In
the beginning, the lord god almighty, sitting on his throne on high,
turned to his mate, the Archangel Gabriel, and said "Gabby, today
I'm going to create Scotland.
I will make it a
country of dark beautiful mountains, purple glens and rich green
forests. I will give it clear, swift flowing rivers and I will
fill them with salmon. The land shall be lush and fertile, on
which the people shall grow barley to brew into an amber nectar that
will be much sought after the world over. Underneath the land I shall
lay rich seams of coal.
In the waters
around the shores there will be an abundance of fish and beneath the sea
bed there will be cast deposits of oil and gas."
"Excuse me
Sire", interrupted the Archangel Gabriel, "Don't you
think you are being a bit too generous to these Scots"?
"Shit
no", replied the Lord, "wait till you see the neighbours
I'm giving them"!!!
