Of course you can, you've said as much on your web site and other publicity material.

I for one am thrilled at this news because if you couldn't these jokes from Glasgow would be wasted on you.

'Can you come and get me? I think ma water has broken'

'Aye yer right!' replies the bloke

Did you hear about the fella who liked eating bricks and cement?
He's awa' noo.

Which one's a Musketeer?
The dark tan yin.

'Is there money in the box?
'Naw, it's just me,' he replies.


While getting ready to go out, a wee wifie says to her husband:
'Do you think I'm getting a wee bit pigeon chested?'
And he says: 'Aye, but that's why I love you like a doo.'


What was the name of the first Scottish cowboy?
Hawkeye The Noo.


What do you call a pigeon that goes to Aviemore for its holidays?

the next stop,' he says. 'Good. And what would you do if you couldn't
get the fare?' 'I'd take the first two weeks in August,' he replies.
