Tartan Day Parade

[Markgeezer]

reenacting the battle of Bannockburn might not be such a great idea though
it's like why not reenact the battle of Mount Tumbledown errrhmmm, how might that go down?
why reenact any war instead of just having a party. Is it a macho thing, will it atract the attention of the Argentines?
The organisers are not Scottish... right?

Full disclosure: I have indeed tried Irn-Bru: in Glasgow (ever so near to the source), but I did so the morning after a death-match between a bottle of Glenmorangie and my liver. Perhaps not exactly laboratory test conditions, but it sufficed to keep me away from the stuff ever since (the Irn Bru, not the whisky).

Maybe if your scottish and looking for a taste from home; I on the other hand find these event's to be a crack up. Last year I went to a "celtic music show" in the palacio de la legislatura porteña. Beautiful venue, gold leaf and red velvet everywhere, stunning. And up on stage, some guys dressed like Monty Python's knights of Camalot doing something that looked like a haka crossed with the orc rush scene from the second lord of the rings movie.

That was of course followed by some guy singing 'irish folk songs', of course since they were in english he tried to rapidly translate to spanish during the chorus.

Now I have to see if I kept the video.

Please excuse the terrible camera work.

Was it out of a glass bottle? Was it the horrible "diet" stuff that really isn't irn-bru? I still doubt you've tried the proper stuff!
