Like Me you must have been brought up in the times of Captain Hurricane (the Valiant) and his wee pal Maggot Malone, His "ragin fury" often was aimed at the Kraut And Spaghetti eating swabs not to mention the Slant eyed nips,

"Stone me, it's a ragin' fury," was,the Captain's batman's remark when he charged single-handedly into the Nips or Squareheads. The Valiant, The Hotspur, The Tiger, Hurricane...

I think I still have an annual in a press upstairs, where the Captain is charging at an enemy gun nest, and some shocked foreign ally says, "Aieeee! What will happen to the Sahib?", and Maggot's response is, "You mean what'll happen to the Nips?"

Changed days though. Even Skid Solo's Jock mechanic Sandy's "Och, great steamin lumps o haggis!" when Skid or the car ****ed up didn't bother us, and it wouldn't now, but standards are different now, thankfully.

Of course there's Groundskeeper Willie frae the Simpsons.

One of Willies quotes.

“Brothers And Sisters Are Natural Enemies. Like Englishmen And Scots. Or Welshmen And Scots. Or Japanese And Scots. Or Scots And Other Scots. Damn Scots They Ruined Scotland!”

And from the late Deborah Orr’s magnificent autobiography ‘Motherwell’:
“It was bewildering, this duality, this constant keeping of two flames, one of Scottish victimhood, the other of Scottish superiority...even Connery didn’t like it here. He was a tax exile.
Oor Wullie, symbol of our nationhood as he may have been, was a cartoon.”

She's got a speech prepared on her favourite soccer team.
St Paisley of Mirren.
She used to watch them from the bleachers as a "wee lassie" living in North Britain.

Ask her if she liked the pies at The Alamo.

CHEESE !!!! That.... Is. A. Disgrace. Pork markets in Beijing more likely. But I'll go with Donanddusted Saint Smmiren with be the subject.
