Kirkcaldy High Needs a New Motto

Gordon Brown gave his inaugural speech today as Prime Minister. He talked about his willingness to serve and how he had been at Kirkcaldy High and had taken their motto to heart. We waited with bated breath. The motto? 'I will try my utmost'. Gee whizz.

It brought to mind the 'There's a lot Glasgowing on' that died a death approximately a week after it was launched; 'What's it called? Cumbernauld' and my personal favourite, the 'Cote-du-Bridge' campaign for Coatbridge, that was accompanied by a picture of the canal with a swan on it. (They just managed to keep the shopping trollies out of sight.)

Whatever happened to arrogance? Insouciance? Confiance? My old schools' (and no, i'm not going to tell you what one I went to) mottos were the thoughtful 'Not for school, but for life we learn'; the magnificently arrogant 'I was born for greater things' and Coatbridge itself has the very Calvinist motto, 'Laborare est orare' ,'To work is to pray'.
C'mon Kirkcaldy, you can do better than that. Get some fire in your belly. Send your suggestions in here.
