Original Tracks
The Flying Scotsman
Silver-screen sports stories rarely revolve around the big and brawny, but the small and scrappy, like Sean Astin in Rudy or Toby Maguire in Seabiscuit. For Scottish cycling sensation Graeme Obree (Trainspotting's Jonny Lee Miller), the biggest obstacle isn't physical, but financial--and psychological. From 1993 to 1995, when most of The Flying Scotsman takes place, he's a bike-shop owner and courier who dreams of turning pro (Laura Fraser plays his supportive spouse). After Rev. Baxter (Brian Cox returning to his native Scotland) sets him up with supplies, and fellow courier Malky (The Lord of the Rings' Billy Boyd) agrees to manage him, Obree sets out to break the one-hour world record. He starts by building a bicycle from spare parts, a move that recalls Anthony Hopkins' eccentric racer in The World's Fastest Indian. Obree's money woes are further complicated by a battle with manic depression, which is handled sensitively, if superficially, i.e. it isn't made clear whether he ever receives treatment. Though he'll break several records before the film is over, the World Cycling Federation (represented by former James Bond villain Steven Berkoff) makes him jump through several demeaning hoops to get there. As for Miller, he's convincing as a cyclist (Obree serves as one of his stand-ins), though Boyd provides the bulk of the charisma. Nonetheless, the real-life champ deserves recognition for his achievements, and Mackinnon's movie is as a sympathetic testament to a true talent. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

To Tempt A Scotsman (Zebra Debut)
After finding herself at the centre of a very public scandal that left one man dead and another on the run, Lady Alexandra Huntington has exiled herself to her brother's estate and is content to manage his affairs. But the arrival of darkly handsome Collin Blackburn awakens her curiosity and her desire - and the advantage of being a fallen woman is that she can be ruined only once...After a promise sworn to his father, Collin Blackburn is compelled to seek the aid of the woman who brought about his brother's death in a senseless duel. Yet Lady Alexandra is not the shameless femme fatale he expected. In fact, Collin suspects she is guilty of nothing more than a hunger to experience passion, and the brawny Scot is certainly equipped to oblige. But the quick-witted, keenly sensual Alexandra has a few lessons of her own to impart - on life, love, and the delicious joys of succumbing to temptation...

Open Question: All music experts wanted?
I need some love songs that I can use in my book. Here's a brief description. A woman around 25 gets caught in a storm and wakes up in Scotland in 1309. She escapes from the dungeon of a man who claims she is the enemy b/c of the family crest on her locket. She ends up at a castle on a hill which happens to belong to her ancestors. She has a dream and realizes that she is the heroine from her favorite bedtime story as a child and that she now has to get the man who sees her as his enemy to fall in love with her. She ends up at a yule gathering where she plays her guitar and sings which awes her scotsman and chips away a small piece of his emotional armour. I need a really good love song for her to sing. Can you help me please?

Open Question: American Stereotypes?
You see, I would like a little feedback from foreigners. If your friend mentioned that they had an American friend, what would you expect them to be like? And looking at the country in general, what do you think about our decisions - economy, government, and the people as a whole. Responses from other Americans would be great as well - I would really like to know how other people view this specific type of nationality. The stereotypical Irishman has red hair and cirrhosis; the stereotypical Englishman drinks tea for every meal and is a pompous brat; the stereotypical Scotsman lives in a castle and has an incomprehensible accent - you see where I'm going (don't ask me why I only chose UK nationalities =])?

Open Question: If you went back in time to scotland 1309 what songs could you sing that wouldn't confuse them?
I'm writing a book about a girl who goes back in time and I need a good song for her to sing while she's playing her guitar. Songs that don't have anything modern in the lyrics. For example The Right Kind of Wrong by LeAnn Rimes or Suspicious Minds by Elvis. Something like that. Love songs, Christmas Songs, Funny songs. I already have Under the Scotsman's Kilt for a funny song. Thank you all so much for your help. I really appreciate it.

Resolved Question: What goes around comes around ? Fate / Destiny ?
THis man his name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day, while trying to make a living for his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby bog. He dropped his tools and ran to the bog.
There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a terrified boy, screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the lad from what could have been a slow and terrifying death.
The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman's sparse surroundings An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved.
'I want to repay you,' said the nobleman. 'You saved my son's life.'
'No, I can't accept p ayment for what I did,' the Scottish farmer replied waving off the offer. At that moment, the farmer's own son came to the door of the family hovel.
'Is that your son?' the nobleman asked.'Yes,' the farmer replied proudly. 'I'll make you a deal. Let me provide him with the level of education my own son will enjoy. If the lad is anything like his father, he'll no doubt grow to be a man we both will be proud of.' And that he did. Farmer Fleming's son attended the very best schools and in time, graduated from St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in London, and went on to become known throughout the world as the noted Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of Penicillin.
Years afterward, the same nobleman's son who was saved from the bog was stricken with pneumonia.
What saved his life this time? Penicillin.
The name of the nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill. His son's name?
Sir Winston Churchill.
