When Ayatollah Khomeni took over Iran, and changed the system laid down by the Shahs of Persia, part of his purge was to remove all windfarms. He had been misinformed, being told that windfarms were very large farting establishments. This, of course, made their windmills redundant, and that is when a Dutch tourist and part-time entrepreneur, who was in the area, bought them all as a job lot, and shipped them all back to the Netherlands. >>>> Kasper is the man for huge Poles!

Those are the only two > Scottish comedy acts I know from the top of my head. That conjures up a great picture! Scottish comedy acts emitting from Danny's head. Billy Connolly got a large percentage of his material and ideas from Chic Murray, who was a very, dry, droll and exceedingly funny comedian; whereas the krankies are a complete embarrassment to our national pride.
