World citizen. That's what I am. Rebekah Send a noteboard - 09/09/2010 10:11:10 AM
Over the years you will discover far weirder things than that. *slugs from a bottle of juice - on this occasion Pepsi Max*

I look forward to it. :P

At the moment the weirdest thing about Scotland is that the Scottish National Party government have just announced that a referendum on full independence is no longer on the agenda. That strikes me as the weirdest thing I've heard in a long time.

Well. They know that if there was a referendum now it would fail because of the economy (and the majority of people not wanting independence yet). And then, if it failed they would lose the next election.

So. It's all a bid to stay in power come May next year.

Do you know the weirdest thing about Scotland? Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:26:18 PM 1500 Views
True, and I agree with your theory. Camilla - 08/09/2010 11:31:46 PM 978 Views
Good. I thought it made sense. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:33:25 PM 1073 Views

deep fried mars bars? *NM* Yunalesca - 08/09/2010 11:34:09 PM 447 Views
They're actually very tasty. *NM* Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:34:33 PM 636 Views
shame that they look like a heart attack tho. *NM* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:01:12 AM 595 Views
Eat them with your eyes closed? Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:01:46 AM 1228 Views
*twitches* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:04:21 AM 1003 Views
Kebabs are not repulsive! You're repulsive! Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:07:33 AM 1173 Views
*cries* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:11:17 AM 1169 Views
*offers a hankie* Sorry. Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:12:54 AM 994 Views
Hm. Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:13:06 AM 1035 Views
I mostly mean meat on a stick, with the occasional veggie, roasted over fire or grilled. Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:14:43 AM 1019 Views
Ah. In Britain, "kebab" means Doner Kebab. I think they call the other one Shish Kebab. Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:17:56 AM 971 Views
I've heard shishkebab before, but just assumed it was shortened to kebab. Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:21:22 AM 1030 Views
It is a good question - what's the difference between pita and (döner) kebab. Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:20:38 AM 1030 Views
Well, I've never seen a doner kebab, so I can't really speak to that... Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:24:57 AM 1110 Views
Re: Well, I've never seen a doner kebab, so I can't really speak to that... Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:32:28 AM 1112 Views

Gyro snoopcester - 09/09/2010 12:29:42 AM 975 Views
Now, Gyros I know. Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:31:55 AM 1093 Views
I'm thinking "Aladdin's Gyrocery" isn't Greek... Awesome name though. *NM* Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:33:10 AM 599 Views
Yeah, I'm guessing their not Greek... Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:34:44 AM 1091 Views
Yes but in Scotland, your Gyro is something completely different. Michael - 09/09/2010 09:56:52 AM 977 Views
*NM* Rebekah - 09/09/2010 04:15:51 PM 541 Views
Uhg! I went to Scotland and ate nothing deep fried! Ben! Where is my Mars bar??? *NM* M & M Maddy - 09/09/2010 12:03:22 AM 487 Views
it fell in the frier? *NM* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:05:45 AM 631 Views
Maybe he figured you didn't want to eat American food staples while you were there. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 09/09/2010 12:26:30 AM 640 Views
But the Fried Mars Bar is for some reason, a Scotish national dish! We did have great food though mm *NM* M & M Maddy - 09/09/2010 04:32:10 AM 630 Views
Similar in Mexico... Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:38:46 PM 1090 Views
Huh. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:40:27 PM 1121 Views
Yuh huh. Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:44:08 PM 1048 Views
Well. My lecturers and tutors left that out. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:47:21 PM 1014 Views
Much shame on them. Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:49:57 PM 1050 Views
Re: Much shame on them. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:53:37 PM 921 Views
True... most Chicanos prefer it a bit warmer than "freezing cold." Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:55:23 PM 1044 Views
Jugo? I'd say zumo... Legolas - 08/09/2010 11:51:10 PM 1170 Views
I'm probably strange, but that makes me think of tomatoes. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:58:51 PM 910 Views
Might be used for tomatoes too, sure. But zumo de naranja, zumo de manzana, etc., all works. Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:01:47 AM 1100 Views
zumo is Spanish-Spanish, I believe Camilla - 09/09/2010 09:02:14 AM 1073 Views
Yeah, but I was confused because Rebekah said jugo was Spanish-Spanish. *NM* Legolas - 09/09/2010 09:47:21 AM 673 Views
Maybe it's a regional thing? Camilla - 09/09/2010 09:50:11 AM 978 Views
I don't know if that's weirder than manskirts, musical vacuum cleaners and eating sheep guts... *NM* ßelals Girl - 08/09/2010 11:40:03 PM 667 Views
I have no idea what you're talking about. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:42:32 PM 1088 Views
What, Spain and Scotland (okay, and Brittany) are "almost every European country" now? *NM* Legolas - 08/09/2010 11:52:18 PM 673 Views
There was some unexpected country with bagpipes the other day. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:56:07 PM 1166 Views
Actually, this is a better list. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:57:47 PM 1069 Views
Okay. We'll just have to conclude they're really, really obscure/rare in most of those countries. *NM* Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:00:07 AM 625 Views
Well. They're certainly not popular anymore. Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:01:12 AM 972 Views
I can't imagine why *NM* ßelals Girl - 09/09/2010 12:26:29 AM 642 Views
Awww. Bagpipes played well are lovely. Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:32:36 AM 1125 Views
it also helps if they arn't played right down your ear *NM* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:44:38 AM 524 Views
True fact. *NM* Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:45:59 AM 612 Views
my ears still ring every now and then *NM* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:51:10 AM 638 Views
What are you talking about, bagpipe music rocks! *NM* Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:33:43 AM 603 Views
They sound like a car alarm in a blender ßelals Girl - 09/09/2010 12:59:58 AM 1093 Views
I can't stop laughing at your comparison. nossy - 09/09/2010 02:56:30 AM 1123 Views
*NM* Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:44:41 PM 632 Views
Thanks! I'll be here all week *NM* ßelals Girl - 09/09/2010 12:27:13 AM 628 Views
I'll be sure to tip the waitress... and can I try the veal? *NM* Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:28:12 AM 668 Views
Veal makes me sad. *NM* Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:39:09 AM 622 Views
As long as it's produced ethically, I don't feel bad enjoying it. *NM* Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:40:16 AM 619 Views
I dunno. Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:43:01 AM 985 Views
It's OK... Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:45:41 AM 992 Views
Rocky mountain... oysters? Buh? Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:50:05 AM 1180 Views
If they're the same as regular mountain oysters... Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:51:37 AM 956 Views
Nope! Phelix - 09/09/2010 01:09:02 AM 1004 Views
They are not oysters at all! Phelix - 09/09/2010 01:08:32 AM 1011 Views
Re: It's OK... Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:52:07 AM 982 Views
Phelix - 09/09/2010 01:10:38 AM 1002 Views
How the hell do you... Michael - 09/09/2010 10:00:05 AM 973 Views
But those are the best parts about Scotland. Avendesora - 09/09/2010 03:44:18 PM 1018 Views
What a strange people. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 08/09/2010 11:56:36 PM 580 Views
In every way. *NM* Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:58:00 PM 615 Views
Hey Rebekah? M & M Maddy - 09/09/2010 12:05:09 AM 1122 Views
Yes Maddy? Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:11:58 AM 1036 Views

Oh yeah, that is not what I would have guessed. nossy - 09/09/2010 02:58:06 AM 1122 Views
Rebekah - 09/09/2010 10:12:02 AM 925 Views
The Scots. *NM* Ghavrel - 09/09/2010 03:19:04 AM 615 Views
Well played. *NM* Rebekah - 09/09/2010 04:15:27 PM 590 Views
You stole my answer. *NM* Palatine - 09/09/2010 06:16:30 PM 649 Views
I was surprised to see nobody had beaten me to it. *NM* Ghavrel - 09/09/2010 08:47:22 PM 583 Views
As was I. *NM* Palatine - 10/09/2010 07:16:47 PM 596 Views
This post betrays your origins as an interloper and not a native Scot. Michael - 09/09/2010 09:23:21 AM 1036 Views
World citizen. That's what I am. Rebekah - 09/09/2010 10:11:10 AM 995 Views

As Rebekah said, the SNP needs to keep its supporters hungry. Tim - 09/09/2010 10:51:33 AM 1001 Views
True, but... Michael - 10/09/2010 02:25:31 PM 1033 Views
They can blame being a minority government, and the recession. Tim - 10/09/2010 02:29:54 PM 1301 Views

Dudelsäcke rocken! *NM* ironclad - 10/09/2010 09:44:13 AM 529 Views

I expected so much better from you. Michael - 10/09/2010 02:16:21 PM 1200 Views
I really can't decide which is the worse thing. Rebekah - 10/09/2010 02:18:45 PM 930 Views
I am ashamed to admit... Michael - 10/09/2010 02:20:28 PM 1011 Views

Godspeed, sir. Rebekah - 10/09/2010 02:44:53 PM 1067 Views
Kebab deliciousness, to the power of ten? Maybe? Elaine - 10/09/2010 02:56:09 PM 1220 Views
Hopefully. I am at work right through to 11pm, should get to the chippie around 7pm.... Michael - 10/09/2010 03:01:02 PM 1002 Views
