But remember, there's nothing wrong with wearing a kilt.
I wore one to the school leaving do.:D
-
can't argue with tradition.... mind you to really set off the 'highland warrior' feel i reccomend having a claymore sword to go with it:p
-
I wanted one, but they're hard to find, you know. I couldn't find a sporran, either, so it didn't really work.
-
meh, fair enough...
-
You know what'll really screw a 10 year old up?
Having his dad decide that he wants to play the bagpipes concidering:
A) Not an ounce of Scot in him
&
B) He insist on wearing the kilt around other people
&
C) We live in the US mid-west with NO scots around!
Aye, Sonny Jim, thats a scud in tha bollocks!:ick

hard to find? there's plenty of stores selling that in France... and they're awfully expensive too :(
-
Yes, but I'm not in France.:)
And this was very short notice, about 3 days.

Who the hell do you think you are, George Bush? There's about 150 miles of difference.
Besides, Scots, Irish, they're all the same. You walk into a Dublin pub with a name like Hart or McAllister (Good, Scottish names) and you're treated like a brother. Walk in with a name like Harrington or Richards (faggot-ass English names) and you're as good as dead. And the same goes for Edinburgh pubs. Walk in called McCaffey and they'll practically blow you. Walk in called Phillips and your face will be pissing blood before you reach the bar.

That seems to be the case in any establishment in Dublin. When I went a few years ago, there was nowhere, NOWHERE, in the city to get anything to eat, except for McDonalds.
Also, there were broken bicycles tied to every fence, railing and wall. Very odd.

I was in an Irish theme pub today (I know, I know, you can stab me later. It was cheap. We were walking past, half-cut.....) and in the window there were like harps, 3 violins, about 20 bows, a film-reel and a bike. Why? It's a ****ing pub. There should be naked women dancing in the window, not some faggot-ass leprechaun.
-
I figure all this English/Irish/Scottish hatred stuff has something to do with a kilt and a case of mistaken identity.....;7 ;7

[color=66ff00]Actually, walk in with any name other than an english one and you're treated pretty well. It's unfortunate but Irish people generally treat english people in the same way the english would treat them if they were sitting in a pub in england. There's no lost love on either side. Dublin's a bit of a dive anyhow.
The english aren't really well recieved in any country. Holiday resorts in europe absolutely love the Irish but loath the english, I've never understood why there's so much anger vented at GB. :confused:

Walk into the wrong pub tho, and if your Republican or Monarchist you can kiss your arse goodbye and the same goes in the west of scotland. However, thats only the negative side of things...
I wore full Highland dress to my High School grad, including the Sk..sch..fukit, the wee knife. Was classy, looked super.

That'd make it a peeler bar, not a pub.

From what I understand, it's people being stupid and remembering things done by people who have little or no connection to the person in question.
"Your Great Uncle four times removed invaded the land of my half-brother's best friend's great-grandfather! Now I will be obnoxious, give you poor service, and ignore your calls for more beer!"

I just hate all foreigners.
Methinks most **** stems to WW2 when Britain was the only country who really had a problem with Germany invading Poland (aside from Poland of course). We always seem to be the only ones trying to make the world better without any pretense or personal gain.
After WW2, the only people Britain were pally with was like France and some piss-poor African countries. And France caved to the demands of the whiney-mofo farmers and lost all respect from the British public. Nothing's really much changed since.

Schean Dhu (Skee-ahn Doo), I think it's spelled.
Oh, and if anyone want's to experience the lovely schisms of Scotland (or indeed Glasgow in particular), I'd suggest walking into the Loudon Tavern* with a Celtic top on. Or that Irish pub next to the Barras with a (glorious) Rangers top on. Can't really remember any Irish pubs in Glasgow, cos I'd never go a mile near one.........
*or, for example, that place next to the underground station at Ibrox... I forget the name - the Railway Inn or something, is it?

:nervous: I'm moving down to Glasgow next year for Uni. Conveniently, I'm not really into football...
...i just hope nobody finds out i'm an aberdeen fan

I always considered it a Welsh hobby. :doubt:
