Keep an eye out for the wee beasties, I hear some hunger for human blood.

Most Glaswegians are not that wee

You mean they're [Och] 'igh instead?

Lucien21 · 08-26-2006, 02:19 PM

I say, Lacey, how about a cup of tea.

Delightful idea old chap.

RLacey · 08-26-2006, 02:34 PM

Not even a *guffaw*™?

What have I done to deserve such a lack of appreciation for my wit?

*Melanie68* · 08-26-2006, 06:28 PM

I'm so happy for you!

Jazhara7 · 08-27-2006, 09:18 PM

Conga Rats, Mira!

I'm glad you got to Scotland. It's a lovely place, despite the weather. I dream of visiting it too someday (I'd even try Haggis, though I'm not too keen on the deep fried Mars bars.)

Blegh personaly I'd pick the deepfried marsbar over Haggis

But there's other Scotish cuisine! Like....erm....Pot Noodles?

Huz · 08-28-2006, 11:57 AM

And Irn-Bru.

Which university are you going to, Mira? My cousin is at Stirling.

seebaruk · 08-29-2006, 09:37 AM

Wow, swapping Russia for Scotland eh. You'll be quaffing ale instead of vodka then. You better make the most of that Malaysian sunshine while you can

Lucien21 · 08-29-2006, 10:09 AM

We don't drink pansy drinks like ale (thats an English drink).

Drink Whisky - It puts hair on your chest.

Ok Bad mental image.

Sage · 08-29-2006, 10:14 AM

Says who?

Wait, Mira...hairy chest...
Okay, point taken.

No it doesn't!

I just bought a ticket to Scotland about 10 minutes ago. My girlfriend's doing her masters at the University of Edinburgh so I'll be tagging along and looking for work. I can't imagine anyone cares, but at least it fits the topic!

Intrepid Homoludens · 08-29-2006, 08:05 PM

Well, you highjacked saucy's thread, but good luck in your job hunt and best wishes for your life there with your girl.

rocketpop · 09-14-2006, 09:37 PM

I want to see Scottland someday...

Good luck this year!

Giligan · 09-15-2006, 04:23 AM

Well, you'll be around for the next America's Cup... *suddenly remembers* wait, belay that, that's not for 150 years. Hmm....

If nothing else, you'll be able to see the HMS Victory up close.

Lucien21 · 09-15-2006, 04:42 AM

ehhh HMV Victory is in Portsmouth. No where near Scotland.

Plus nobody in their right mind would go to Portsmouth.

True. Even if I went to school there.

Eh, what's a couple hours of driving compared to the experience of seeing Nelson's flagship first-hand?
