Excellent post, I LOVED it..As an ameture actor I love accents and read this post outloud..I knew what nappies and fags were about it...

Being a Gordon, I did understand this and have to say that even though the family came over to the US way back (James Gordon came across back in the early-mid 1800's) we still can attest to 90% of the post. Kind of shocking how much is genetic. Clatty, guilty as charged. Cool post!

Yeah, my brother loves to raise a few eyebrows by exclaming he is going outside and smoking a fag or two when he is at a bar. :roflmao:

Should clarify, up here if you are smoking something, you are either lighting up a cig. or shooting something.

Oh why not, I'd give haggis a try. I'm sure it isn't any more disgusting than what really goes into hot-dogs or bologna. I've seen both of those items being made and still eat them. So, haggis just might stir up the Scottish genes and I'd like it.

The problem is I don't see what goes into hot-dogs, not that I would eat the garden variety brands..It's Hebrew-National or nothing...

Ah memories! I went to school and uni in Aberdeen. I loved stovies, Aberdeen rowies and tablet, well I still do! didn't like the wind roaring up Union Street though! I get up to Edinburgh and Glasgow sometimes for the MMA fights but haven't been back to Aberdeen for 20 odd years now.

Yup, nothing quite like the sea "breeze" bringing in the har... Combined with the silver/grey granite - no wonder we're such a dour bunch!!!!!

I'm Scottish by ancestry (a sept of Clan Campbell), & I think they're awesome (though expensive - ).

I have one and plan on getting another soon.
