ok folks i think its about time that we show our appreciation to all things Scottish.

didnt we invent television?
didnt we invent air filled tyres?
didnt we discover whisky?

fair enough we gave the world Sean Connery an Ewan Mcgregor but hey thats hardly our faults.

we are also,i might add,the only country that haggis's can roam freely around the UK.

god i hate coming in here with a drink in me.
means i have got to come in tomorrow an edit everything ive posted

ok...oh
did i forget to mention the telephone

we also sent all our convicts to Australia

but hey thats not a bad thing..!!!

don't forget tarmac!

The accents are sexy... and I'd tear Pierce Brosnan apart.
...Is that a fair contribution to this thread?

Scotland was a completely separated land mass from England in the days of Pangaea. They collided millions of years ago, and stuck together ever since, but their geological composition is totally different.

plus nearly all australian folks come from Scotland.
wether they like it or not.

well, i thought of bagpipes and kilts but closer study of their history indicates these didn't originate in scotland.

so, haggis it is!

We also invented heart disease, fried food, alcoholism and the chip-pan-fire!

Yay for us!

Oops. OK, we can have a threeway with Ewan for good, multinational measure.

Scotland is the business.

and a good baptist scottish clergyman invented a whisky...
(madmonkey factoid #84729)

but I can't recall the dude's name...

We also invented golf...
The Glasgow Celtic Football Club also invented European Triumph. The 1st Brits and the only Scots to do so. Not a lot of people know that. Oh aye and thanks to the Scots the British had the biggest empire the world has every seen. Hairy arsed Scotsman were always horded to the front in battle cos 'we're MENTAL.' World Champions in heart disease and liver failure. We love a swally...
