The_Munchmaster Posted December 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 I'm liking this Scotland thread, it's very, um, Scottish. I do think it would be more authentic if the Scotsmen posting here would actually write in Scottish rather than English. Irvine Welsh did such a fine job transliterating the language into print form that it seems a sad waste not to use it. Indeed I think it should be compulsory for Scotsmen to use said rendering of their speech in all threads. But then nobody would understand!!

The_Munchmaster Posted December 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 I'm beginning to think Scotland is a fictional country, only existing in movies. HH No, no, no. It's in films so much because it's such a fantastic country. Best small country in the world btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a meeting at Woodstock, when some guy showed up, young guy, nice enough (means he bought a round), but no one understood a word he was saying...turns out, he was from Scotland. Men in skirts aside, any country that makes whiskey that good/well is ok with me...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acockasian Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 This Scotland thread is great and I now know that it is a place I have to visit, cool accent and plenty of comedians to make me laugh if the whiskey doesn't work. What about sex in Scotland? Are there any unique things a man must know before mounting a Gaelic speaking goddess? We saw the cool hats and topless girls in the Africa thread. Any similar rituals in Scotland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central Scrutinizer Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 (edited) ACA, Before you decide to actually go to Scotland there are a few things you should know. The cattle are all blind. It is very hard to find a parking space if you are not Scottish. Scotsmen lie a lot. The pussy is all fat and hairy. This man is the most famous Scotsman ever in their history, and the highest paid. Above is the most recent winner of the Miss Scotland beauty pageant. Inexplicably there are very long lines to the bathrooms. It is one reason the men wear kilts sans underwear. The horses there are carnivorous! The natives are not friendly. There is something very wrong with their dogs. They absolutely despise the poor Puffin. As well as the English. Understandably so. The fishing though is grand and some trophy catches have been made over the decades. They have yet though to figure out how to build a proper doorway. This mad man is their funniest comedian. We'll just have to take their word on how funny he is as no one besides a Scot can understand what the fuck he is going on about. This slop is their national breakfast. God save them. This Scotsman above is their best hung porno star. Now you can see why they are known to be such liars. The men though do so love to get flowers. Remember this and your kilt and I am sure you will have a wonderful time there. Give us a trip report on your return Acockasian. I am sure it will be very interesting to the other gay men wanting to expand their sexual horizons beyond Pattaya and Bangkok.

The_Munchmaster Posted December 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 I'm liking this Scotland thread, it's very, um, Scottish. Thanks RM, it's meant to be. Hijacking of this thread will not be permitted. I do think it would be more authentic if the Scotsmen posting here would actually write in Scottish rather than English. Irvine Welsh did such a fine job transliterating the language into print form that it seems a sad waste not to use it... What is Scottish? Irvine Welsh was born in Edinburgh and writes in a raw Edinburgh dialect. If he had been born in Glasgow or Aberdeen then the written "Scottish" would have been very different.

The_Munchmaster Posted December 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 How could we have overlooked Scotland's poet laureate! William Topaz McGonagall (March 1825 – September 1902) was a Scottish weaver and amateur poet and actor. He won notoriety as an extremely bad poet who exhibited no recognition of or concern for his peers' opinions of his work. He wrote some 200 poems, including the infamous "Tay Bridge Disaster", which are widely regarded as some of the worst in British history. Groups throughout Scotland engaged him to make recitations from his works; contemporary descriptions of these performances indicate that many of these listeners were appreciating McGonagall's skill as a comic music hall character, and as such his readings may be considered a form of performance art. Collections of his verse continue in popularity, with several volumes available today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
