'They' ( also known by the 'name' of Anonymous ) even said he would die because his heart stopped beating. Such prescience.
My 94 yr old father who is a physician, said everybody he pronounce dead had heart failure.
It's like the old story about what killed the electrical lineman that was working up on a pole and got shocked and fell off...it was not the electrical shock that killed him, it was the sudden stop at the bottom that finally made his heart stop! The electrical shock just made his muscles stop hanging on to the pole so off he came.
The MoD demanded a ban on the use of fireworks after a regiment surrendered to a family of Czech tourists.
Now if I may hark back a little:-
I think you could find that they might choose to differ with you.
This brought to mind a not dissimilar discussion we had, Mr S, on Gibraltar's Gibraltarians.
You may recall it? ;-)
I think you could find Shetland Islanders might identify as Shetlanders first, Sir. ;-) Self-identifying as Scottish (whether your United Kingdom was to part company or not) is by no means a given either way, by accounts.
Now for a classic:-
Quote:
An Englishman, Irishman, Welshman, and Scotsman were captured while fighting in a far-off foreign land, and the leader of the captors said, 'We're going to line you up in front of a firing squad and shoot you all in turn. But first, you each can make a final wish.'
The Englishman responds, 'I'd like to hear "God Save The Queen" just one more time to remind me of the auld country, played by the London All Boys Choir. With Morris Dancers Dancing to the tune.'
The Irishman replies, 'I'd like to hear "Danny Boy" just one more time to remind me of the auld country, sung in the style of Daniel O'Donnell, with Riverdance dancers skipping gaily to the tune.'
The Welshman answers, 'I'd like to hear "Men Of Harlech" just one more time to remind me of the country, sung as if by the Treorchy Male Voice Choir.'
The Scotsman requested, 'I'd like to be shot first.'
Driving to work and see the smiling face in the car next to me. Company car with an advert, obviously someone who loves their job. Then I read the advert wrapped on all 4 sides.
But aren't Shetlanders that lot somewhere off the mainland that make sweaters that nobody can afford to buy? And have an affinity to a certain country in Scandinavia?
Now, Gibraltar and Gibraltarians are lovely!
Waiting for Godot & salvation :-)
Why do doctors have to practice?
You'd think they'd have got it right by now

Shetlanders are the most friendly people I have met. And they don't make sweaters you cannot afford, like you they are ripped off by the Scottish Wool Shop who sell them for at least 4 times what they pay the Shetlanders.

Makes you wonder why they don't form a workers co-operative, and sell direct on the internet. Never met any but quite sure they are also lovely people.
