I have no idea what you are talking about but aye, homesick as I am right now ( its this time of year you understand..), I know I made the right decision.
Funny, I was at Barns and Nobles ( thats a big bookstore chain Rick, excuse me if you knew) the other day, theres a woman serving and as often happens she had to comment on my accent..
'oh you must get this all the time but I just love your accent'...
..I reply that 'Well it was real enjoyable ( i modify my speech patterns here so people grasp what im saying without the need for me to repeat myself ) the first couple of weeks but at this time of year, I'd prefer to be hearing a few more accents like my own rather than have people comment on the uniqueness of mine'.
Bah.. I'm downloading everything I can from Scotland or the BBC atm just to see some familiar scenery and hear some accents other than southern.
So... wtf are you on aboot?
oh and btw, someone pointed me to a link of the Scottish TV game review proggie, Video Gaiden... fucking class like, it was like the antidote to 2 years of suffering the utter fucking bollocks that is G4 TV.
I work so hard to adapt to the yank culture on a local level, doubt that as much as most here that consider me a cantankerous cynical old prick will, I really do.
I work hard enough at this that sometimes I forget the down to earth, call it as you see it with a non diminshing assumption alternative I left behind so Video Gaiden really perked me up
Anyway, back to my Connolly dvd's and whisky
P.S Please note the poster has been imbibing of hard liquor.
Kerry Katona, ex popstar and airship smuggler is now doing BAD BAD BAD TV ads for Iceland. She has an accent that could cut glass.
Ror - get yerself a bunch of Still Game DVDs - I think they are on series 4 now. As for Video Gaiden, it is fantastic, and nice to see a TV programme that talks to you bout games in way you understand, withouth trying to be "street" or corny with photogenic presenters. Naw, you get 2 scottish folk telling you its fucking gureat or a bag o shite.
Rick, Kerry sucks - she plays this whole housewive act (she's known for being down to earth), and then its this whole "I've got fake tits, I'm a celeb" shit; she pisses me off. She used to be REALLY hot when she had natural tits (naturally they were huge) with the Atomic Kittens.
'pahcils'? What the fuck are they?! 'King prahn reng'. Looks like I've been in the States too long, I've no clue who this slapper is, but boy, is she ugry.

Ror, to ease the homesickness just listen to some good old homegrown Scottish ballads http://www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/tv/chewinthefat/jack_and_victor/singalong.shtml
It's been a couple of years now since I was last back in Scotland, damn I miss that show (and battered Haggis of course....and Irn Bru...)

KING PRAWN RING.
Pathetic.
This is partly why I don't watch TV any more.
shes married to Max Clifford's son I think. What a fucking family!
Why the fuck is she still famous?!

I had the first 3 seasons of still game, a m8 in newcastle is sending over the 4th for me and yeah, its fantastic

Quite fond of the old chang too allegedly, and used to be married to one of Westloife.
You would though, several times.
Like a dead heat in a zeppelin race.
