Here's the Scottish Anthem Lyrics for the Sing-A-Long
(I don't think we have any Italians looking in ... but please tell me if there is)

O FLOWER OF SCOTLAND

Verse 1:

O flower of Scotland
When will we see your like again
That fought and died for
Your wee bit hill and glen
And stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again

Verse 2:

The hills are bare now
And autumn leaves lie thick and still
O'er land that is lost now
Which those so dearly held
And stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again

Verse 3:

Those days are passed now
And in the past they must remain
But we can still rise now
And be the nation again
That stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again


Only Verses 1 and 3 are sung at games

Hello Radio Jem and all the rugby gang.

My laptop isn't working very well and so I am having to pop in and out today in
short spells. Sending good wishes to Emma and hoping Scotland win their game.

I hope that you are feeling a little better this week Radio Jem. You will need
to pace yourself today methinks with 3 games to follow.

Not too much cider drinking I hope Shaun, we don't want you falling off
your zimmer frame, that would never do.

Hoping to pop in little and often today. Hope this laptop won't blow up!!!!!
