YAMARRIOT Mythical hotel which only appears every 40 years like the fabled Brigadoon, reported to be due an appearance in Gorgie in the year 2011, but don't hold your breath.
YAMTHINK
The keyword here is blackwhite. Like so many Yam words, this word has two mutually contradictory meanings. Applied to an opponent, it means the habit of impudently claiming that black is white, in contradiction of the plain facts. Applied to a Yam, it means a loyal willingness to say that black is white when Vlad discipline demands this. But it means also the ability to believe that black is white, and more, to know that black is white, and to forget that one has ever believed the contrary. This demands a continuous alteration of the past, made possible by the system of thought which really embraces all the rest. YAMTHINK is basically the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.
Yamplications
Unfortunate and unforseeable set of difficulties that happen with alarming frequency in Yamland. Can make business take much, much longer than expected.

Noted for their long beards, dungarees & large 'close knit' families. Yamish people are poor, they work the land, ploughing furrows at Riccarton and reaping what they sow.
It was suggested that a massive investment was required to bring them into the 21st century however they seem happy to get into increasing debt knowing their Deity Vlad will come true and deliver them to the promised land.
Do they celebrate 'Yam Kippur'?Quote:

YAMLET -
Tragicomedy set in Tynecastle - a lonely Scottish outpost.
The eponymous hero comes to resent his mother's new husband Romanov - a money-grabbing east European of doubtful reputation who plans to turn the castle into a hotel and conference centre after getting rid of Yamlet and his followers who are all clowns.
The fun really starts when a dropped cigarette causes the castle to burn down. Romanov, who has failed to keep up the insurance payments is ruined and slinks away back east under a hail of cans and Buckfast bottles.
Yamlet saves the day by persuading the powers-that-be to allow him to start all over again in the East of Scotland league, a group of small traders. Unfortunately, his girlfriend, ignorant of Yamlet's upturn in fortune goes and throws herself in the river. That's the tragic bit.
Yam Aid
Protest concert held in support of the Yams plight, not officially endorsed by either Bob Geldof, Bono or Midge Ure.
Although Bob Soldoff, Ohno and Midge Urine are all confirmed headliners.Quote:
