...Or anybody who fancies helping us!
The London Development Agency are currently asking for people to vote on the name of a new foot bridge on the site of the new Wembley Stadium. The name has to be something significant to Wembley's past.
The Tartan Army are looking to hi-jack the naming, by voting for Jim Baxter on the below link. Reason being his keepy-uppy routine in 67'. A legitimate reason for voting for him is that he is already in the Wembley Hall of Fame.
Imagine, a Scottish legend immortalised on the site of the new English national stadium!
I apologise for this post to all of you who aren't interested but anyone who can be bothered to spare 30 seconds please click on the link and vote for Jim Baxter!

I'm of Scotish descent but really don't care about the post's subject. Although ANYTHING even slightly Scotish promoting will get a +2 out of me. My Grandmother made it a point to teach her Grandchildren Scotish pride.
Thistles and Lions!
woot!

Apparently she didn't make it a point to teach her grandchildren how to SPELL THEIR HERITAGE. Stupid git. There's two t's in Scottish.

Was going to vote, but then realised they want your email address. Jim Baxter was good (indeed great) in his day, but like many of us up here, died a fat bloated fuckwit after his depressive surroundings drained him of every positive bit of energy in his body. Don't come to Scotland. It is an absolute fucking shithole. All the birds are fat ugly bastards, but they think they're so fit. It sucks.

Should call the stadium McThinkAgain. Correct me if I'm wrong, but haven't your lot got the wood on the poms? - as far as internationals held at Wembley? Didn't you win the first one too? Fucking poms, they got raped and pillaged by the Danes and Germans a squillion times over, then the French invaded and thought, fuck it, we're staying. Funny shit. And the Queen's a German - priceless. I LOVE YOUR NATIONAL ANTHEM. You can't play rugger for shit, but Flower of Scotland is a fucking moment, really.

Last week, Japanese scientists placed explosive detonators at the bottom of Lake Loch Ness to blow Nessie out of the water. Sir Godfrey of the Nessie Alliance summoned the help of Scotland's local wizards to cast a protective spell over the lake and its local residents and all those who seek for the peaceful existence of our underwater ally.

I'm Scottish and have never heard of Jim Baxter. Assume he is a football player of some kind. A dead one.
And yes, Billy Connolly is Scottish. Cretins.

Just curious are you proud of the country you come from?
Jim Baxter was a footballer, and died in 2001. He was noted as the greatest Scottish footballer of all time - and you haven't even heard of him, Charming.
On another note, he humiliated England when they were the world champions by playing keepie up.

You know, some people actually post here to have their writing reviewed, not to advertise for a cause. Just a thought you should consider before doing this again.
