A Midge in Your Hand is Worth Two up
Your Kilt.
The Scottish language is rich in proverbs, sayings,
maxims and wise aphorisms. Sadly, in the transition from the abacus to
the computer most of these have become outdated. This hilarious, little
book thrusts these expressions into the twenty-first century providing
millennia of wisdom in a usable modern format. It covers everything from
bagpipes to whisky with a few mentions of our dear neighbours, the
Sassenachs thrown in.
So whether you are Scottish, a tourist visiting
Scotland, an illegal immigrant gutting fish on Shetland or find
this book abandoned on a Trans-Siberian train you are sure to be
inspired and amused by our wit and wisdom.
The section on chat-up lines and insults will
certainly help you should you venture into a Scottish pub or nightclub
and could make the difference between getting a French kiss or a Glasgow
kiss.
