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 1901 Views
True, and I agree with your theory. Camilla - 08/09/2010 11:31:46 PM 1248 Views
Good. I thought it made sense. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:33:25 PM 1402 Views

deep fried mars bars? *NM* Yunalesca - 08/09/2010 11:34:09 PM 560 Views
They're actually very tasty. *NM* Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:34:33 PM 785 Views
shame that they look like a heart attack tho. *NM* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:01:12 AM 733 Views
Eat them with your eyes closed? Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:01:46 AM 1553 Views
*twitches* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:04:21 AM 1359 Views
Kebabs are not repulsive! You're repulsive! Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:07:33 AM 1538 Views
*cries* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:11:17 AM 1338 Views
*offers a hankie* Sorry. Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:12:54 AM 1250 Views
Hm. Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:13:06 AM 1216 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 1379 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 1146 Views
I've heard shishkebab before, but just assumed it was shortened to kebab. Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:21:22 AM 1278 Views
It is a good question - what's the difference between pita and (döner) kebab. Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:20:38 AM 1383 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 1425 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 1368 Views

Gyro snoopcester - 09/09/2010 12:29:42 AM 1402 Views
Now, Gyros I know. Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:31:55 AM 1532 Views
I'm thinking "Aladdin's Gyrocery" isn't Greek... Awesome name though. *NM* Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:33:10 AM 744 Views
Yeah, I'm guessing their not Greek... Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:34:44 AM 1554 Views
Yes but in Scotland, your Gyro is something completely different. Michael - 09/09/2010 09:56:52 AM 1386 Views
*NM* Rebekah - 09/09/2010 04:15:51 PM 657 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 580 Views
it fell in the frier? *NM* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:05:45 AM 773 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 784 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 740 Views
Similar in Mexico... Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:38:46 PM 1563 Views
Huh. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:40:27 PM 1296 Views
Yuh huh. Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:44:08 PM 1394 Views
Well. My lecturers and tutors left that out. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:47:21 PM 1265 Views
Much shame on them. Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:49:57 PM 1282 Views
Re: Much shame on them. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:53:37 PM 1289 Views
True... most Chicanos prefer it a bit warmer than "freezing cold." Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:55:23 PM 1390 Views
Jugo? I'd say zumo... Legolas - 08/09/2010 11:51:10 PM 1584 Views
I'm probably strange, but that makes me think of tomatoes. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:58:51 PM 1361 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 1433 Views
zumo is Spanish-Spanish, I believe Camilla - 09/09/2010 09:02:14 AM 1409 Views
Yeah, but I was confused because Rebekah said jugo was Spanish-Spanish. *NM* Legolas - 09/09/2010 09:47:21 AM 794 Views
Maybe it's a regional thing? Camilla - 09/09/2010 09:50:11 AM 1121 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 787 Views
I have no idea what you're talking about. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:42:32 PM 1468 Views
What, Spain and Scotland (okay, and Brittany) are "almost every European country" now? *NM* Legolas - 08/09/2010 11:52:18 PM 782 Views
There was some unexpected country with bagpipes the other day. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:56:07 PM 1386 Views
Actually, this is a better list. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:57:47 PM 1341 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 763 Views
Well. They're certainly not popular anymore. Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:01:12 AM 1370 Views
I can't imagine why *NM* ßelals Girl - 09/09/2010 12:26:29 AM 773 Views
Awww. Bagpipes played well are lovely. Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:32:36 AM 1399 Views
it also helps if they arn't played right down your ear *NM* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:44:38 AM 712 Views
True fact. *NM* Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:45:59 AM 744 Views
my ears still ring every now and then *NM* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:51:10 AM 771 Views
What are you talking about, bagpipe music rocks! *NM* Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:33:43 AM 726 Views
They sound like a car alarm in a blender ßelals Girl - 09/09/2010 12:59:58 AM 1495 Views
I can't stop laughing at your comparison. nossy - 09/09/2010 02:56:30 AM 1467 Views
*NM* Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:44:41 PM 761 Views
Thanks! I'll be here all week *NM* ßelals Girl - 09/09/2010 12:27:13 AM 758 Views
I'll be sure to tip the waitress... and can I try the veal? *NM* Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:28:12 AM 779 Views
Veal makes me sad. *NM* Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:39:09 AM 747 Views
As long as it's produced ethically, I don't feel bad enjoying it. *NM* Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:40:16 AM 753 Views
I dunno. Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:43:01 AM 1375 Views
It's OK... Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:45:41 AM 1428 Views
Rocky mountain... oysters? Buh? Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:50:05 AM 1509 Views
If they're the same as regular mountain oysters... Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:51:37 AM 1278 Views
Nope! Phelix - 09/09/2010 01:09:02 AM 1271 Views
They are not oysters at all! Phelix - 09/09/2010 01:08:32 AM 1358 Views
Re: It's OK... Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:52:07 AM 1391 Views
Phelix - 09/09/2010 01:10:38 AM 1318 Views
How the hell do you... Michael - 09/09/2010 10:00:05 AM 1293 Views
But those are the best parts about Scotland. Avendesora - 09/09/2010 03:44:18 PM 1279 Views
What a strange people. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 08/09/2010 11:56:36 PM 711 Views
In every way. *NM* Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:58:00 PM 727 Views
Hey Rebekah? M & M Maddy - 09/09/2010 12:05:09 AM 1428 Views
Yes Maddy? Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:11:58 AM 1356 Views

Oh yeah, that is not what I would have guessed. nossy - 09/09/2010 02:58:06 AM 1392 Views
Rebekah - 09/09/2010 10:12:02 AM 1156 Views
The Scots. *NM* Ghavrel - 09/09/2010 03:19:04 AM 781 Views
Well played. *NM* Rebekah - 09/09/2010 04:15:27 PM 728 Views
You stole my answer. *NM* Palatine - 09/09/2010 06:16:30 PM 757 Views
I was surprised to see nobody had beaten me to it. *NM* Ghavrel - 09/09/2010 08:47:22 PM 700 Views
As was I. *NM* Palatine - 10/09/2010 07:16:47 PM 724 Views
This post betrays your origins as an interloper and not a native Scot. Michael - 09/09/2010 09:23:21 AM 1371 Views
World citizen. That's what I am. Rebekah - 09/09/2010 10:11:10 AM 1307 Views

As Rebekah said, the SNP needs to keep its supporters hungry. Tim - 09/09/2010 10:51:33 AM 1425 Views
True, but... Michael - 10/09/2010 02:25:31 PM 1478 Views
They can blame being a minority government, and the recession. Tim - 10/09/2010 02:29:54 PM 1707 Views
Haha "juice"!? ironclad - 09/09/2010 12:44:28 PM 1420 Views

Dudelsäcke rocken! *NM* ironclad - 10/09/2010 09:44:13 AM 640 Views

That is one of the two really great things to come out of Ireland. Michael - 10/09/2010 02:39:43 PM 1079 Views
I expected so much better from you. Michael - 10/09/2010 02:16:21 PM 1519 Views
I really can't decide which is the worse thing. Rebekah - 10/09/2010 02:18:45 PM 1216 Views
I am ashamed to admit... Michael - 10/09/2010 02:20:28 PM 1391 Views

Godspeed, sir. Rebekah - 10/09/2010 02:44:53 PM 1497 Views
Kebab deliciousness, to the power of ten? Maybe? Elaine - 10/09/2010 02:56:09 PM 1389 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 1324 Views
