Who was the greatest Scottish hero?

[Pentlandpirate]

Luv it: but I think I must be missing something in my life........ how do you all find this sort of material?

You know some of us have to work 50 hours a week to pay our taxes and contribute enough to pay everyone elses benefit payments as well

[Seventhseil]

Sorry you have to work so hard P.P, I personally only have to work a couple of hours a night, I hang out by the golf course and get trade that way.....once I have got the cheroot burns and whiskey stains out of my basque I have plenty of time to trawl youtube for gems.

To be honest I ran out of copies of the Beano and borrowed a copy of the Sun, which had an article on this particular Shand-tacular.

[Pentlandpirate]

I guessed I was missing out on something. With it being such a small place and you getting such good trade, I suppose I must be just about the only one not partaking of your social services

Mary Queen of Scots.

R.D. Laing.

[Seventhseil]

[Eric the Viking]

I thought that might be your favourite band Seventh! Oh the irony!

Isn't that the fat bloke on geetar the one that used to be in the Scottish punk phenomenom 'The Exploited'?

[Eric the Viking]

If it's music, how's about these three from one of Scotland's most talented musician's ....and from the nation that invented gospel and the blues:

[JPrescott]

I have always been an admirer of the Covenanters, with Alexander Peden being a particular hero of mine

[DonnieC]

How about Nick MacB .... for all his efforts over the past, particularly turbulent period.

I earnestly hope some of us will express ouselves in a more tolerant manner in 2009

[Maggie]

I nominate SIR Chris Hoy (First Reserve: Jocky Wilson)

[NickB]

.
OK Donnie, the money's in a broon bag behind the bar . . .

To go back to the very start of this thread (nearly 2 years ago) I have to second the original nomination having recently watched the Rab C Christmas Comeback on I-Player - brilliant! Best BBC comeback since they resurrected Dr Who. Talking of which . . . how about David Tennant as a nominee as well - I mean, can you name another Scot who has saved the world from a hideous fate more times than him?

[DonnieC]

Hi Nick,

Got it - much appreciated - I think Nick MacB, MBE has a certain 'ring' to it.

.... and please no fatuous innuendeo - we don't want red carded on the last night of the year

[Pentlandpirate]

. how about David Tennant as a nominee as well - I mean, can you name another Scot who has saved the world from a hideous fate more times than him?

How could you forget Gordon Brown?

[NickB]

.
I thought Gordie had only claimed to have saved it once, so no contest . . .
