In Scotland we despair...

[Teso Dos Bichos]

Hi guys. My team is currently poor and my nation is a joke. Great! :(

[Teso Dos Bichos]

These boards look pretty good though.

[Dyvel]

Hark when the night is falling
Hear! hear the pipes are calling,
Loudly and proudly calling,
Down thro' the glen.
There where the hills are sleeping,
Now feel the blood a-leaping,
High as the spirits of the old Highland men.

Towering in gallant fame,
Scotland my mountain hame,
High may your proud standards gloriously wave,
Land of my high endeavour,
Land of the shining river,
Land of my heart for ever,
Scotland the brave.

[Teso Dos Bichos]

That brought a smile to my face. :D

Cheer up, Scotland soon will be a football superpower, if we finally get rid of Berti. ;)

[Teso Dos Bichos]

We can but hope.

"For so long as a hundred of us are left alive, we will yield in no least way to English dominion. We fight not for glory nor for wealth nor honours; but only and alone we fight for freedom, which no good man surrenders but with his life."

[Hors La Loi]

Scotland will get better over the next few years. Fletcher and McFadden will become top players.

Your team is poor, but your nation is great; I don't ever want to leave.

Their nationalism is great, along with the countryside. However you've obviously not stumbled on the horrid Glasgow yet Mel...... ;)

Oh no I have...great curry. ;)

Actually, I've enjoyed Stirling/Bridge of Allan, Edinburgh, St. Andrews, and haven't even really gone north for any significant time yet...and I love it.

Now, I grew up in South New Jersey (Burlington area) and used to live, post college, in Harlem, Dallas, Miami Beach, Rockville (just outside D.C.), and just outside NYC (Teaneck), so I'm just about done with uber-urban anything, uber-commercial anything, uber-SUV anything, and a general lack of green.

IOW, I just look around me, and the contrast to that previous experience is a living, palpable one.

Your right in that Glasgow has been my least favorite, but even Glasgow wasn't bad; like I said, great curry... :)

Curry!!! the Scots have curry!!... ;)

Try Brick Lane Mel, it's a real curry street/treat, or the Curry Mile in Rusholme, Manchester.......

Fair enough on the reasons you like Scotland, I'd see the weather as a big con, but then I don't know what South New Jersey is like year round. I guess I feel similar, but I'm going away from Westernisation and all the crap that goes with it - either Harare, Zimbabwe or Cape Town, South Africa for me. The way of life, the people, the food and the weather are just about perfect. No Mugabe jibes needed........ :D

The one thing I miss about the curries back home is Chicken Pakora. Mr Singhs in Glasgow makes the best curries! Would you recommend any particular place on Brick Lane? I think I may have chosen poorly most of the time.

I miss Glasgow so much! It is far superior to Edinburgh.

Complete and utter ****************. Just accept that the captital is the best. Everyone knows it. Weegie scum. :mad: :D

There are quite a few good young prospects kicking about. We can only hope that they step up and continue their development (and don't develop Judas syndrome). I don't think that we are as bad as the rankings state, but we really need to pull ourselves together.

If you were to stick Glasgow and Edinburgh together you would have London!

[Teso Dos Bichos]

And if we were to jettison the entire west coast, we would have paradise. :cool:

Pah! Rubbish. The West coast is the best apart from Paisley.
