OMG.
MAy I just say for the record, a belated happy Burns Night... I went to a GREAT Burns Night celebration recently... due to board of health regs prohibiting the sale of 'variety meats' at restaurants in my area, they made the haggis for display only (the chef took the thing home with him, lucky bastard), and cooked 'lazy haggis' for the rest of us. Fuckers.

It's amazing how the boards can make the world seem so small and not so different after all.
Then a post like this comes along and I remember that there's a lot of members spread around the place.
Am I the only one who reads everyones posts with a native accent? When I read a post in my head its allways with an american accent.

Lol, I'm reading The Acid House by Irving Welsh atm, and it really taught me to read scottish, altough it can be a bitch, re-reading phrases where I just don't seem to know any words. And "aboot" always reminds me of South Park The Movie:p
But it is a cool dialect, and I'm pro language diversity..
