    There is no such entity as the "scottish police". Scotland, as a country, should have a capital letter and "thats" should be "that is". But enough of me showing up your lack of education...


    I issue a challenge to you to find one isolated racial attack on an English person in the last 2 weeks and if you cannot then we will just leave this as a pathetic attempt by HMV to market their name and a predictable troll attempt by troll. That is all it really is.

        Scotland isn't a technically a country.

        The Scottish Parliament: Is Scotland a country?

        Education cannot compensate for a lack of intelligence, as you so frequently and ably demonstrate.

        Quite. We had best let you get back to embarrasing yourself.
        While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

          Errr. Churchy read Minestrones post, then yours and then realise what you've done and what he was saying and remodify your sig.
          What happens in General, stays in General.
          You know what they say about assumptions!

            MF, I fully understand that Minestrone is being pedantic about capitalisation - well I assume that's what he's doing as sometimes it's a chore decoding his drunken, bigoted rants.

            When you own this forum, then you can tell me what I can and can't put in my sig. In the meantime, f**k off, seriously.

                If you had any genuine concern in that direction you'd have sent me a PM. However, that wouldn't do anything for your ego, would it?

                A suggestion MF, if you don't like what I post, ignore it.

A logical person takes a lack of evidence of something's existence to, on balance, sway the argument. However, there are those who insist that the inability to prove something doesn't exist means it does. Hence the continued success of the church and Father Christmas.
                  Could we leave Father Christmas out of this please.

                    "Anyone But England"
                    Pretty much every Scots person I've met has said the same thing.

                      While working on a project in Glasgow a fellow contractor, let's call him Dougie for "Douglas" was his name, decided to research his family tree. He already knew that he was half English but was very, very proud of his Scots heritage and took great pleasure in regaling us with tales of Scots History and various victories over the Sasanachs through time at every opportunity. To no avail did the comment "But Dougie, you're half English" have any effect in curbing his enthusiasms.

                      Until one day... I arrived in the office to find Dougie in a very despondent mood. "Dougie, what's wrong? You look so glum!"

                      One of the other team members turned round and said "He's just found out that he's half English, a quarter Welsh, an eighth French, and an eighth Scots."
