Calling all Scots!!!

[Anubis69]

Actually, you'd be surprised. In Scotland there's really only 2 seasons, June and Winter! (courtesy of Billy Connelly... )

[Egeria]

Nope, just wet.

Hey and dont forget the midges!!

Hey and dont forget the midges!!

Oooohhh yesss....how could I forget to mention them.

[Sha're]

Oooohhh yesss....how could I forget to mention them.

And ya know - I had never really experienced the wee bu**ers till last Summer when we were up your neck of the woods.........

i'm hopfully going the begining of august next year,lol,should'nt be too cold then

That's a hell of a delay ain't it? Mind you, from your neck of the woods to Scotland is about an eight hour drive, which would drive me mad unless I made a real car full road trip of it. Anyway, if/when you're up here, I live in the part of Scotland most influential in all Scottish history, so come here and buy me a drink and I'll show you around.

[Sha're]

I live in the part of Scotland most influential in all Scottish history.

You didn't initially strike me as a patriot, but the way you're speaking there, maybe i was wrong....

[sueKay]

popping in to say a belated birthday to the fellow scots on the forum that shared the 12th of November with me as the best Birthday in the world!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHA'RE AND X-MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

my computer died and got chucked out so hence the tardyness.

for the record - I'm from Balloch, Loch Lomond, and love it..so if anyone's in the area anytime, just drop me a PM

I'm not really, well, actually, maybe I am. I don't know! I love Scotland, but I'd never be a patriot in the sense that has come to be associated with America these days. I love Scotland, but I'm not gonna insist other people love Scotland, or even like it.

[Anubis69]

Yeah, i know what you mean. Americans (i mean no offence) do try to force it on others with their flags in your face and all, but IMHO we do live in one of the greatest countries on this earth. Perfect climate and an amazingly rich sense of history among others. I think it's perfect!! Shame about our sports team, though i'll always follow them to the ends of the earth...

i think there is 4 of use going but at the moment only one can drive,lol poor thing is gonna be behind the wheel alot.

Anyway, if/when you're up here, I live in the part of Scotland most influential in all Scottish history, so come here and buy me a drink and I'll show you around.

only if you buy me one first

[sueKay]

I'm proud to say I'm a patriot for Scotland, but that's not to say that I don't recognise this country's problems (infact I'm acutely aware of a LOT of them). And I don't demand that people love Scotland...yes I do like to 'bum up' my area (because it's pretty ) but if people don't like Scotland, I won't ask why...there's plenty of countries I'm none too fond of. So I won't get up on my high horse and say 'you must like Scotland'

and I'm babbling...sorry

[BruTak]

People (IE those from down South) seem to forget that if it wasn't for a Scotsman, there'd be no television...
