To be Scottish Is..................................

To take long walks through the our beautiful and majestic countryside, enjoying the breathtaking views with roaming Glens and snow-peaked mountains...All whilst getting bitten to * by ravenous, blood-sucking midge's.

To be proud of your heritage and history safe in the knowledge that there is 'nae one' quite like us...As we paint our faces blue and charge a group of English tourists.

To take pride in how 'we' as a nation are perceived throughout the world as being funny, friendly and good natured...Then threaten to 'batter ye' for looking at us too long.

To rejoice in our achievements, at how a small nation has produced some of the worlds most amazing and famous inventions...but nothing quite like the teabag-bin.

To embrace my fellow Countryman, wherever in the world we may meet, and treat him as if he were my own brother...Then get pissed on Tennents Super and Buckfast and pass out in shop doorway with our kilts up over our heads.

Making you the luckiest guy on the planet as you hail from this fair country, this fair place, of honest men and sonsie face ...Nah, its Baws really. Wish I stayed in somewhere else.

IT SOUNDS LIKE A LIVING HELL.

You'll be telling us they spoke to gurls next.

To push you over the edge, they DID talk to girls or gurls as you like to spell it. How's that?

In all seriousness though, nearly a year or so after I left university, one of the guys who I shared the flat with messaged me on MSN to tell me that one of the others killed himself while the others were away during the weekend and one called James found him with a bag over his head apparently. I actually can't remember the guy's name at the moment but he was nicknamed Smirnoff for a reason you should figure out for yourself easily.

"And all that there!"

I was thinking about "to be Manc is..." on the way into work this morning. I came up with:

the Hacienda, Factory Records and Tony Wilson

Oasis (debatable to some whether that's a plus point, I s'pose)

An accepting community where you can be LGBT or anything inbetween, and still be yourself

Rain

The Manchester International Festival, and culture all year round (but as Chris pointed out, you can make any town or city sound cultural!)

That's all I have so far....

Worcester is:

A Conference North failing football team
A Premier League Rugby Club
A city with a Cathedral
The home of Edward Elgar
The home of Cher Lloyd

Ooh, we've got a cathedral too! I live opposite it. And next to that is Chetham's, where Marx and Engels met.

Scotland is the only place on the planet where a man on fire would be kicked in the balls.

I stole that off a comedian, but I can't remember which one. Could be Frankie Boyle.

I don't think the patriotic Scots would agree with that one. I would say i would rather be British than Scottish.

IT WAS WHAT IT WAS.

Squat = Ladies peeing postition. Not a place of residence.

I'm informed by a reliable source that they also play a quaint sounding game there called " Football".

Can't see it catching on myself...
