Things We Hate...Or at least Dislike VERY MUCH!! (Page 8 of 11)

I feel like Marty McFly here. I must've stumbled across an 18th century argument here.

It is pleasing, however, to know that there are people in the USA  who are aware that other countries exist. Please don't take that the wrong way. America is such a huge country that it's very easy to be mildly aware of small countries like mine and yet have no understanding of them whatsoever. There are shades of this in a few post here referring to the Queen of England. I am not English yet she is still my Queen. I'll not bother explaining this: it's a long story.

Sorry Ken. I'm sure you understood what I meant. Historically speaking.

I think you'll find that "devine right of monarchs" died with the Jacobites.

yep, that they did.

And that reminds me, I am away to play that on my guitar yet again, "ye jacobites by name", then i will do "bonnie dundee" 9 went down very well in the pub last night".

Also I am learning on guitar ( but usually done on Bodhran) brig 'o' stirling  ( translated, bridge of stirling)

Oh how i wished I lived a couple of hundred years ago and know then what I know now.

I really would be King ,lol, pmsl

Hi UYK/Alvee
Is there music to these Charming Words? lol.. My self and a friend are looking for Chords?

Oh a Scotsman tried and true left the bar one evening fair

And one could tell by how he walked he'd had more than his share

He stumbled round 'til he could no longer keep his feet

Then he stumbled off unto the grass to sleep beside a stream.

Ring-ding diddle diddle aye-dee-oh

Ring di-diddle-aye-oh

Oh he stumbled off unto the grass to sleep beside a stream.

Well about that time two young and lovely ladies happened by

And one said to the other, with a twinkle in her eye

"Oh see yon sleepy Scotsman, so strong and handsome built?"

"Well I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath their kilts."

Ring-ding diddle diddle aye-dee-oh

Ring di-diddlee-aye-oh

"Oh I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath their kilts."

Well they snuck up to that sleeping Scotsman, quiet as could be

And they lifted up his kilt a little bit so they might see

And there for them to behold, beneath that Scottish skirt,

Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth.

Ring-ding diddle diddle aye-dee-oh

Ring di-diddlee-aye-oh

Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth.

Well they marveled for a moment, then one said, "We must be gone."

"Well let's leave a present for our friend before we move along."

As a gift, they left a blue silk ribbon tied into a bow

Around the bonnie sword the

Scotsman's kilt beneath did show.

Ring-ding diddle diddle aye-dee-oh

Ring di-diddlee-aye-oh

Around the bonnie sword the Scotsman's kilt beneath did show.

Well the Scotsman a little later, he awoke to nature's call

And as he lifted up his kilt, what he got and what he saw,

And in a strangled voice, he said, "I can't believe me eyes!"

"I don't know where ye been, me lad, but I see ye took first prize!"

Ring-ding diddle diddle aye-dee-oh

Ring di-diddlee-aye-oh

"I don't know where ye been, me lad, but I see ye took first prize!

Old Doll.

thanks toney,
Nope never have done this,  donteven know if I have actually heard it until i hear it, but I like the pyircs an this could be a song I might do.

Old doll, superb lyrics. I tihnk I might have heard that or soemthing like that I am sure.

al,
your reply is the next post ,lol

Ken

right ok, e mailed ye about half a book full so if your email looks stuck it is all the files I am sedning,lol

Ken

Al,
I know how ye feel. I carry 4 folders of lyrics about whenever i take the guitar out.
Good folders to use are the clear pouch style things, the covers are red,blue,purple, pink or clear etc
In one of my blue ones are my own songs
Orange one is full of my jamming songs ( most popular one wit hfolk songs)
Other blue one is songs I like to do but not as often as the orange book and the clear book I have is ful of pik floyd, syd barrett, a few beatles, dylan, and a few others, ( also anoter well used book)

My problem I thnk is I try to learn too many songs at once to remember all the lyrics, or if I remember the lyrics I will forget the chords ,lol
If I took one book, hid the rest,  ithin kI might manage to learn them all of by heart, but I would forget again if I idnt play them all the time.
Maybe it is the moist air we have in the west of scotland that makes oor memories so bad? Or was it the drugs I abused when I was younger? ( jokin)

Also got a music stand too that the books fit on perfectly.

Ken

lol,
ok Toney, will do.

I was planning a trip over there in te next few years but  iwill have to wait and see. Would be going to Georgia and Alabama if I get over.

Ken

Ha!  I'm late on this thread...but...

Things I hate:

* When favorite bands decide to turn political and start flapping their gums about politics.  I said it once and I said it again - music should UNITE people and not DIVIDE them
*  The whole Democrat/Liberal vs. Republican/Conservative thing going on in the U.S.  It's gotten way too mean and hostile when it really doesn't need to be - it's simply a political difference - GET OVER IT!  Insulting the other party won't make them suddenly decide to vote for your side's candidates
*  California-type Paris Hilton-wannabe chicks that bake themselves to death, bleach their hair, wear large sunglasses in a pathetic attempt to look like an incognito celebrity, wearing sweatpants with 4" high heels, and act stupid because it's "cool" and weave all over the highways while sending text-messages on their cell phones
*  Celebrities that get away with everything because they're famous
*  The lack of female role models for my daughter
*  The smell of roadkill
*  The fact that there IS no unbiased news source
*  People that act as if I should be against the war because my husband is in the military
*  Those that can't fight fair without insulting someone and calling them "uneducated" simply because their opinion differs
*  Those that jeopardize the lives of our troops and allied troops by spouting off stupid things to the media that should remain confidential
*  Conspiracy theories about everything
*  The fact that MySpace is one of the most popular sites on the 'net today and the developers STILL can't keep it working half the time
*  Cattiness, pettiness, jealousy
*  Hypocritical people and/or actions
*  When my husband farts and blames it on our kids
*  When my husband farts and blames it on me
*  Green Day

And that about sums it up.

That's cool Ken, I'm in Florida, the state just south of Georgia and Alabama.It's about a 4 hour drive from the Florida state line to where I reside( Tampa Bay area). Perhaps destiny will cross our paths sometime in the future.
Best Regards,
Toney
