You do? I wonder if we can still find it on Google...let me check....found this thread from Jan 2000 but Sore Loserman was not shown - yet it was discussed.

Thanks, Registered, wherever you are.
Speakin’ o’ Auld Lang Syne:
An Englishman is being shown around a Scottish hospital. At the end of the tour he is shown into a ward with a number of patients who show no signs of injury.
He goes to examine the first man he sees, and the man proclaims “Fair fa’ yer honest sonsie face, Great chieftain o’ the puddin’ race!”
The Englishman, somewhat taken aback, goes to the next patient, who immediately launches into:
“Some hae meat, and canna eat, and some wad eat that want it,
But we hae meat and we can eat, and sae the Lord be thankit.”
The next patient sits up and declaims:
“Wee sleekit cow’rin tim’rous beastie,
O what a panic’s in thy breastie!
Thou need na start awa sae hasty,
wi’ bickering bl’attle.
I wad be laith to run and chase thee,
wi’ murdering prattle.”
“Well” says the Englishman to his Scottish colleague “I see you saved the psychiatric ward for the last”.
“No, no” the Scottish doctor corrects him “This is the Serious Burns Unit”
OMG...that is HILLARIOUS!!
My father is a real Robbie Burns Day afficianado. He’s been invited many times to Glasgow University, his alma mater, to preside over the haggis!!
Tis a brah brigt moonlich nich tanich! (spelling?)
and I HAVE claimbed Goat Fell!
Glad you liked that joke — it’s a keyboard killer.
I’ve been to Glasgow, Edinburgh, and points in between, but never to the far north. Scotland has the most beautiful hills on earth.
What I loved most was motoring around the hairpin turns among the mist-shrouded hills on a weekday when there was hardly another car on the road, when suddenly a lake would come into view, and often a lone bagpiper out there skirling and echoing, perhaps hoping for a wee donation. It’s otherworldly.
