Welcome to Scotland?

[Chillum]

After a �100,000 re-branding excersise, the Sottish government/parliament/executive or whatever they're calling themselves this week, have come up with the mind- blowing slogan "Welcome to Scotland" Our future is in good hands, well done chaps.

[Skreecheeboy]

I can't see them spending much time to decide on changing it. Alex Salmond slated the previous welcome campaign that they had before the SNP were elected, quite rightly so I might add. I'm proud to be Scottish and it'd be nice to believe but I reckon it is a tad conceited to say that we are the best small country in the world to our guests as soon as they get off the plane. I know what I'd be thinking if I stepped off a plane in another country and read that.

RAGGY - I was thinking more about the UK as a place where you live, not the the aesthetics of the landscape. There are obviously some places that are pleasing to the eye.

Can you find where you have said anything nice about the United Kingdom as an entity, people who live here, its government, institutions etc.?

Ragged ass roman (whos really Welsh). Where does Brighton enter the equasion? (b) I am not old (c) Living in a 5 bed detached & certainly not council owned- how are you, my old Welsh sheep sh****er? Thought the Welsh reference might awake you from your slumbers. Not working again today? I have but one name, & if you can find a posting after 10pm I will be surprised, as you know i lead a full social life, unlike some.
PS I am not acquainted with flat dewlling, could you enlighten me? Is it an ancient form of Welsh combat?

Never been to Scotland, Glasgow is smiles better!

Only in Glasgow---------------
Bono, the lead singer of the band, U2, is famous
throughout the entertainment industry for being more than just a little self-righteous.
At a recent U2 concert in Glasgow, Scotland, he asked the audience for total quiet.

Then, in the silence, he started to slowly clap his hands, once every few seconds. Holding the audience in total silence, he said into the
microphone, "Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies."

A voice with a broad Glasgow accent from the front of the crowd pierced the quiet ...

"Well, foockin' stop doin' it then, ya evil basturd!"

Anyway my image of B Right On is that it's full of ageing activists, hippies and gays.

Sorry jedimistress,

That's an Urban Myth

The fine folk of Glasgow would never do such a thing.

[jedimistress]

I did not think it was true but I did think it was funny.

[Gromit]

Sorry jedimistress, you preceded the story with " Only in Glasgow" which made it sound like you didn't know it was bollox.

Mmm that was the title of the email I reposted it from. I only got the email today, and thought I'd share it.

historically, if Scottish people go anywhere, be it to another country, another town, another holiday camp another website, they tend to go together, is that a clan thing?

[jedimistress]

I always thought we were rather solitary travellers.

[Skreecheeboy]

Don't you like to go on holiday with your mates then Dot? What a ridiculous observation! lol

[THECORBYLOON]

fagidill for someone so proud of the UK, I think you should know Ireland is not part of the UK.
