But we know plenty of Scots will go 500 miles then 500 more so what’s the fuss about?

Just to be the man who walked a thousand Miles to fall down at your door?

Also, I heard that in the UK when they fall down they get back up again. Also they will never give you up or desert you.

I just upvoted 8 comments in a single thread. I've never had reason to do that before.

Sheer luck I came across it early. Have never typed so fast in case someone beat me to the punch

It's unfair to compare others to the Scots

u/MasntWii 3d ago

To be fair, USians also travel a thousand Miles, but it is mostly women on a moving piano or Terry Crews.

This song was in my head the moment I read the title

u/Timely_Egg_6827 3d ago

That puts you in the North Sea or the Atlantic (actually Washington DC which would be really bad) - the tunnel was a blessing.

u/Ophiochos 3d ago

And whoosh the reference flew over their head

u/Timely_Egg_6827 3d ago

I was listening to the Proclaimers thirty years ago so no. Just found it funny it would be DC they'd end up in.

u/Medium_Trade8371 Australian 3d ago

That presupposes that they would be heading in that direction. If it were I, it wouldn't. There are a lot more places in the world they could head for than the USA.

u/Ophiochos 3d ago

Depends what direction they went in.

2

u/Medium_Trade8371 Australian 3d ago

...as it often does.

u/Ophiochos 3d ago

(I stand corrected, apparently.)

u/Medium_Trade8371 Australian 3d ago

Sit down. We aren't going to hold it against you.

u/Ophiochos 3d ago

Was just acknowledging it. Never worked out what the tunnel was though…

1

u/Medium_Trade8371 Australian 3d ago

I'm lost and I haven't even done a mile yet.

1

u/Ophiochos 3d ago

lol. And whoosh the reference flew over…

Person higher up this chain said something about a tunnel. To DC. Best we just walk away at this point.

2

u/Medium_Trade8371 Australian 3d ago

OK lead me out of this turmoil umm tunnel, I have a long way to go.

u/StorminNorman 3d ago

Hang on, are you saying the distance from Scotland to DC is 1000miles?

1

u/Phelyckz 3d ago

No one said it's a straight line. Maybe they just got a really bad sense of direction.

u/rubizza 3d ago

They were in North Africa when they stopped, though, while an American didn’t make it to Cleveland.

u/Nik106 1d ago

Walk 500 miles, no less!
