Things That Make You Go... WTF?

In the absence of further evidence to the contrary... and given no trace of any such song (even though, as mentioned, someone recalls her Granny singing it...), I believe you may be shockingly close to the truth here.
One response to my inherent query to the Scots Language forum - they have close to 5,000 subscribers, so if they've all never come across a related song, seems the following conclusion is reasonable:
"I think it's mibbes jist a bit of nonsense. Nae meaning ataw. But it gets folk wunnering!".
Well done, sir.
Duly awarded one of Scotland's finest honours, 'A pat on the heid and a Mars bar'.
Deep fried, of course...

Please may I point out AGAIN that the doctrine of Immaculate Conception has no relation to the conception and birth of Christ. It is His mother, Mary whose conception was considered "immaculate" (only from the 19th century onwards, due to the visions of St Bernadette Soubirous)). Mary's conception to Elizabeth was immaculate as she was conceived without the taint of original sin (not without sexual intercourse) in order to be a suitable vessel for Christ. Jesus is both wholly human and wholly divine in one person, conceived by the action of the Holy Spirit on His mother.

Had a couple of interviews come up in the last week with large food manufacturers, one of them owns a number of household name brands, I always research prospective employers on companies house and have a look at their last set of accounts.
One has made 32million losses in the last year they filed which is worse than the year before, the other has made the UK company dormant while their US parent company picks up their losses.
Apparent reason is rising raw material costs while buying power of supermarkets is holding prices down.
Quite disturbing when you get into thinking about it, our zombie economy, where an awful lot of what we eat isn't actually viable to make for any length of time. Something has to give there.

Fucking great ..
Three bottles of vodka have gone missing within the last three days from the Mrs's work place, her boss has just sent her a pm asking if she has any ideas where they could be. I don't think he's accusing her or anything, the place has been back open to the public for the last three days so other staff have been there .. the only thing is, she phoned me last night because the place was dead so I popped down to see her for about 20 minutes. Unless these bottles have been put somewhere else, I've got a couple of gut instinct ideas about who could have nicked them. Her boss doesn't know I popped in last night, I've told the Mrs that if he asks she's to tell him I did. I'm paranoid now they might think it was me even though it wasn't

I didn't say it didn't involve Jesus. Jesus was conceived by Mary via the Holy Spirit while she remained virgin. BUT Jesus' conception is NOT The Immaculate Conception - it was a conception by the Holy Spirit upon a human woman. The doctrine of the Immaculate Conception is the belief that Mary herself was conceived "immaculate" to her parents Joachim and Anne, i.e. without the stain of human sin and is the only human being to have been so conceived. So Mary may be referred to as "Immacuate Conception" as one of her titles; Bernadette Soubirous, later St Bernadette of Lourdes, told her interrogators that her vision of Mary told her this, saying, "I am the Immaculate Conception". The phrase does not refer to Jesus' own conception, although people often assume it does.

Yep .. I used to work for my Dad as an accounts clerk in the early 90's, everyone was on edge when we were told money was missing from the safe including me because I knew the safe code. They caught the culprit in the end but I can still remember getting back home one day and saying to my Dad "I've no idea who's robbing from your safe but I promise you that when you find out, it isn't going to be me." .. it's a horrible atmosphere to work in.

Had it happen as a teenager when I had a bar job, barmaid's partner was a taxi driver and he'd stashed his takings in our back room one night when they went missing, I didn't know until the next night and just happened to have bought some new trainers and a jacket that day... might as well have just shot myself in the face and been done with it. She made life shit as hell for me after that.

Them boobies are far too big, she gonna have back problems, and what is wrong with her voice, and how did colouring her skin make her eyes go brown *scratches head* And do they do teal I may look a tad like a smurf but i will have cool eyes

The skin colouring injections affected her eyes--and her brain, I'd conjecture.
This could go in Oh the Irony or elsewhere but it's a definite WTF for me!
