FREEDOM!!!!

I am happy with what shape I am. My partner is tall and slim while I am shortish and a bit hour-glassy, but let's not think Marilyn Monroe though, as that would definitely give a wrong impression. I agree with Petty. The guys I know like all sorts of different shapes, depending on their eye, but too skinny or too fat is generally (but not always) frowned upon as they see it as kind of unhealthy. I sort of agree. Healthy makes anyone look better I think. Anyway, just my thoughts.

I'm happy with my shape too. Age should be no barrier.

Oh Pseudo-Kafria, that sounds cheeky somehow. Hmm? Are you teasing your other half again?

Here's a handy test in case you might really be Scottish and not know it. If you agree with these you are probably Scottish (or in need of help).

1. You consider scattered showers with outbreaks of sunshine as good weather.
2. The only sausage you like is square.
3. You got Oor Wullie and The Broons annuals at Xmas.
4. You see cops and hear someone shout 'Errapolis'.
5. You have participated in or watched people having a 'square go'.
6. You know that when someone asks you what school you went to they only want to know if you are catholic or protestant.
7. A jakey has asked you for money.
8. You know the right response to 'Ye dancing ?' is 'Y'askin?' followed by 'Ahm askin' and finally 'Then ahm dancin'.
9. You can have an entire phone conversation using only the words 'awright', 'aye' and 'naw'.
10. You can properly pronounce McConnochie, Ecclefechan, Milngavie, and Auchtermuchty.
11. Your favourite pizza is deep fried and battered from the chippy.
12. You measure distance in minutes.
13. You know what haggis is made with and still eat it.
14 You aren't surprised to find curries, pizzas, kebabs, Irn Bru, Buckie, nappies and fags all for sale from the ice cream van.

So funny and informative as well.

If it wasn't for the dodgy accent I'd suspect soemone had been spying on me!

This made me smile, the brilliant Karen in Outnumbered having difficulty with a Scottish guest. (I must have missed this ep- shall have to look it up, anyone know which series its from?)

An insight into Scottish culture, via comedy with the excellent Kevin Bridges.

{{{{{Dear Petty Tyrant,

I didn't know who to turn to, Petty, but you seem just the sort of person (being a horrid Scotshobbit and all) who would know how to get rid of someone. You see, a certain woman from a certain town - just beyond the borders of the Shire, I might add - has been having an unsuitable correspondence with my Wisey - and by means of unsavory channelling I might add, his weak point! I should like to deal with this woman violently, and then consign that woman's handsome body to a mineshaft. How do you think I might go about it?

Please note, I've used extra {{ }}'s so that a certain lady - - can't read between the encryptions (it's an encryption spell of special magnificence ). Basically, how do I get away with it?

You know, I never saw Wisey as the disloyal type. You can't trust no one nowadays, can you!

Yours, under the Protection of an extra strength encryption spell. We wouldn't want that woman to find out I was after her.

Anyway, your advice?}}}}

{{{{{My advice Porgy is speak to Pretty. She has, experience, in this field. But you will have to ask her yourself as I am still in hiding from her over the Lockholes incident. An ole Wisey has always been a sucker for three things, Channeling is one of them and you possess the other two, perhaps you should use those to remind him why he married you in the first place!}}}}}

Yes, but since I bore his children, those two have drooped remarkably - both my smile and my... err.... what was the other thing? ---- Ohh what does it matter anyway...? }}}

I feel like I've stumbled onto the set of loosewomen here...

Dunno about loose Saradoc but with Porgy I'm certainly leaning towards morally ambigous!


Been a small amount of rain in Scotsdale of late, about three months worth in fact in the last couple of days and no sign of it abatting yet.

Jus as well most of the country is so shaped as to funnel most of it onto England!

Happy St Andrews Day fellow Scotshobbits worldwide. slàinte

if i pretend to be asleep maybe a certain erm lady wont bash me over the head with those two things she was talking about. its a good thing ive got guard pussies.

Takes a lot to keep a determined Scotsman from his scotch pies, tunnocks tea cakes and chips. This is Greenock, just across the river from me.

Lolwut.

maybe the hurricane is caused by all that Panda wind.

Dunno I reckon out of 1 Tory MP and 2 pandas it'd be the Tory produces more wind!

Perhaps one of the pandas could replace the Tory MP.

A typically Scottish response to a huge storm.

Had to look up what "bawbag" meant but it's fairly obvious in retrospect. Gotta love the balls the Scottish media have to repeat that.

There even merchandising (isnt there always?!).



Here a vid shot in Gourock- that distant hill, acorss the raging sea under the huge cloud? Thats where I am!! (not the mid distance one- the far one)
