Dixie , do you recall what you said about an angry Scotsman beating me up? This is him! So , repeat after me...."Glasglow is a lovely place".....[:D]

Glasglow ??? Maybe after a few beers it does..[:D] Glasgow and indeed Scotland is a wonderful place..when it isnt raining..I shall have to check out The Thread and read it before preparing any necessary punishment ie sound of bagpipes or a flock of noisy haggis running amok..[:-] However as The Thread is 625 pages long it might take a while....[:)]

I'm part Scottish* so you can't scare me with threats of ethnic music [:D][:'(] Will it be a flock of wild highland haggis? Scotland is a nice place when you're outside the towns and cities...

*Not like all these people who claim to be part Irish either, an actual part that counts [:'(]

Actually , I very much like bagpipes. I have quite a few CD's and for a while used to follow a Pipe-band out of Texas (that is, show up at their perfomances when they were in town). I've tried to try Haggis , but every one snatches it away from me. I'd still like to try it. And for a gill of single malt, I'll eat just about anything. My only reason for "dissing" (as the young people say ) Glasglow, is like Liverpool and Manchester , I had bad experinces in my youth visiting there. All three experinces began quite innoccenetly enough, with someone yelling "here, a Yank, kill the bloody b......"! I took that to be local phrase of endearment for tourists or lost exchange students. [:D]

Maybe it was just you they took a dislike to [:'(]

Well at a couple of hundred pages it could be mistaken for a translation of War and Peace so ill take time later tonite (luckily at work) and try and figure out what its all about....[&:]

It could be. Usually with my weird Bastardized New England accent people think I'm Canadian. So maybe it was my looks......[:D]

As a graduate of the University of Georgia from the late 70's/early 80's, I thought that I could hold my booze - that is until I went wine tasting in St Emilion with a couple of Glaswegians... I had to put off riding off on the bike the next day as I was unfit to pedal! 

Yes due to the inclement weather conditions here in Scotland,to compensate we have the ability to drink copious amounts of alcohol and generally create mayhem..sometimes on the battlefield but usually in the pub or football (soccer) game will do [:D]
