So, what should the Beeb have done, in your opinion?

Messed up their scheduling just so that Lulu wouldn't be performing on November 5th? I'm intrigued.

/dying of laughter.

There's nothing unfair about a public vote, unless the "Scottish telephone service" has broken down.

Jeez, guys - didn't anybody ever warn you not to feed the trolls?

Oops.

WHAT? did someone cut the strings on their tincans then

Guy fawkes Scottish? since when did it become a Scottish (exclusive) holiday - Burns Night and Hogmanay I can accept but Nov 5th - och, git o'er yersel' hin.

What about Hogmanay then? That's very popular in Scotland.
I would have thought that was second.

Hmm... it says in my diary that next week is National Overacting Grandma Day. Anita should be very worried.

The public got it right and why should The Beeb reschedule anything? There is nothing unfair at all. The public spoke and the Blulu went. She has not proved to be very popular and we celebrate the 5th November - it is not the sole preserve of the Scots. We don't all eat burgers but celebrate that OUR Parliament was not blown up. Methinks Tom is a little bit jaundiced.

I would say Hogmanay is first as it's celebrated all over Scotland whereas many of us don't really bother too much about Burns.

Anyway, this guy is very funny. Surely no one is actually taking him seriously?!

I would imagine that a fairly large proportion of Scottish people are blissfully unaware that Lulu was born in Scotland.

And did something happen later in the evening ? did the entire Scottish population lose the use of their fingers and were unable to dial ? the phone lines didn't open until after the dancers performed and were open until way after the show .

The Scottish public never got a chance to vote as they were all out at the Glasgow Green Firework Display.Thats all I am trying to say.

Surley even you can see how that is unfair on Scotlands Treasure?

later in the evening we're drinking Buckie

A public enquiry has started. Scottish scientists are considering ways to travel back in time to persuade Mr Fawkes that 'May is a much better time'.

I think this is what Jennifer Grey was subtly alluding to when she mentioned Lulu's porridge/porage.

So the entire population of Scotland were in Glasgow Green ?

Either you are on a wind up or are certifably insane.

I think now you are just being a little silly with this comment.Would appreciate if you kept the comments on this thread to more sensible debate about this issue

OK, I'll say it - Judging from her dancing, she wasn't.

What all of them? That must have been a nightmare to organise.

What? Do you not read the Scotsman website?

I thought Rabbie Burns was Scotland's treasure. Lulu has lived in England most of her life and surely the entire population of Scotland could not fit into the space where Glasgow Green's Firework Display was being held.

Why? Did a few scrotes take advantage of the mass exodus to nip in and nick it?

I know that I wasn't...

Oh dear...
