Ok, so the new security regs at airports say to be on the lookout for - anyone with a suspicious amount of luggage, anyone with suspicious travel patterns, groups of suspicious looking people all travelling on the same aircraft.

Well, that's anyone who's going to a convention screwed then...

Hiya Sue :)

Not bad at all hun ! I've just been a busy bee with work and getting stuff sorted for going back down too uni in september :D

Hows u doing ?


Lmfao BruTak ........... i've just got this image of a bunch of people with jaffa tatoos on their nappers getting carted off :lol:

[sueKay]

I'm fine...bit sad with current SG news, and peed off that people are boycotting Atlantis...they're shooting themselves in the foot.

Other than that...went shopping today, so all in all I'm good :D

[Bragi]

I know.

People boycotted SG-1 because of the changes in season nine. To repeat that mistake will only ensure we never see Atlantis' 100th episode.




What did ya buy? I just got some new clothes, shoes, dress pants. Real nice stuff. Everything's got a collar. Not quite as GQ as Ba'al, but I'm getting there. ;)

I was wondering why the record number of users was so high then i checked the front page. That's pish. :( That actually really annoys me. Hopefully the S9 Ori arc is finished in some way. BTW, the reason i'm posting hear not in General Discussion is i'm trying to avoid spoilers so eh... feel free to ignore.

[sueKay]

lol..np :)

I bought Serenity and some other DVDs, some tops, jewellery and started the unt for a good priced digital SLR for my photography.

[silverdamascus]

Serenity? Shiny! :D

[sueKay]

I know...bought Firefly last week...loved it :D

[silverdamascus]

Where is that monkey, I want to shoot something! Bloody SciFi. MGM aren't going to let SG:1 die that easily are they? Surely its a fairly big earner for them, isn't it?

[Deano]

Need support im here

[Bragi]

Well, it's been ten years. Ten great years. I'm sorry I waited until season nine before I started watching, but also glad, because it gave me an altogether different perspective from those who'd watched since day one.

SG-1's my favorite show currently airing. I hate to see it go the way my absolute favorite show went, but the Sci-Fi channel is what it is. Sponsers are what they are. Fickle, short-sighted and forgetful.

[Anubis69]

... I recommend checking the front page again. Potential, or just hope of the false kind?

[Lady_E]

Glad your doing good Sue hun :)

I with u all guys it's really sad news :( especially the way every1 was all hyped up at the 200th celebration saying things like "They could go on for a few years yet...." blah blah and the all of a sudden it's like Whoops sorry your getting cut :S

This reminds me of when Angel got cancelled :mad: Stupid bloody Ejits !!!!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr American networks really do my box in :jack_new_anime25:

[sueKay]

I want to smash every single Neilsen box in existence!

It's such a stupid system, the Neilsens...and it ain't fair that Canada, European and Asian fans don't get a say :(

[Thunderbird 2]

Maybe I am keeping the glass half full, but I can't believe that SG1 is gone just yet. MGM have been saying Stargate is their strongest franchise after the Bond films, and there must be a network in the States that recognises that potential - especially considering how popular both SG1 and Atlantis are outside America too. If Robert Cooper thinks there is possible hope, then I am not giving up yet!

In the meantime, at least we still have Atlantis. - If nothing else we may get more stories about the backstory of :beckett: telling us about where he is from in Scotland, and what he did prior to turning up in "Rising Part 1" Ever since "Michael"

Potential Spoiler!, Atlantis Season 2 Michael

I have been wondering if the character is from Tayside as that is where Kenmore is, near Aberfeldy and Crieff, or if he had merely had the calendar as a holiday souvenir.

You are right Suekay, - Its a shame that Europe Canada and Australasia are left in the cold on ratings and popularity. :beckettanime12:

[majorshrl]

I know...bought Firefly last week...loved it :D

My pal loaned me firefly and it's brilliant what a shame they never continued that. why does it all have to be about money and viewers with these companies. The stuff they cancel in the states is streaks ahead of the Crap they put on over here!

[Deano]

Im going to have to watch fire fly, whats it about

[Bragi]

Im going to have to watch fire fly, whats it about

All I know is that the backstory for the show was that there's a huge human empire that's repressive, there was a revolution, and it failed.

[Missster.Freeman]

Deano, check out the Firefly mini site (http://www.gateworld.net/firefly/) here on GateWorld.


As for the cancellation for Stargate, well, to be honest, I barely batted an eyelash. I could see it was in the cards. I probably would've felt it more if SG-1 had ended with the fishing scene at the end of Moebius.

[majorshrl]

think cowboy scavengers in space. No job too small sort of thing and a couple of weird passengers. Fugitives on board, Captain Reynolds and his motley crue trying to earn a crust. Dodgy deals and it's funny too. Having been on the loosing side in the war our heroes also try to avoid the winning alliance side who are after a couple of their passengers, and the girl they are after is definately weird, I haven't seen it all yet. Shotguns in space.

[Deano]

Sounds like serenity

[Deano]

wait it is

[sueKay]

Serenity is the Firefly movie :)

just watched it again...fantastic but so sad!

[Lady_E]

Totally agree with ya on the Neilsons Sue hun :mad:

Bunch of Twats who ever cooked up that system :jack_new_anime25:

[Missster.Freeman]

Is it safe to stick my head up yet? :D There's been too much flak flying around here these past couple of days.

[sueKay]

Well I've had a few run-ins, but if you go into established threads it's much better

[Egeria]

^ If you can find them amidst the wave of repeat threads created lately....what a mess. :S

[BruTak]

I'd just lie to wish my folks a quick Happy Anniversary for Saturday. They'll have been married for 45 years.:)

[silverdamascus]

Congrats to your folks Bru! That's some going :D

[Lady_E]

Congrats to Ma & Da BruTak :lol:

Hope they have a fabby day ;)

[silverdamascus]

Wey! The toffee has been saved! Now if we can only get them to do the same stunt with SG:1!

[majorshrl]

I wuz aboot tae post the best wishes caird when the post office went on that English bank holiday thingy so blame them!

So this will have to do. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEANO.

[Three PhDs]

My mom has Scottish ancestry.Haha, yeah, her and everyone else in your country. It's so funny when the Americans come here and they're like "My ancesters are from here!" and buy the "See you Jimmy" hats and some tartan and some shortbread, the stuff that we hate. All because they're now approximately 1-2% Scottish by descent.

[dipsofjazz]

Hey! I like shortbread! :p

[_WraithQueen_]

i like shortbread too, and i own a kilt :P

[Anubis69]

Aye, how can anyone not like shortbread, it's amazing!

Didn't Deano say it was his bday? It's not on the forum homepage... ah well. No car for him...

[sueKay]

I love Shortbread...I could live on the stuff!

And did you all hear that McCowan's highland toffee got a reprieve? :D

[Missster.Freeman]

Mmm... Highland Toffee. Great for extracting teeth. ;)

I'm with you guys on the shortie. Such goodness from such simple ingredients. :D

[Bragi]

The hell's a "See you Jimmy" hat?

And you're right, a lot of Americans have Scottish ancestry. They came here to seek a better life. I have a snide question I can ask you based on that statement, but since you're the only rude, exclusionist Scot I've met in this thread, I'll spare the rest of your countrymen the condescension you seem so ready to dish out.

[dipsofjazz]

The hell's a "See you Jimmy" hat?
:D This is a 'Jimmy hat'...

I bet it'd be even better with some Nutella to spread on it.

[sueKay]

eew!

I take it you guys don't like hazelnut and chocolate.

[sueKay]

I love nutella...but I prefer it on bread! lol

Shortbread is like a type of biscuit...not like something you'd get from a bakers!

[Bragi]

I put Nutella on plain bread and toast too. Not to mention pancakes.

And ice cream.

And pound cake.

And peanut butter sandwiches.

And, waffles, especially of the Belgian variety.

I tend to put it on anything sweet.

[silverdamascus]

Nutella and peanut butter sandwiches? lol Bleugh!

[BruTak]

Nutella and peanut butter sandwiches? lol Bleugh!
I second the motion... YUK!!!

I tell you what is nice though - Tesco fruit loaf, very lightly toasted, smothered in strawberry jam. Yum-yum! :)

[sueKay]

Here's some random trivia for you

You know that teacher that's been cleared of assaulting an 11 year old boy?

Well he was my teacher for several months when I was at primary school, and there is no way he'd ever hurt a pupil. He was one of the nicest teachers I ever met all through school, and I'm glad he was proven innocent.

Wait. . . isn't it supposed to work the other way around? 'Cause I know that's the way it's supposed to work here, and we ripped that off from y'all. :P

[silverdamascus]

[BruTak]

Thought you couldn't get Irn Bru in the States?

The story I heard was that the Federal Drug Administration wouldn't grant Barrs an import license unless the secret ingredient was disclosed. Barrs, of course, told the FDA where to go, and what to do with themselves when they got there...

[silverdamascus]

I know they have some specialists stores that stock it 'cause one of the yanks in the Beckett thread discovered it and is off to try it! :D Is that really what happened? Hehehehe, that's beautiful. What do they think? We lace with amphetimines or dope or the blood of left-wing martyrs in an attempt to destroy thier beautiful backwards riegime and poison them all, mwahaha!

Not exactly.

Mostly it's a kind of tariff to exclude foreign competition for Coke and Pepsi within the US. There are some legitimite concerns about what exactly is in the drink because X many people out of Y could have nasty complications from ingredient Z. For the longest time Red Bull and other "energy drinks" weren't allowed by the FDA out of concern, mostly from tourine, that the ingredients could be poisonous.

But like I said, it's mostly a form of tariff.

[cheese]

Evening all! Another Scot reporting for duty!

And mmm Irn Bru is awesome!

:D Welcome cheese. Drinks for all...

29p? When was the last time Bru was that cheap? :S I remember (a year ago) when a glass bottle was like 65p and a plastic was 90-something. Amazing value for money! These days a glass is 89p and a plastic is still 90-odd. Maybe that's just where i work though, they've been known to crank the prices up.

OH! That reminds me of a time... one summer day last year, i was extremely bored:

Isn't our Scot's lad Andy Murray doing so well in tennis at the US Open. We are all so proud of him in Scotland:)

I hope to visit good ol' Scotland soon considering the career im following. Unfortunately I don't think I have any Scottish blood in me, my roots are mostly Irish actually.

[Anubis69]

What career if you don't mind my asking? Kilt maker? Whisky brewer? :P If the last one, fancy hooking a chum up??

[Descent]

I doubt I have what it takes to brew good whiskey. :P

TEFL Teacher actually, known as ESL in English speaking countries. I go to other countries and well, teach english. Its what the alternate Daniel was doing in Moebius. :P

[Indiana]

so...when are we all going to have that meet-up?

Was there one arranged?

[sueKay]

no...we've never got that far with the plans, but it'd be nice to meet everyone :)

[Anubis69]

As i sit here, just finished a bit of internet gaming, i find myself bothered by this (question and) insect:

Daddy long-legs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crane_fly). Seriously, was God having a laugh?

Crane Fly, you say? ... I guess you do learn things everyday...

[sueKay]

we've been plagued by them this past while, and my mum and I are phobic of them!

We had 6 in the living room at once, all flying into each other and getting fried in the lights.

[Missster.Freeman]

^Yummeh. Crispy critters! They only bug me when they're buzzin in my lug hole. Grrr...

Anubis, can I be nosey and ask what you were playing online?

Counter Strike: Source. It's annoyingly addictive! I keep losing hours of my life to it... You play it often?

Ps. There was another 2 in my bathroom last night... :mad: They flew into my head at least 3 times which certainly wasn't pleasant when wielding a deadly weapon in the form of a Gilette Mach 3. :eek:

[Missster.Freeman]

Counter Strike: Source. It's annoyingly addictive! I keep losing hours of my life to it... You play it often?
Well actually, I've hardly (if ever) played Counter Strike. :o I'm more of a deathmatch player. Saying that, I don't spend much time playing any kind of games these days...

I have both versions of Counter Strike in my games list. What package did you buy? I have the boxed HL2 package from Game and the original boxed HL from years ago. I should really get into CS, my pal plays it and says it's awesome, apart from the n00bs and the 'pro' wannabes that frequent the game.

[majorshrl]

So another win for Scotland 2 - 1
Do you think it's too early yet to be optomistic for the next world cup?

[Descent]

I live on outskirts of Edinburgh and there are some real good Irish pubs so plenty Celtic blood of either Irish or Scottish roaming around to make you feel at home :cameron:

Ah, excellent! :D

Counter Strike: Source. It's annoyingly addictive! I keep losing hours of my life to it... You play it often?

I play it, I've even played on a few foreign servers (lag included).

[sueKay]

lol...

2 - 1's good...considering that they drew with France a few months back :)

[sueKay]

Hey Descent!

Plenty of Irish in Scotland...part Irish myself :)

[Bragi]

Hey Descent!

Plenty of Irish in Scotland...part Irish myself :)

Supposedly everyone is.

[sueKay]

One quarter Irish on both sides

[Missster.Freeman]

^ Does that make you half Irish? :P

Apparently, my surname can be traced back to Ireland. Do I consider myself Irish though? I say nup. My bro in law's family roots are English, but he considers himself 100% Scottish. Truth be, the Scots have a healthy mix of blood and culture. :)


What about the footie last night? OMFG at Germany! That was a rugby score. :D Well done Scotland, England AND Northern Ireland beating Spain.

[sueKay]

so what do we all think of the latest Atlantis rumours?

I've heard they're gonna kill Beckett :(

[Missster.Freeman]

oh noes :eek: *sharp intake of breath* I will stop watching if that happens. Where did you read this sueKay?

:eek:....

Well, hes not the only scottish guy on the expedition....right?

[Anubis69]

Well actually, I've hardly (if ever) played Counter Strike. :o I'm more of a deathmatch player. Saying that, I don't spend much time playing any kind of games these days...
I'm the opposite, i only tried HL2 Deathmatch the other day... It's a lot better than i thought it would be TBH. Im managed to "own" once i found the magnum! :D

I've only got CS: Source but my brother had the original from back in the day from HL1... No idea what he did with it though! To answer your question, the game of the year edition of HL2. (It came with CS: source, HL2 Deathmatch and HL: Source) My bro also bought Day of Defeat Source the other day, which looks pretty amazing. I haven't played it yet but it does look crackin'..
The n00bs aren't so bad IMO, but the pro wannabes, as you put it, get right on my.. nerves. I take great pleasure in ruining their scores...
I play it, I've even played on a few foreign servers (lag included).
LOL aye... i seem to always end up on the German ones. :S There's nothing better than headshotting before being insulting in German! :P

[BruTak]

If Carson Beckett is killed off, the Team SG-999 will be - most displeased...:mad:

[bliv]

There space to squeeze another into this thread? :cool:

[Missster.Freeman]

Whoa! Brutak, put spoiler tags around that before Anubis69 sees it. :D

[sueKay]

Welcome Bliv!

Bru - spoilers!!

[Bragi]

I always appreciate the guts it takes to kill off a fan favorite.

Besides, it's sci-fi. Nobody ever really dies in sci-fi.

[cheese]

Thanks for the warm welcome guys! :) Nice to see us doing well at the Football for a change eh?:cool:

[Deano]

Thanks for the warm welcome guys! :) Nice to see us doing well at the Football for a change eh?:cool:

Thanks for the welcome. It's nice to see a few people from this corner of the world exist on the forums :)

[jebus]

I'm a few percents scotish!

[dipsofjazz]

I'm a few percents scotish!
:D Welcome jebus, and also welcome bliv.

Those few percents of Scottishness you have are the most important! :P

[Teal'c's Courage]

I think I'm still in a state of shock about Scotland being top of their table in the Euro Football. Everytime we tend to get excited about football results its lands up short lived. Maybe this time a miracle has truelly happened and we have a dream team eh!:-)

[cheese]

I can't see them being at the top for long, France will probably give us an absolute stuffing. Hopefully we'll be able to hold for a draw, maybe even a lucky win, against Italy.

It could well be another short lived period of joy, but here's hoping not! :)

[Anubis69]

Course, we've still got 3 incredibly hard opposing teams coming up... We shouldn't count out chickens before they've hatched. ;) IMO our best chance is if France run away with the first place and we sneak in the back door... Ukraine and Itally will push us all the way though.

Well me an' the guys will be going with Nick and Kitty (who're first aiders with the St. Andrews Ambulance Association). No firm plans as to whereabouts we'll be, just keep your eyes open for a bunch of suspicious looking young men... ;)
3 questions:
a) Did ye go? b) Have a hoot? c) Best part??

Btw, that description narrowed it down to about 50% of the crowd. :P

[Lady_E]

Hiya peeps


welcome to the little scottish corner of GW Bliv :)

never went to the footie or caught it on the the telly cos i was bloody working :mad: .......... but i hit the roof when i heard the final result :D

:lol: MON THE SCOTS :lol:


Well this will be the last time i'll be on GW for god know's how long cos i'm moving back down to Huddersfield to start uni on Wed and i won't have acess to the internet except in the library :( so here's hoping i get on again soon ;)

Keep up the chin waggin folks :lol:

[Sandmonkey]

Scots rock.I love them and their accent!

[Bragi]

Good news everyone!

That possible semester in Canada has morphed into a possible two in Britain. Like a catapiller that turns into a Butterfly. Only I'm not an insect.

[silverdamascus]

Bru! For christs sake man, do you want to be bludgeoned to death with a laptop? Bloody spoiler tags!

On another note, I take it we actually won a football match then? I'm impressed, I don't follow it but as far as I'm aware we tend to loose to everyone other than scrivovia, filtchistinostivaria or some country whose players have never actually seen a football before.

Probably why the Tartan Army have such a good reputation - the guts it takes to turn up and watch your national team get trounced and have a hell of a time doing it! We came, we lost, we got pissed and a great time! Sort of says something about Scots in general, doesn't it? :D

[majorshrl]

Lol Yep that's us the optomistic nation. We keep going just in case we might win. Our glass is always half full!!

[BruTak]

3 questions:
a) Did ye go? b) Have a hoot? c) Best part??

Btw, that description narrowed it down to about 50% of the crowd. :P
A - Yes. B - Oh good grief YES!. C - The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.

All these jets are all very nice, but... There's nothing in the world like the sound of a Rolls Royce Merlin engine in full flow - equal part growl and purr, it sends shivers down your spine.

Anyway, we kind of think that SG-999 might put in an appearance in two years time. One of two things will probably happen:

A - No one will bat an eyelash at these strange looking individuals with the curious unit patch. :cool:
B - The RAF Police will lift us and chuck us in the glasshouse for wearing non-regulation uniforms and equipment. :S

I have this horrible image in my head of myself, stolling around in full SG-999 gear with my captain's rank slides on, and some poor wee Air Cadet saluting the rank not the man... ;)

[majorshrl]

I say chaps we're getting awfully far down the pages. Just thought I'd give us a gentle yank back up.

[cheese]

Ahh looking out my window I guess Summer's officially over, it is absolutely chucking it down!

[majorshrl]

Yep we have horizontal rain here and the lecky has been off briefly, wind blowin a gale. I spoke to a guy who said the matrix signs on this side of Carlisle warned of heavy rain and wind now we know it's gonna be bad I mean we always expect it to rain here!

[kkez]

its started chucking it down here and the winds getting up a bit too

[Anubis69]

Yep we have horizontal rain here
lol! That's what i said when i got up today... Anyone seen Ollie Williams in Family Guy? When i was half asleep i actually had this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCNF3wl-UNc) conversation with myself. :S :P
All these jets are all very nice, but... There's nothing in the world like the sound of a Rolls Royce Merlin engine in full flow - equal part growl and purr, it sends shivers down your spine.
I couldn't agree more... *sigh* I'm also quite fond of the Eurofighter. You can feel those afterburners vibrating right through your chest. Amazing!

ETA: Welcome to the thread, and forum, kkez! A fine army we're Irn brewing here... :D

[majorshrl]

That about sums it up pretty well. Still chuckling. Thanks for posting.

By some miracle it stopped when I needed to go out. Hurrah!

[TrustNo1]

My dad says we have Scottish anscestory. Something about Sir Robert the Bruce.

[BruTak]

Anibus69 - Yeah, the Eurofighter Typoon is rather swish ain't it?
It was going through it's display routine when the guys an' me first arrived - the blessed thing was standing on its tailpipes, rocketing skyward on FPM (that's Full Military Power if you must know) and all I could think of was "Oh look, Thunderbird 3..." ;)

[Anubis69]

LOL! I loved how it did 2 routines in the day. Shame the Chinook didn't do 2 as well (or if it did i missed it :() as that was by far my favourite from last year.

Leuchars is so amazing in general. It's like a (stereotypical) male's fantasy... Or Tim Taylor's. "Raw power *grunt*" :D

I got an amazing cardboard pic of the Eurofighter from one of the stalls in the hanger at bottom of the runway... i just tried to scan it in to show you, but it's really bad quality. Dang. Here it is anyway. On the real version it's amazing how much detail you can make out...

[silverdamascus]

Sigh, the boys and their toys. :rolleyes:

So with the stupid yanks that broadcast Stargate in the states taking a 6 month hiatus, that doesn't affect us does it? We'll still get it normally, well I say normally I've not much of an idea what that is, just got sky. I was stuck on Channel Four's broadcasting back home!

We'll have had the second half of the seasons broadcast way in advance of the States then ay?

[Missster.Freeman]

I don't think the six month hiatus will have much effect here. If anything we (you guys with Sky anyway) should have caught up with the Americans by then, with maybe a break for a month or two. Unless Sky postpones the second half of both seasons until they've been aired on Sci Fi, as I doubt if the channel would allow the broadcasts before the US. You might be lucky and get a new episode a day or week after Sci Fi airs them (did that not happen in previous seasons?)

Channel 4 or 'Tee-Four'. :rolleyes: Argh! I hate it and their condescending presenters. And you could sense their indifference every time they introduced SG-1 or Enterprise. I used to watch SG-1 there until I found other methods to see the show.

[silverdamascus]

Other methods are wonderful! :D

[SoulRe@ver]

Heya!

After a much deliberation (a 30 second email convo with Bru'tak), I've decided to open this thread, dedicated to Scots and everything Scottish!!!!

So kick off your boots, grab a whisky and sit back and blether away :DAye lass! What clan ye from?






















jk, just intruding http://img.presence-pc.com/forum/images/perso/kompressor.gif

[Descent]

I got a question actually.

Which city (or town) in Scotland would be a good place to work? Like in terms of safety.

[sueKay]

try nowhere! lol!

And I'll answer the clan question :D

Mother's side - Buchanan

Father's side - McFarlane

:)

[Descent]

:lol:

I'm only wondering cause I don't want my mum to worry about me when I take said job. :P

[sueKay]

Well where is it? :)

[Bragi]

Just tell her that Scotland is crime free.

If she doesn't believe you, throw some dirt in her eyes and run away.

[silverdamascus]

sueKay's just teasing Descent, we're not a terribly dangerous place. Statistically I think we've pretty low crime rates, probably just depends on what kind of thing you're worried about.

[sueKay]

Yeah I was kidding...sorry if anyone thought otherwise!

We have bad spots like anywhere else, but none where people work...unless it's in a take away or a corner shop away out in some wee town!

[Anubis69]

Indeed. Scotland's pretty harmless... Might have to adjust to the sense of humour around here though....

If you're in a big city, forget about any problems. You can walk through Glasgow and only be bothered by those Subway folk, hari krishnas and on a bad day those folk selling crappy student cards. Apart from that no one pays anyone more than a glance!

I find it kind of liberating. I walk down the high street in my home town and feel like everyone's watching or i have to watch out, but in Glasgow everyone's stuck in their own mind. That's me presonally though.

[SoulRe@ver]

sueKay's just teasing Descent, we're not a terribly dangerous place. Statistically I think we've pretty low crime rates, probably just depends on what kind of thing you're worried about.Isn't Nessie still supposed to be roaming about? :|

[Descent]

Well where is it? :)

Well thats what I'm asking. :P I could find work basically anywhere, especially in the larger cities like Glasgow so thats why I was curious.

Just tell her that Scotland is crime free.

If she doesn't believe you, throw some dirt in her eyes and run away.

And here I was thinking I was a guy. Guess not! :eek: :P

Indeed. Scotland's pretty harmless... Might have to adjust to the sense of humour around here though....

Haha, I doubt it. :P I'm pretty easily amused and also easy to get along with. ;)

[zantri]

Nowhere in Scotland is really very bad IMO. It is generally a really nice place to live.

IMO the only problem you should have is that some accents (e.g. Doric (Aberdonian here)) can be a little hard to understand :D

[Missster.Freeman]

Well, I was going to say Scotland is harmless but... just last night my sis and her hubby had the CID at their door to tell them they had three windows smashed in on the family car. Apparently, the CID officer told them that a bunch of guys were going around the area taking pot shots at cars and bus stops with some kind of marble gun.

As for Glasgow, yeah it's okay to walk about in the centre of the city during the day. At nights, you have to be a bit more careful. I wouldn't fancy hanging around the housing schemes at night though... there's always some poor bugger getting stabbed. :S

[sueKay]

I think Glasgow city center and west End are okay...east end's a bit iffy as are the peripheral housing schemes.

Scotland gets everything backwards...in other countries it's inner-city crime and problems...with Scotland the problems are on the outskirts!

I think that Glasgow's the best place to start off with if you move over here...it's the biggest city in the middle of a big conurbation. :)

edit: here's some good wiki links for you :)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glasgow
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edinburgh
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aberdeen
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dundee
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverness
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling

[Descent]

Truth be told, I'm more of a small town guy myself but alright, I shall take your guy's advice to heart. Thanks a lot. :)

[zantri]

Glasgow, or Ediburgh are probably your best starting points. If you want somewhere a little smaller, you might try Aberdeen or maybe Inverness.

[sueKay]

Well by American standards all our cities are small!

[Descent]

Well wait a sec. This is what Wikitravel had to say about Scotland Safety:

Scotland has a relatively low crime rate and is generally a safe country although Glasgow is classified as one of the most violent cities in Europe due to sectarian differences. Because of the high Glagwegian crime rate the United Nations labelled Scotland as the most dangerous country in the developed world but while this should not be of great concern it is wise to exercise caution and vigilence at all times while visiting Scotland.

Violent crime is a particular problem in inner-city urban areas of Glasgow and parts of Edinburgh. This is also true of most areas of public housing in most Scottish cities. Steer clear of groups of drunks and youths.

It is highly reccommended especially if in Glasgow not to leave the city centre area unless you are going into the West of the city.

When visiting Glasgow, avoid getting involved in the sectarianism that accompanies football. Do not drink in a Rangers or Celtic affiliated bar and be wary if someone asks what football team you support.

So maybe not Glassgow? :S

[sueKay]

I've never had any bother in Glasgow...as long as you're not an idiot you'll be fine.

And that report has been called into question more than once.

[Descent]

Oh I doubt I'll have any problems, I was just bringing it up. :)

[dipsofjazz]

:D Stay away from all those west coast folk in here, and come to the east coast. It's far safer! :P Come to Edinburgh, Dundee, Aberdeen, or even Perth.
Aye, we're a far nicer bunch here on the east side of the country. :cool:

[Missster.Freeman]

Aye, we're a far nicer bunch here on the east side of the country. :cool:
Mibbies aye, mibbies naw. ;)

One thing is true, yer a much caulder bunch over there. :P What with you all facing onto the North Sea. :D

[dipsofjazz]

Mibbies aye, mibbies naw. ;)

One thing is true, yer a much caulder bunch over there. :P What with you all facing onto the North Sea. :D
:D hehehe! It's just as well that we're a hardy bunch here in the east.

[silverdamascus]

So the Wiki entry on Scot's crime is entirely about Neds, interesting.

[Indiana]

Did you hear about the dead guy found in my garden? And then the guy who got hacked to death in Easterhouse in the middle of the street? :\ I sometimes wonder whats going on with the world nowadays. So much crime. I dont know what happened with the body in our garden, but the guy in Easterhouse was a shame.

:eek:...

[Nel]

Don't worry about the reports Descent, Scotland isn't a particularly dangerous place to live. After dark, you do have to be sensible about things, but that's true everywhere nowadays.

I was born near Glasgow and live near Edinburgh, so I won't say which is best. You could always try somewhere more central like Stirling - it really depends which line of work you're looking into.

All the best with the move to Scotland - we are a friendly bunch - honestly.

[Descent]

I know Nel, I'll manage. ;) I'm more worried about my mum rather than myself, thats why I was asking.

[silverdamascus]

I need a new username, want to ask one of the mods to change it cause I'm not too fond of it and some religious connotations are apparantly a little too strong. I suck at this sort of thing...

[Anubis69]

ditto. I always come up with the good names about 2 months after i join something like a forum and try to make a mental note.... As you can see by my current name i usually, if not always, forget. :S

What are you thinking of changing to?

[Indiana]

I usually keep the same name on forums. It's either Indiana, Indy, Smith or Colin Ross Smith.

I used to use aussie back in my early days, but not now.

[Missster.Freeman]

This is the first time I've used Missster.Freeman (I only came up with name when I joined GateWorld). I have a few other aliases as well, mostly used in-game when I'm playing Half Life online and in other games.

[sueKay]

I hate my name...but it's basically the only one I use online, so I won't change it.

[Nel]

My name is also the one I use in most online situations (or at least variations of it). It saves having to think up something else (or to try to be witty and smart - which I'm not good at).

[Bragi]

I have many names.

Only my fellow sci-fi nerds and the people on an unrelated MMOG forrum know me as Bragi.

And what's this business of saving Beckett? Is Paul McGillion thinking of pulling a Shanks?

[Descent]

And what's this business of saving Beckett? Is Paul McGillion thinking of pulling a Shanks?

Not another Shanks. Go here (http://www.savecarsonbeckett.com)

Thanks.

That'll be too bad, but if they kill him right right I won't mind so much. Something like how Wash ate it.

[Descent]

You liked Wash's death?? Wish I could say the same... :(

[Bragi]

You liked Wash's death?? Wish I could say the same... :(

I am a leaf on the wind. . . . . watch me soa-DEAD!
I liked how sudden it was. I liked Zoe's reaction and I loved when Kaylee asked where Wash was. That's when it really sunk in. With Book, you knew it was coming.

I didn't like that Joss killed Wash off (ditto Book), although I always respect the guts it takes. I liked the suddenness and I loved the moment of stunned silence when Zoe said Wash wasn't coming. I also liked how it increased the suspense that maybe everybody's going to die.

So if they do something similar with Beckett, I won't mind so much.

[Descent]

So if they do something similar with Beckett, I won't mind so much.

Even if it is a good death, I'd still be mad at the fact that they killed him. We wouldn't have moments like these anymore:

Dr. Beckett: You have a date, Rodney? With a woman?
McKay: It is simply two adults sharing some friendly...Yes, with a woman!

[BruTak]

Perth's nice. I've got friends up there I visit on a fairly regular basis. :)

[Thunderbird 2]

Hello all!

Right, where do I start?

Ok. Personal safety in Scotland. - Like anyplace else, it has good spots and bad. Although I live in Bristol now, it is similar to Dundee, Edinburgh or Glasgow, there are some parts of the city you would not want to go! Everywhere else you just need to be sensible. (No waving the mobile around or shouting "Look how much money I have got!" when its getting dark!) This also goes for smaller places like Perth, Pitlochry, Blairgowrie, Kirriemuir and St Andrews. (Only been there a few times, but its nice!)

Incidentally, In Edinburgh I can recommend a brilliant Bistro restaurant called Medeterino on Broughton Street. The Stuffed Chicken is particularly good, as are their Mochas! :beckettanime16:

Online names. - I always go by either Thunderbird 2 or Bajor, depending where I am. I have always loved Trek, and I love the philosophy the Thunderbirds characters live by. - Plus TB2 is my favourite Sci Fi vehicle. Always has been! :beckettanime04:

Season 3 Atlantis - Conjectural Spoiler?

Dr Beckett. - I have posted my thoughts on this matter in a spoiler thread that is running in Atlantis Season 3 here on Gateworld at http://forum.gateworld.net/showthread.php?p=5859415#post5859415

[Nel]

I found us lurking on the fourth page - it's been a busy week in Scotland obviously.

Thanks for the tip Thunderbird 2 - I'll give that a try. I don't think I've been there.

Also with all the conjecture about the death of our Scottish doctor, it would be a shame if we lost the Scottish presence on Atlantis, wouldn't it. I hope the rumours are wrong. I don't think Atlantis would be same without our good Dr Beckett.

[Anubis69]

Who's with me? A 1 and a 2 and a 3 and a...

[Missster.Freeman]

LOL I screwed up the comment in the rep I gave you Indiana. :o I meant to say - thanks for the link; listening to the song right now. :D

ETA: Wow thanks sueKay. I'm positively glowing now. :D

[Indiana]

I got some victory green from sue! :D:D:D:D:D

What you think of this song Misster.freeman? To think this song was put up for a world cup song when Scotland went to the '98 world cup. The droll, pessimistic "Don't Come Home Too Soon" was picked by the SFA. It has to be a really negative song. Oh yeah lads, don't come home too soon. yeah right. What a good message. It's like saying "Don't screw up again guys".

I like the optimistic lyrics of "Pride of a Scottish Nation"..."One day we will rise again to hear the sounds of Glory, fly the flag above our heads, the Lion'll never die! may the Highlands be a treasure to keep for ever more and we will see the pride again and hear the Lion Roar!"

I can imagine the Scotland crowd chanting "one daaaayyy!!!!" in football matches. Can't imagine them signing "Don't Come Home too soon."

[silverdamascus]

Hehehehe :D I don't believe it. Way to go lads! :D

Oh, the pride and hysterical amusement that courses through my veins. May even find the highlights to watch now. Some celebratory green all around!

Oh I really hated that Del Amitri song. I had no idea Pride of a Scottish Nation was up for the World Cup anthem. It's far more uplifting than "Don't Come Home Too Soon."

[MissX]

Och aye

[silverdamascus]

Of course typically that's probably going to be the highlight for the next oooh fiften years? lol.

[Anubis69]

Hey hey... guess what? Christmas lights are going up in George Square. "lol"

[Missster.Freeman]

That biscuit sounds nice Thunderbird 2. I love a cuppa tea and a biscuit. Unfortunately, I've used up a years worth of calories after the fish supper and bottle of Irn Bru (not diet ;)) I consumed on the way back down from Glasgow tonight. *burps* :P

[BruTak]

Diet Irn Bru is a vile and disgusting substance.

[_WraithQueen_]

yes, yes it is

but its always funny to swap diet irn bru into a normal irn bru bottle then laugh at the person drinking it

I saw the sign as I went in & let out this really excited squeal, and stood in front of the door for about 3 min txting people and putting a note in my mobile planner with this goofy grin on my face, pratically jumping up and down as I stood there!

I'm going as well.

Nice one folks. Post some pics if you're allowed to take any. :)

Hmmm, tricky... I'm working till 1400hrs that day, and the train journey from where I am to Edinburgh is at least an hour and a half.

Besides, I'm going to see Hayseed Dixie play live at the Glasgow Barralands on the 13th, so I don't think I'll have much in the way of spare cash.

However, I'll be sure and let you know for sure nearer the time.:)

We should all wear badges with our names, gateworld, and this thread title :D

[Bragi]

Badges?

Badges?

We don't need no stinking badges!

Unusual to see BruTak posting in the evening. I've only seen him online during the day.

How many of the Scots thread folks (ladies in particular :D) are going to the PM signing?

[sueKay]

Well...

ADD YOUR NAME TO THE LIST!

That would be because I'm in Glasgow at a wee convention, and am accessing the net vaia a coin operated computer thingy in the hotel foyer...:cool:

I'm going too - to the PM signing that is.

Oh dear. I think that came off slightly the wrong way. :S All you fine ladies can breathe a sigh of relief, I'm not actually on the prowl. :P Don't think I could make it through to Edinburgh anyway. It would've been cool if he was appearing in the Glasgow store. Have fun and don't get too caught up in those blue eyes. :D

Ah aye, I've seen a few of those consoles in the town. Who was appearing at the convention?

No guests at PartyCon, Missster Freeman, just a bunch of friends having a good ol' time. Mainly getting ver' ver' drunk if you must know. :)

Our fellow Scots may or may not have birthdays today...

...Although, i haven't seen Sha're (or Egeria for that matter) 'round these parts for a long time. Still, there's a chance she might lurk. *shrugs*
