I HOPE ALL YOU SCOTS WILL RAISE A GLASS

[Machrihanish]

Very good Machrihanish you should put that story and all the effort involved in it on your own website http://machrihanish.proboards28.com/ you just might get more than 5 topics and 9 posts.

Seems like we have had a sense of humour failure !!
No effort at all Neil, that story has been around the web for years. As for the Machrihanish site, most folks contact me directly rather than go onto the board. To be honest I find the banter on here much more entertaining anway.

whatever you fancy mate i tend to keep away from all this dressing up we in the uk are into..what next men wearing skirts...the only highland fling i came close to was with a lovely lass i met in scotland years back

Well I was in fact referring to some of your customs...being May Day etc. I'm not surprised you had to find a nice Scottish lassie, I hear there is a shortage in Lancashire As one of your countrymen wrote..."But we've a problem, aw tell thee, as isn't verra common; To' mony chaps an' nod enoo' lasses - it con cause commotion"

Keep smiling

Eigh Up.. Not here matey do you think a Englishman putting a thread about scots raising a glass to St George on a scottish website is not humour

I might post a message on your website to get you into double figures

I know you where refering to some of my customs be careful Ah'll gi thi some clog toe pie and like i said there all sorts of funny customs all over the UK involving dressing up.

Aye keep smilin and remember

Beauty's only skin deep - but it's a bugger when tha 'ast use a pick ter ger at it. ..

Ach, there ye go again Bubbly, the English team is crap anyway!!!!!!!!!!

[Annie]

I quite like that, I've seen it before. But on reading it again tonight, it made me realise that most of these technological and engineering breakthroughs are over 100 years old! Hopefully we can point to something more recent?!

FACT OF THE DAY

Scottish physiologist John Scott Haldane was born on this day in 1860. Haldane was an international authority on ether and respiration and was the inventor of the gas-mask during World War I. He also made decompression apparatus to help keep deep-sea divers safer. He died in March 1936.

Tit for tat tat for tit,time for me bed.

[Bochan Mor]

I've come across a few saints in my day (E.g. Saint David of Moy & Malcolm of the Glen), but they didn't include any of these buggars. I would say that most of these has-beens are barely known by the masses.

I wondered why Neil had been so quiet for so long, but now I know:

Away to your bed big fella wae my blessing. Your fingers will be near off you and your eyes dried out like prunes, after copying all that cach from the 'Doomsday Book' and 'Bayeux Tapestries', and with such accuracy!

[Bobbie En Tejas]

And to think I didn't believe in saints! I feel religion coming on!

[Bochan Mor]

And to think I didn't believe in saints! I feel religion coming on!

In your own words Boaby: 'Two doors down and out the back door.'

[Bobbie En Tejas]

That's the complaint department.. I go in and out the front door, thankyouverymuch.

So, which saint do I raise that glass to?

[Annie]

Jeesh, Neil, ye'll be havin' me oot ma tree every day o' the rest o' ma life wae that list. There's a few there I wusna even aware of masel' an' me bein' a guid Catholic lass too!

Jees shameful, isn't it!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????
