

Habana will tear you apart
Schalk will tear you apart
Du Preez will tear you apart
Percy is a better kicker than Jonny
Os Du Randt will poo all over your mighty scrum.

It appears England aren't going to be triumphant, sorry Moonraker!! At time of writing we are currently at England 6 - South Africa 15, SHAME!!
