Scotland?

[DrDom]

Whats the point?

[bigbadwolf]

There isn't one!!! Scotland, in my opinion, is getting far too casual in it's attitude towards London. If I were in charge I'd have the mcscoundrals back under the Parlimentary jack boot in no time.

They make award winning Whisky though.

[Mick Mac]

no point now the US public has boycotted its whisky in response to lockerbie release. The whisky was the best bit.

[Brendan]

It?s a bit like England but colder and it doesn?t have as many wankers.

[Jah Lush]

Actually Brendan it's more like New Zealand but a lot nearer and without the sheep and whisky.

[bigbadwolf]

But they've got more gingers Brendan, and we all know they haven't got a soul.

[Fear 'n boozin]

I say give 'em independence so they can become the small, petty, backwards looking country they so desperatly want to be. I say that as a scot too.

(And they have plenty of @#$%& too!)

[bigbadwolf]

The face of Scottish independence.

I like your style F n B. Your abstract take on a nation trying to pull themselves out of the shitter is a refreshing representation for an Englishman such as myself.

[Jah Lush]

Blimey Fear & Boozing I thought you were a Hampshire chappie seeing as you support Southampton and there is no trace of a sweaty accent. Must be parentage or were you born there?

[Keef]

It would be a better place if they would just publicly hang Alex Salmond (and I am very very anti capital punishment, but for this guy I'd consider an exception).

[Fear 'n boozin]

Mums side of the familly Jah. Dads side is some mongrol celtic mix. And yes, I'm more on the Hants side of things. COYR!

[Asset]

Plenty of sheep there Jah.

Also a huge wealth of cultural history

I quote like the place. I say that as someone about as scottish as FnB.

This thing is so ridiculous, reminds me of the freedom fries thing.

Especially as a)the sort of American who buys scotch is unlikely to give ashit about calls for a boycott (same ones who have doubtless been enjoying their scotch with an illegal cuban cigar) and

b)he probably didn't do it anyway, any longterm reader of Private Eye knows there are a lot of unanswered questions that compassionate release rather than an appeal was designed to avoid.

[bigbadwolf]

Mockney,

just when I thought you couldn't be more of a prince among men you go and drop this gem in our laps!

I've been reading Private Eye about as loyally as I've been reading the Viz.

It's hilarious and well written!

[mockney piers]

I think it should he required readig by law frankly!!

[Fear 'n boozin]

Couldn't agree more, PE hates the goings on at Holyrood!

[mockney piers]

And likes mr salmond even less than keef.

Than keef does I should say. Private eye has yet to opine on our keef, he keeps his nose clean does that lad.

[Keef]

Unless it's a special occasion.

I want to visit Scotland, never been there, and would like to. Have met a fair few really pretty, yet completely filthy Scottish girls, so the place has plenty to offer! :)-D

[Fear 'n boozin]

maybe you could write about your experiences for Private Eye on second thoughs, the trip your planning seems more suited to Hustler. Aren't you married with a family?!

[Jah Lush]

Deep fried Mars bar for you Keef.

[Fear 'n boozin]

sounds like a good trip, can I come? We could do some in-depth research and report back, thus answering the OP with hard evidence and experience. Any chance of forum sponsorship?

[Keef]

Good call!

Deep fried Mars bar for you Keef.

Marianne Faithfull style*? ;-)

* just a myth according to her, and more importantly, Keef Richards. If he says it didn't happen, that's good enough for me.

[Jah Lush]

Here's a good road trip for you guys. I'm a great admirer of Scottish literature and having read Iain Bank's Raw Spirit: In Search Of The Perfect Dram recently I'd quite like to replicate his road trip visiting the local distileries and trying out all that lovely Scotch. So Keef and Fear are you in?
