Anyway

[sombrefan]

So I was in Galway over the weekend with my wife and parents. Lovely city btw everyone should go there, especially if you like fish. Any road, dad bought a CD which featured the best 18th century poem ever. I'm putting it in LJ cut tags as you'll see why when you read it. They were a lot more innocent back then ;).



Johnie Lad, Cock Up Your Beaver

When first my brave Johnie lad came to this town,
He had a blue bonnet that wanted the crown;
But now he has gotten a hat and a feather,
Hey, brave Johnie lad, cock up your beaver!

Cock up your beaver, and cock it fu' sprush,
We'll over the border, and gie them a brush;
There's somebody there we'll teach better behaviour,
Hey, brave Johnie lad, cock up your beaver!


P.S. Kenneth Clarke for Tory leader! We need some fun back in British politics.

I've been trying to find out what it meant to Burns

No luck, just a lot of porn sites...

And the trip was *great*
