‘hope and despair’

i was hoping to have something insightful to say about the scottish psyche and our ‘wha’s like us’ mentality all that shite.  it fascinates me a bit.

i thought that maybe there was some correlation between james mcfaddden’s goal dans le parc de princes en 2007 and edwyn collins album ‘hope and despair’ that would explain it all.  

there isn’t though.  

sometimes it hurts the old brainbox trying to figure out what it means to be scottish.

wha’s like us, eh?
