    What did William Wallace do, can't have been that successful as Scotland came crying to join England.

    Didn't he get Scotland free from the English? Then centuries after Scotland decided to get in bed with England, got it on well, and as a result made Wales and Ireland?

    My history isn't good I could be completely wrong.

    I think he shot the sheriff in a row over some scones. Not sure about the deputy.

    I do know his death was eerily similar to that Monty Python song
    He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp,
    Or to have his eyes gouged out, and his elbows broken.
    To have his kneecaps split, and his body burned away,
    And his limbs all hacked and mangled, brave Sir Robin!
    His head smashed in and his heart cut out,
    And his liver removed and his bowels unplugged,
    And his nostrils ripped and his bottom burned off,
    And his penis--

    I don't think even Wallace could've won Glasgow North-East from Labour.

    Nahhh. Independence. Independence. sounds nowhere near as impressive as Freedom, Freedom.

    I had a strange dream the other night about the Krankies. Now I don't know if I'm straight, gay, lesbian or a paedophile.

    She is in the Krankies - right ?

    It's a short story. He won at Stirling Bridge (Sept 1297) and lost at Falkirk (April 1298), Went on the run for 7 years (spending time in France) and then was hung, drawn, quartered, boiled in oil, coated in tar and generally executed in 1305.

    Blind Harry wrote a poem 172 years later and this was used in the Victorian revival of all things Scottish.

    Hung, drawn and quartered. It must have sucked to have been an SNP voter back then.
