It's shiatE being Scottish! We're the lowest of the low. The scum of the farking Earth! The most wretched, miserable, servile, pathetic trash that was ever shat into civilization. Some hate the English. I don't. They're just wankers. We, on the other hand, are COLONIZED by wankers. Can't even find a decent culture to be colonized BY. We're ruled by effete assholes. It's a shiatE state of affairs to be in, Tommy, and ALL the fresh air in the world won't make any farking difference!

I bet a 'top Catholic' cleric gave the same assessment in 209...and every year since.

I would like to announce my support and active involvement in the previous 20 years of preparation for this pending social collapse, which we have all been working very hard towards.

Isn't hedonism redundant, what with the "drug-and-alcohol-fuelled [sic] promiscuity"? And what is "outright nihilism"?

I tried all of the drug-and-alcohol fuelled promiscuity, hedonism, vandalism, and outright nihilism Scotland had to offer - it felt good and I recommend it to all young Scots. Bishop Buzz Killington can go an boil his farking heid.

"Everywhere I went it felt like they were watching me; fish-white flesh puckered by the Highland breeze; tight eyes peering out for fresh meat; screechy, booze-soaked voices hollering out for a taxi to take 'em halfway up the road to the next all-night watering hole. A shatter of glass; a round of applause; a sixteen-year-old mother of three vomiting in an open sewer, bairns looking on, chewing on potato cakes. I ain't never going back... not never."

Perhaps you need to look up the act of union if you're confused.

Indeed. Although sadly you must yield the floor in outright awe at the stupendous contribution made in this area by Ms. Thatcher. Why, I could just...what is that thing you do to women where you're actually liking them? You know, where you're nice to them, not wanting to rip off her fetid head, set fire to her tits, and drive a 6 foot pole up her old & crusted vejay-jay?
Oh yeah, I could just *hug* her.

On the NHL score not a clue, although you're probably out of luck there...
If you want somewhere nice to drink that's not a "chain" pub and has a goodly percentage of every brand of whisky ever made try the Ingram, just down from Queen St. Station. Walk out the station on the side facing George's Square, walk straight down the road you're on past the square, an it's on the left....

Here's a handy pic courtesy of Google...

Nice staff and pretty good selection of food, other drinks too....
I used to go to the Heathen moots there, haven't really had the cash this last year or so. Think they may have changed to a different venue since then, but it's still a good place, no Neds either...

 
escherblacksmith 2009-04-12 08:24:27 PM  
Far be it for me as a farker to read the article, but I did, and oddly enough, he had some good points. The government is trying regulate symptoms rather than deal with the underlying problem. The Cardinal even said that the attempt to regulate cheap alcohol was misguided.

Don't often say it, but go Cardinal!

Agrees with the Cardinal about the horrors of drug-and-alcohol-fueled promiscuity in Scotland.

Too bad about the NHL, if anyone can find the place I am sure I will, thanks for the info, I'll be sure to check it out

There are three banks able to issue currency in Scotland. Also, everyone uses the British £.

I always wondered why Sir John A MacDonald was never on the celtic clam. I mean, he ended up founding a country.

In some parts of Scotland the life expectancy is 28 years less than just across the border in England. It really is a troubled place.

Nice idea, but we'd have massive numbers of sunstroke victims in the first few days.

None if it clashes with the fitba.
