Ocht, I'm only jesting.


Tired tonight H-c. I'm clearing up after the tradesmen who are fitting my dble glazing: stoor everywhere and the job's not done yet.

There are holes right through from the bedrooms to the outsdide allowing the cold air to rush in.

Does anyone on this thread know if the foam used to seal around the windows is the same as the stuff for cavity wall insulation? My asthma has been really bad and there's loads of that foam bulging into the room. I still haven't slept because my breathing was so bad through the night.

Polish dialect, I presume??...

A Scotsman walking through a field, sees a man drinking water from a pool with his hand.
The Scotsman man shouts ' Awa ye feel hoor thatâs full Oâ coos Sharn'
(Don't drink the water, it's full of cow s ** t.)
The man shouts back 'I'm English, Speak English, I don't understand you'.
The Scotsman man shouts back 'Use both hands, you'll get more in.'

Noo whether it's real or an auld bit fake,
Is debatable bit fur aony's sake,
Can we no jist git oan wae oor neeburs doon bye
Fur who ur the English, oanywie?

Thur wiz Normans, an' Saxon's, Roman's an' Gauls
Tain the locals doon ther an' squeezit their ****s
Thiv bin conquirt bi this yin an' that yin an' then
The Norsemen cam back tae hit them again.

Kin yiz no feel some pity fur folk bashed ower much?
Ur we nae long'r Scots wae the forgie'in touch?
Let's invite them tae Ceilidhs and gie them a dram
Fur thir Picts an' thirs Celts livin' yet in thir land.

Okay, okay, needs work and the last rhymes a bit iffy so dae it yirsels.

Very well put.

The Scots don't have a problem with the English. Unfortunately, the converse is not always true.
Let us all remember that we are ALL part of the UNITED KINGDOM.

Well I have never woken up to find a box of choccies on the bedside table.

Suppose it could be that the dogs have eaten them

Well, that may be true, Rooster UK, but I'm Scottish first and foremost. However, a body doesn't have to be the same as me for me to like them. I rather appreciate the diferences.

LOL! Heck, if everyone was the same as me, I think I'd have to emigrate planet fashion coz I find me difficult enough to live with and I got little choice.

BUT, I know Scots who do hate the English or think they do (doubt they know them all). I've also experienced English folk with little time for the Scots. Most Scots are reasonable and I have to reitterate that I received a tremendous amount of warm hospitality when I lived in England, even in London: welcomed into families who asked me to treat them as my own.

I don't like, black folk, I don't like French folk, I don't like yellow folk, I don't like gay folk. I don't like Germans, I don't like Greeks, I don't like thin folk, I don't like fat folk.

I LIKE NICE FOLK and don't care where they're from or what their colour or size: it's the hearts and characters that concern me. Never liked anyone because of their religion, their nationality or their shape/size: only because they were appealing as folk.


Read that carefully.

[Rooster-UK]

You can't say fairer than that.

Love your "sharn yarn", Rory. It was always the "sharn" was mucked oot o' the byre in Orkney where I was brought up. In later years I had a friend called Sharon but my dad insisted in calling her Shairon. She kept correcting him and I did advise him that it was really annoying her.

His reply, "Maggie, dear, I could never bring my self to look a woman in the face and call her cow sh**".

LOL Rory

Remind me never to ask you to make me a cup of tea!

Night night folks. I really got to get some sleep tonight.

Sweet dreams.

Prejudice is a funny thing. I am lucky that I was born into a generation that didn't really care about what colour, religion or whatever people were. And I truly hope I am bringing my kids up in the same way. My late Dad, who was Scottish through and through, had reasons to distrust most people - to my disgust as a teenager, but then he did fight in WW2 as well.

But you can understand why modern prejudices come about - people abusing the benefit system I think is the main issue. One of my best friends is Indian and she saved me from being expelled from school as we were caught smoking together and the school were too afraid of the repercussions if they expelled her. So they couldn't expel me either!
