Can ye really imagine Alickie gittin his mou exacklie roond thae words that's screivit unner his fotie? It's no like him at aw. Oniewey, it's aw watter unner the Forth Brig noo for we hear a rumour gaun aboot that Aiberdeen haes won a gemm 6-5 agin Motherwell sae nae doot Wee Alickie will hae gien his kilt the heave alang wi thon orra shapit ba an thon awfu soondin Twickers speak.

Mistress McGugan haes pit forrit a quaisten tae the Scottish Executive speirin gin thay hae onie ettles tae chynge the 2001 census sae that it speirs fowk if thay speak Scots or no. The census, cairried oot ilka ten year, richtlie haes the same kinna quaisten anent the speakin o Gaelic areddies. The MSP says that thae wittins haes been speired efter bi academics an upsteerers for a guid wee while noo. Richt nummers o Scots speakers is needit tae gie a heize in ettlin for the fendin o eddication, amang ither things. Aften, naethin is duin bi the public authorities ower fendin for the general uiss o Scots, cause the'r nae richt nummers tae meisure the uisage an nummers o fowk that see thirsels as uisers o the language. She eikit that gin the Scottish Executive daesna tak it on itsel tae ingaither at least a stert tae wittins anent uisage, than naebodie shuid wunner gin ithers haes sic a puir consait o the Scots leid. Mistress McGugan taks tent o the fack that Angus Cooncil haes pit forrit areddies, ettles for a policy anent the Scots language an cultur.

Bi his wey o't, thare wis nae sic thing as a Scots language. This maun shuirlie say mair anent the SLS maimbers an "Scots speakers" he's come in contack wi than it daes aboot the Scots language. It e'en says mair aboot hissel for ye'll no hear muckle spoken Scots if ye speir for it in English. If a scant o Scots comes oot yer moo, a scant o Scots gauns in yer lug! The'r aye some watter whaur the stirkie droont. Ane or twa upsteerers haes screivit in tae the Press & Journal tae conter this man's havers.

Makars' Neuk
In welth be meek, heich nocht thy self;
Be glaid in wilfull povertie;
Thy power and thy warldis pelf
Is nocht but very vanitie.
Remember him that deeit on tree,
For thy sake taistit the bitter gall,
Wha heichs low hairtis and lowers hie;
Obey and thank thy God of all.
