  11. whoever posted the yoda theme and the et main theme earlier... bang on... actually the entire empire strikes back soundtrack is fucking stunning. you have to get the original though, there's a few different versions, and despite having the same instrumentation and arrangements, some of them don't quite feel right. also, over the moon from the et soundtrack is by far the best piece of music of the entire score (and you've got to love the litte recapitulation of the yoda theme when et is out trick or treating and walks past someone dressed as yoda.) ( john williams is a thematic genius.
  12. The following may be of help to tourists and first time visitors to Scotland for those that are travelling from Down South (Englandshire) way. It is considered bad manners for tourists to pay for drinks in Glasgow ... just run up a tab and the locals will happy to pick it up when you leave. Usually the biggest person in the bar (referred to as The Numpty) will pay. eg: BARMAN: That will be twenty pounds sir. TOURIST: The Big Numpty over there is paying. BARMAN: That will do nicely sir. BIG NUMPTY: Welcome to Scotland. In Highland pubs always ask for plenty of water when drinking the local single malts, this tells the locals that you like it so much that you want to make it last longer. After your first sip announce to everyone in the bar in a loud voice "This is pish!" from the Gaelic Piesh Na lavvy meaning Water of God. The Scottish Police force actively encourage tourists to take their hats as souvenirs. When you address one, remember that Policemen are known in Scotland by the old Gaelic word "keech". Elderly people are banned from Scottish towns on Tuesdays and Thursdays. If you see any, gently restrain them until a police officer arrives (This may also provide you with an opportunity to get a souvenir hat). Of historical note is that William Wallace escaped the army of Oliver Cromwell by jumping over The River Forth at Perth on a motorbike - >You can try it too. The beautiful village of John O’ Groats has Scotland's largest hypermarket and multiscreen cinema complex - It is only a short taxi ride from Glasgow. Braemar is famous for its miles of sandy beaches and has some of the best surfing in Europe. Balmoral Castle sits on top of Ben Nevis near Sauchiehall Street in Edinburgh. There is a cable car from Edinburgh zoo to the top of Ben Nevis. Because of its great height Ben Nevis offers all year round skiing and there is a wonderful revolving restaurant on the roof of the castle. Often you will see men in bowler hats marching about playing the flute and banging a drum. This is part of a multi-denominational religious ceremony and the object of this procession is to collect pictures of religious leaders which must be stuck to the drum. Any images, particularly those of the Pope will be greatly appreciated. There is a nocturnal thistle called a "Spiky Jessie" which is found on Calton Hill in Edinburgh. As these flowers only open at night a trip up the hill is recommended. Just tell a taxi driver that you want to go up Calton Hill to take pictures of the Jessies coming out and he will be happy to oblige. The Latin inscription on Edinburgh's coat of arms translates as, “You'll have had your tea, then?" The most popular hotel in Glasgow is called The Barlinnie. Glasgow operates a policy of plain clothed street bankers. As it is well known that carrying small change can tear people's pockets, these bankers will approach tourists and ask if they have any spare change. Once given this money they will exchange it for coins or notes of a higher denomination. In order to deter criminals, these Banker often dress in a scruffy unkempt manner but they are all highly trained in finance. Edinburgh zoo has a unique 'Adopt-an-animal' scheme whereby tourists may take home any animal they wish. At many beauty spots you will find musicians playing the bagpipes. They are employed by the Scottish Government to provide tourists with spending money which can be found in the bowls that are always beside them. Feel free to take as much money as you want, but remember that you have to spend it locally. If you go to a concert by The Royal Scottish National Orchestra it is considered impolite not to shout "Hoots!" during quiet sections of music. Celtic FC are known as the Gers due to the club being formed by Gerry O'Malley, a Fruit importer who was the first man to introduce citrus fruit to Scotland. So if you walk into a pub filled with people wearing green and white say, "Up the Gers, I'm proud to be an orange man!" and you will receive a very warm welcome. "Jobbie" is a word meaning a lot of effort has gone into producing something; ie. When you have enjoyed a meal, tell the waiter that it tasted like a great jobbie.
