Yer as yaiseless as a pile of snottirz. I don’t think you’ve got the hang of this. A brah day fur pittin oot the washin’ on the greenie poles an’ puhllashees. Wash day. Yir jecket’s on a shoogly nail. You are on your final warning. Yir a lang time deid. Lighten up. Enjoy life while you can. Perfect for locals and visitors to Dundee alike, Dundonians will no doubt recognise themselves in these phrases while tourists will have a momento to treasure.
