Pretty? You've obviously never heard a drunk Glaswedgian. It's just all vowel sounds and swear words rolled together!

Yeah, I was right... Aussie too.

Are there only drunk people on Scotland?????

LOL
 
Ok, hold on a second everyone. You're making Scotland look like the most disgusting place ever! 🙁 And Five by Five isn't helping with his hatred of Glasgow. 😉 I think he must have been only hanging around the bad areas. And don't say it's all a bad area! It's not, it has nice sparkly bits too. (He's just jealous). And Edinburgh is pretty boring, by the way. You know, the old Glaswegian saying? 'There's more fun to be had at a Glasgow stabbing than at an Edinburgh wedding!'



And we have the cutest cows, the highland coo!

Err, you won't find many of them in Glasgow city centre.... You would find tons in Edinburgh. Plastic, mind. I never did figure out why there were suddenly hundreds of plastic cows all over the city one morning. That was a very strange time.

OCH, it's just how we dae it here. It's always in the nicest possible way, you know, we're a rowdy but helpful bunch. **leaves thread to go oot the toon chibbin'**
 
Its very difficult to explain to someone who isn't Scottish, that when you call them a bawbag or a useless wankstain that it is said with a modicum of affection. Especially when you grow in a little run down housing estate and everybody speaks that way. Its very difficult not to develop that mode of referring to someone when you are constantly subjected to it day after day.

Anyway, social problems aside, Scotland is magnificent. We have probably influenced world society more than any other nation. With three simple words, telephone, television, and penicillin.

And then from those 3 things you have to consider everything that has come into fruition because of them. The internet for example. How many medical advances came about because we could stop people dying from simple infections.

Mind you, these things have their downsides too.. and on behalf of my people, I would like to apologise to the world for Reality Tv, mobile ringtones, and pharmaceutical companies foisting god knows what crap on an unwitting public that believes everything ever told to them, and that don't realise a good clip round the ear now and again will do a hell of a lot more than being diagnosed with some new fangled acronym masquerading as an illness and handed a packet of pills everyday.

Phew! That sentence got a bit lengthy, I stop breathing when I'm typing(I'm a man, a real man, two things at once? no chance matey) and I wasn't sure if I was going to make it to the end.

I'll bet you it was a Scot who introduced the word 'going' into particular speech patterns. I wish I could eradicate the word altogether from my vocabularly, especially recently it has been really bugging me, but I just know it's not going to happen...

And finally... actually before the finally, I didn't know that JK rowling was English. Is that a definite? Or is this one of those Tony blair con stories to make the English feel better about themselves because they never produce anyone or anything of any note... (Just kidding, put your cricket bats down, chaps...)

So finally, I can't offer any weight to the story that A scot had something to do with the beginning or the construction, or whatever the haggis, of the Us Navy, but I'll betya its probably true. Some great Scot, way back when, probably donated some semen to the cause.

Boom boom. (I know, I know, it was gawd awful, I apologise.)

Yup! From her biog on her publisher's site -
J. K.(Jo) Rowling was born in Chipping Sodbury in the UK in 1965. Such a funny-sounding name for a birthplace may have contributed to her talent for collecting odd names.

I really did think she was Scottish. An impression I can only have picked up by reading newspaper articles. I swear, fart in this countrys direction and we'll claim it as our own.
