If you have one of the Scottish editions you may need some help understanding the commands. The Scottish edition may be recognised by the opening screen. It reads: WINDAES 98, Ye Ken, with a picture of William Wallace superimposed on a St. Andrew's Cross, shipped with a Mel Gibson screen saver. If you have a copy of WINDAES 98, you will need to know the following: Recycle Bin is called "The Bucket." My Computer is called "Yon Computer Thingie." Dialup Networking is called "Phone the Bhoys." Control Panel is known as the "Dashboard." Settings are called "sittins." Programs are described as "stuff whit daes stuff." Documents are termed "stuff whit I hive done afore." Hard Drive is referred to as "the Tractor." Floppies are referred to as "yon wee plastic dusc things." In addition, you will find some commands in WINDAES 98 have been slightly altered: OK = "'ats fine" Cancel = "na na ma loon" Reset = "Och ye'd be as weel startin agin" Yes = "Och aye" No = "nae chunce mon" Find = "if ye'd bothered to pit it past in a safe place, ye widnae need to be lookin' for it noo, noo widye?" Go to = "go'n ower 'ere" Back = "back the wye" Help = "geese a haun'" Stop = "packit in" Start = "com on 'en" Some features exclusive tae WINDAES 98: Pincil an paper.....A word processor Colourin book.......A Graphics program Addin machine.......Calculator Andrex..............Notepad Jukebox.............CD player Photies.............A graphics viewer Massey..............Tractor dealers listed by Post Code (Scotland only) Car.................See previous entry Tax Records.........usually an empty file Other features: WINDAES 98 does not recognise capital letters or punctuation marks.

Back comes the reply "No!" Then the American voice says "this is the battleship USS Missouri leading the American Atlantic battle fleet, you had better alter course by 10 degrees." Back comes the reply "this is the Hebrides lighthouse, but it's your call, Jimmy"                 kylassie  Posted: 30-Jan-2002, 08:54 PM 1st Queen of Scotland Group: Celtic Nation Posts: 272 Joined: 17-Nov-2001 Zodiac: Birch Realm: Kentucky    Thanks for the laughs!

Eventually, people get tired of jumping on a trampoline.

Donald MacDonald from the Isle of Skye (or maybe it was Neil McNeil from Barra, but anyway..) went to study at an English university and was living in the hall of residence with all the other students there. After he had been there a month, his mother came to visit him (no doubt carrying reinforcements of tatties, salt herring, oatmeal and whisky). "And how do you find the English students, Donald?" she asked. "Mother," he replied, "they're such terrible, noisy people. The one on that side keeps banging his head on the wall and won't stop. The one on the other side screams and screams all night." "Oh Donald! How do you manage to put up with these awful noisy English neighbours?" "Mother, I do nothing. I just ignore them. I just stay here quietly, playing my bagpipes."                 maggiemahone1    Posted: 31-Jan-2002, 12:26 PM High Queen of Ireland Group: Celtic Nation Posts: 3,596 Joined: 03-Jan-2002 Zodiac: Ivy Realm: Southern West Virginia That was VERY AMUSING  NightHawk,  That little story kinda reminds me of a few people I know.       maggiemahone1                  Blue_Rogue    Posted: 02-Feb-2002, 09:23 AM Celtic Guardian Group: Founder Posts: 202 Joined: 02-Feb-2002 Zodiac: Ash Realm: Tulsa, Ok. I'll do my best to clean this up, it's more of an adult joke, but funny!  A English, French and Scot soilder were on leave when they past a house of ill repute. The Englishman and Frenchman thought that this is just what was needed, but the Scotsman disagreed, stating that he could not have it his way. The Englishman and Frenchman convinced him that surly he would be sattisfied, or they would pay for him. The Scotsman agreed. They agreed to all met at the bar across the street when they were done.  The Englishman was first to come out, not seeing his freind went to the bar and ordered a beer . The Frenchman came out a short time later and joined the Englishman   .  Some time had passed and the two freinds decided that their Scottish freind must have gotten what he wanted when the Scotsman came running out chased by two large men. When he saw his two freinds standing at the bar he hollered "See, I told you they won't do it my way, FREEEEEEEE" -------------------- Careful what you ask for, you might just get it.

Wullie was having his appendix out and was driving the doctor mad with his questions.  "Will Ah be able to play the bagpipes after me operation?" he asked.  "Of course you will" snapped the doctor.  "Thats amazing!" marvelled Wully.  "AH couldna play them before!" Jessie was out for a walk and came to a river and saw Maggie on the other opposite bank.  "Hello there", she shouts,"how can I get to the other side?"  Maggie looked up the river, then down the river, then shouted back, "You are on the other side." Davie is not really a liar.  He just arranges the truth to his favor. Sandy was only 5 feet tall.  He reckoned it to his diet as a child-condensed mild and shortbread. When an old lady was asked why she had suddenly taken to studying the Bible so assiduously, she replied, "I'm studying for my finals." The 2 old Scots had imbibed overmuch.  Saying his good-night, the one told the other: "John man, when ye gang oot the door, ye"ll see twa cabs. Tak' the first yin-the t'ither anes no' there!"

Having hung out with the A&S boys at Loon Mountain back in 1998, I have to say they are one of the most partying regiments out of Scotland. Only the Blackwatch have topped A&S for the number of straight hours of partying between American tour performances.   -------------------- Jenni ------- Go Rangers!

Three times he asked the starter to put him down to play the next morning at ten, before he was told, "Ye'll come the day after tomorrow at eleven, and ye'll answer to the name o' Macpherson"                   NightHawk  Posted: 13-Feb-2002, 03:58 PM Clan Member Group: Celtic Nation Posts: 51 Joined: 29-Dec-2001 Zodiac: Birch Realm: Frankfurt/M - Germany In a London street, two Highlanders stood looking at the imposing front of a large building. The corner-stone bore the date in Roman characters, "MCMIV." "Look at that, Jock," said Sandy proudly, "Ah don't know what clan he come from, but he's got his name on one of the finest buildings in London. You canna keep oor boys doon, can ye ?"                 CelticRadio    Posted: 14-Feb-2002, 03:10 PM Celtic Guardian Group: Administrator Posts: 9,757 Joined: 23-Sep-2001 Zodiac: Oak Realm: Toronto, CAN Medieval Kingdom Rank #74 250,583 Gold!
