So who on here is actually Scottish.....? on 15:07 - Jun 18 by hoppy
I think the thing is nobody asks you that, as it is just kinda assumed...
I think god might be Scottish: as i posted that, i scratched a spot on my ear and can now smell a horrible infected pussy smell. Very embarrassing. I take it back Scottish people.

Has anyone ever looked at their own postings for last day or so? Oh my... so sorry. Was Ullaa
I've had a Scottish address for eight years now, I even live here most of the time (lock downs have helped that) but I think I sound more English now than when I moved up here. I had a letter published in the local paper shortly before Scotland qualified for the Euros. Their sports correspondent had headed his column (which is mainly about his acquaintances at the golf club) 'Why I Won't Be Watching Scotland At Football' complaining about not having familiar names in the team and Scotland having to play 'diddy' nations like the Czech Republic and Slovakia whilst England were given the 'big boys' in UEFA draws...
Anyway, I pointed out that when the Czechs and Slovaks were one nation they actually won the Euros (1976) as well as getting favourable points in about Ryan Fraser (a more than decent player along with Andy Robertson and Scott McTominay) and George Burley (comparable to Steve Clarke as a thoughtful and successful Scotland manager...OK, the Royal Blue tinted glasses were doing too much of a job at this point).
Anyway, come the penalties against Serbia I thought I was going to look a right berk as Scotland went out but that David Marshall save was not only a quality moment for Scottish supporters but quite a relief for me.
No idea who I shall be cheering for come eight o'clock, the England team are clearly a talented lot but they have their share of big time charlies. Scotland have a great team spirit but might just get burdened down with having the weight of a nation on their shoulders. I may just go Cobboldesque playing fields of Eton and employ the Corinithian spirit of wishing both teams well and trying to kid myself that it is the playing well that counts, not the winning.

I had to read that several times before it clicked what the infected thing you were smelling was, it was mind boggling to start with.
No idea when I began here, was a very long time ago. Previously known as Spirit_of_81. Love cheese, hate the colour of it, this is why it requires some blue in it.
