It's a braw bricht moonlicht nicht the nicht...

That's the kind of thing that people say to you when they find out that you're Scottish. And quite frankly it pisses me off. To a whole new level of pissedoffedness.

Therefore I have decided that in order to address the whole "Scottish people are all ginger haired, are tight with money and drink too much." situation I'm proposing that Scotland makes the Dropkick Murphys version of Scotland the Brave as the official national anthem in order to scare the living piss out of anyone who even thinks about throwing around any of those stereotypes.

The Dropkick Murphys version of Scotland the Brave is a mix of the old and the new and has the added bonus in that there are no words to learn, which is an advantage for the football fans who are usually too drunk to sing anyway.

So, Ladies, Gentlemen and unknowns... I give you the Dropkick Murphys...

OK this is weird. I am French living in Canada. There are not too many Scottish people living here. Except I married one and was not aware of a typicial stereotype for Scotts. But you have just described my husband to a T. OK perhaps its just a general description of a typical husband: tight with money and drinks too much...but at least they have a good sense of humor, I hope. :)

I like this sentence very much but I used to say a better one to young Scottish women when I lived in Perthsire a few years ago. "I don't mind the moon...just put your panties doon" ;-) I'm just joking man. Greetins from the Catalan countries.
