So I saw this Gibson Wallace bloke, inna kilt, near where he came from in the Highlands, eating a deep fried Mars bar, an Irn Bru turkish delight in the other hand ready for later, preparin\’ to toss a caber. Tam o\’shanter securely buckled, sporran pulled forward onto forehead, claymore reined and saddled beside him and skean dubh pumped up and already making that dreadful droning. Oats and porridge make an appearance along with the road to London.
We\’ve got to rebuild Hadrian\’s Wall, haven\’t we?

An’ legs an’ arms, an’ heads will sned,
Like taps o’ thrissle.”
Can they leave yet?
