Theyre a very hostile bunch over thereActually it was a bunch of halfwitted anarchists that had travelled across Europe to be in Edinburgh,

and not the people of Scotland!

Why then do we hurt, kill, maim and destroy eachother ? How poetic!

Scottish women are horrible !

They will eat you alive and then spit you out.The word hypocrite springs to mind!

Ok but one question 1st then I will stop.

How do you account for that whole haggis thing going on over there ?

Now Im done and you shall never hear a cross word from my mouth on Scottish women again. Promise !

Your jumping to conclusions Abbey perhaps because all you have to go on is what Ive left here and you dont know me.

In all sincerity I have not an ounce of hatred in me its not in my nature to hate. I have much higher aspirations than that you'll have to trust me on that.

Perhaps Ive gone overboard with my joking and with all my heart I apologize if Ive offended anyone it wasnt my intention to do so.

Please forgive me.

My intentions are to do good not cause harm.

i dont know what you mean by the whole haggis thing, its a food that many people enjoy, if that makes us horrible, em ok, bizzarre :rolleyes:

i personally found many of your comments on scotland funny, we are renouned throughout the world for our good sence of humour, i just felt some of your comments lately were a bit aggressive & im not the only member to notice

i see you apologise & thats fine, lets move on, i dont bear grudges

to annoy one scotswoman takes a brave man to annoy two is an act of grave stupidity and if you would accept some advice at this point you should make a run for it :yh_rotfl :yh_rotfl

Hi There,

Im Scottish and even I have an issue with the whole haggis thingy. Depends what floats ure boat I suppose. But as Buttercup pointed out were famed for our sense of humour !! So we can see the funny side actually.

Ah on the morbid curiosity question, Whats that morris dancing all about?? Now that does require a sense of humour surely??

You have issues with haggis ? LOL ! In my humble opinion you should have issues with haggis ! :wah:

Enter at your own risk.http://www.smart.net/~tak/haggis.html

On my behalf I will now state I understand its a traditional Scottish recipe that many enjoy.

Im all for traditions and I fully support anyone that wishes to carry on said traditions.

I will also now state I find the Scottish people to be absolutely lovely and full of fun and spirit.

I would hope one day to see Scotland it looks breathtaking.

LOL that got my funnybone !

Actually I love to cook and thought about culinary school at one time. Id have to steer clear of French & Scotty cuisine though. As you can see Im an equal opportunity culinary philistine.

This is one whole day of your life.

Have the best day of your lives. :-6
