You're

Typical jock, ruining our language!

Oh dear...I always get that one..hehe.

Someone once said "No one speaks English worse than the English..."

HAHA, I am just saying that saying "I don't know of any murderers in my street" does not mean there are none.....they come out of the woodwork you know. When your sleeping.....

I think what he means is that if somebody english takes a swipe at a Scot it is always packaged neatly up and called banter, but if a Scot does the same then often it is called paranoid racist abuse.

[angusglover]

Now you're putting words into my mouth. Why are you so paranoid? Chill.

See, you are already assuming that the issue is with the Scots and saying that the English are not to blame. Just because you do not see it, does not mean it doesn't exist.

Your quote also implies that all Scots hate the English, which is not so, like I have already explained.

Then perhaps they hate you for some reason other than being Scottish!

Seriously, I said I know none. Plenty of banter, but not hatred. If there is some, there is very little of it, certainly compared with north of the border.

Then you are wrong. Like I said, there is at least one on this board alone. I know lots of them down here. You cannot possibly say tere are none just because you do not know them!!!!!

That's not really fair - everyone hates the french!

Apart from that bird who was in the Clio adverts, Vanessa Paradis, the bird who presents the news and the french tart I doinked in madrid.

Fair point fd.

And yes, that Clio bird was awesome. Estelle Skornick if you want to know. And don't forget Audrey Tautou.

[angusglover]

You have missed the point.

You said there is a lot of hatred from both sides, we say you are wrong - there is no hatred from the English side. It is just the Scots. I don't know any Jock-haters at all down here at all.

I believe I have already said that I do not hate the English. I am trying to explain why the tension exists in an effort to show peole that not all Scottish hate the English, and I hope vice versa.

I am not trying to define what makes being Scottish, juist trying to say why what exists does so.

You have missed the point.

I will give you an example..

I was sitting in a coffee shop in HK having my brekkie. A French couple come in and plonk their baby down on the table beside my coffee while I was eating and proceeded to change it's nappy. They put the sh*tty nappy right beside my coffee and didn't even have the decency to close it up first.....

They then tried to give it to the waitress to put in the bin, she told them to fook off...

I was stunned....I just thought "How bl**dy rude.."

agreed...that would be an Act of War

[angusglover]

I travel a lot to France and have found them to be the complete opposite of what you describe, but I also know English people who hold the same views as you, so cannot say if it a nationality or personal thing.

I admit...I have no time for the French. Nothing based on history, just from personal experiences. I find them ignorant, arrogant and nasty people...I am sure there are nice ones so this is a generalisation but the ones I have met or dealt with do nothing to convince me otherwise.

[freakydancer]

On a similar theme most English people I have met seem to have an unexplained dislike for the French which probably boils down to them having been taught about Crecy/Agincourt/Hastings/Waterloo etc.

You on the other hand seem quite proud of your 'hatred' and perhaps see it as a defining part of being Scottish

Then again, you are a troll, and obviously fishing.
