ICTChris Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 If it wasn't for my family I could probably quite happily move to another country, or down to England.I do like Scotland but I don't wake up every day and think "yaaaaas I'm in Scotland".

Hedgecutter Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Hadrian's Wall. None of it's in Scotland though. The Antonine Wall on the other hand (right beside the Falkirk Wheel)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lambies Doos Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 None of it's in Scotland though. The Antonine Wall on the other hand (right beside the Falkirk Wheel)... And separating Milngavie from Bearsden. The mulguy hard c***s sorted these fukin Romans out. Bearsden shitebags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We both delivered milk when we were younger and each played in goals during our amateur football days. Apart from the wife beating, male modelling, money and career success, it's uncanny how much my life parallels his. 1 hour ago, welshbairn said: The arseholes often move to America.

EdgarusQPFC Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Scotland is a gorgeous place to explore, loved walking around Glen Coe, but the people are largely twats and the culture is really cringey at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONKMAN Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Mothers Pride is a fucking awful loaf. Absolute bollocks. The best pieces know to man are from the two outsiders of a plain loaf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate of mine will literally pinch the outsiders from any mothers pride loafs we have if he is over and is making himself a sandwhich/toast or whatever, which pisses my aunt off because she wants to do the exact same when she is here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, nothing like standing on the shoulders of giants, once you get past sporting rivalry, nationality is soooooooo last century with a whiff of colonialism.

Bully Wee Villa Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I'm still immensely proud that a Scottish team won last season's Scottish Challenge Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernJambo Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 It's the hope that kills you, being Scottish. Take the game v England, most would have taken a 2-2 before the game. After it though, that 2-2 felt like a defeat, a punch in the puss and a kick in the pie. "Typical Scotland" shrugs it off.So aye... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Ferguson's Hat Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 The patter is pretty good. I've spent most of the last four years living abroad, but on the two occasions I've returned to visit I've found myself chuckling away at other people's conversations within seconds of setting foot on Scottish soil.I suppose you have to go away and come back to really appreciate it.

throbber Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I think it's a great country tbf, not many other countries with 5 million people have two cities that are as good as Glasgow and Edinburgh in them for example.Think people are overall negative though and fail to take pride in themselves and their achievements and are very quick to put themselves and each other down though.

throbber Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 It's not really our achievements though is it? Well both on a personal level and a national level we like to put ourselves down.Lots of people immediately say negative things about Scotland like how shit the weather is before mentioning all the good things about the country. Not everyone obviously but there is too much negativity that gets passed around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL-FFC Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Got to admit we do tend to put ourselves down though we do also managed to cling defeat from whats normally victory, since i do Hillwalking i appreciate things a lot more the scenery our History what we have gave to the world in terms of inventions wise. Always had the pride there and love the country but as any nation we always have some that f**k it right up. One thing that does annoy the shite out me is walking ben nevis to find some ned has put a Celtic, Tricolour flag at the top of it and with a final touch of class leave a buckfast bottle next to it not to mention the smashed buckfast bottles that tends to p*ss me off trouble is i find the ones with next to no or little pride in the country are ones that support the OF one side wants to be associated with all things English and the Other side all things Irish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
