Thomas, I thought the "Scottish Terrorists" was mildly amusing in the current context- yesterday's terrorist is today's bagpipes player!
Of course with a name like "Ryan" I'd have to observe that the Irish gave the Scottish the bagpipes as a joke, and that the Scots still haven't "got" it! ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
