A student at an English university, by name of Donald MacDonald from the
Isle of Skye, who was living in the hall of residence in his first year there.
After he had been there for a month, his mother came to visit, no doubt carrying
reinforcements of oatmeal.
"And how do you find the English students,
Donald?"
she asked."Mother," he replied, "they're such terrible noisy
people! The one on that side keeps banging his head against the wall, and won't
stop. The one on the other side screams and screams and screams away into the
night!"
"Oh, Donald! How ever do you manage to put up with these awful
noisy English neighbours?" "Mother, I do nothing, I just ignore them! I just
stay here quietly playing my bagpipes!" |
