    <snip very amusing - if slightly biased - view of scotland/scots>

    Aye... Well responded there Frooty...

    And don't forget who has all the Nukes - just in case England ever considers
    going for independance! ;o)~

    But seriously tho TOG - you really should try the Kilt sometime *very*
    comfortable - and a great 'puller' when the girlies are around! :eek:)

    Oh - and don't get me going on Haggis wi' bashed neaps and tatties -
    yummmmmmmmmmmm....

    Slainte!

    sit in a povvo's pub drinking tennents, watching
    What? Oh, and that reminds me: the Jocks don't speak English, either.
    I'm sure they *can*, but a bit like the Welsh, they prefer to adopt the
    local patois purely to try and irritate any Sassenachs within earshot.

    Ah, the great Scots delicacy: deep-fried Mars bar.

    Returning to kilts, I never understood why, in one of the foulest
    climates on earth, somebody thought it was a good idea to fresh-air
    one's multiplication machinery. It's as if the Saharan tribes decided
    to adopt the fur coat as a badge of honour.

    Actually, isn't today's tartan kilt a relatively recent development?
    19th century or something? Lost in the mists of modernity?

    No arguments from over here either. But mainly becasue it's too far
    away to be much affected by an influx of brits.
    Heh. With all the languages/dialects spoken in our office, and so many
    accents, it's the scots english that's generally hardest to
    understand, apparently.

    It is relatively speaking modern. It came from the plaid that highlanders
    used to wear which was just a long length of tartan that they wrapped
    around their body and legs toga-esque. This was then shortened to being
    simply wrapped around the waist, hence the kilt.

    Hmmm. My top 3 "Totty by country" chart would go something like:

    1. Italy
    2. Spain
    3. Russia (a surprise late entry)

    I've always found French women disappointingly unattractive, and
    Aussies must keep there good looking birds locked in the cellar.

    uh huh. Not spent enough time there to judge, to be honest. From the
    couple of days I've spent in Dublin, I didn't think they were anything
    above average.

    If you're in Ljubljana, then let us know what's good/bad, eh?
    Ha! This was organised with a mate, before my SO came on
    the scene, so she's not going. Not that I'd get up to
    anything....

    I've eaten at the likes of the Ubiquitous Chip, some of the finest
    scottish food available. It was shite.

    Sure. Tennents sells like hot cakes down here, hadn't you noticed?
