Maybe the thread should be „Blocked by Alan Nixon!“

Nixon and his volatile verbal volleys

at times he’s an angry man.
He is Scottish, is he not? Aren’t they all like that? *

Francis Begbie‘s best line ever……”it was obvious that c@nt was gonna f@ck some c@nt”

could be something in your observations as I remember Rab C being flighty at times

Can confirm we absolutely are.
I have worked on a couple of projects in Scotland, and I have found the “locals“ to be warm, welcoming, and absolutely f***ing bonkers, in equal measure.

My favourite, after I’d done a rearchitecture for one of our business units‘ locations based in Edinburgh, went along the lines of „ah, it’s all good, now let’s feck off to the pub, aye?“

More countries should be like Scotland. Because they’re ace.

He waited until after, so obviously Edinburgh - if it had been Glasgow you'd have done your rearchitecture from the pub!

There might be something in this! 😂

Seriously though, I’ve traversed the world in the service of the large German conglomerate, and yet have I to find a people as friendly and welcoming as the Scots.

The Japanese run them close, but rarely have I been looked after as well as I was in Schottland.

And I didn’t get filled-in by Begbie, either.

AllNigeriaSoccer and David Kent are auto added to the bottom, obviously.

There seem to me, from my working experience 3 kinds of Scot:
1 Up the East Coast they are morose religious clones who do not know how to have a good time, nor let anyone else have a good timeeither;
2 Up the West Coast they are more relaxed and welcoming, particularly when you get to the Western Isles;
3 The Glaswegians: either serious drinking alcoholics or druggies, with severe bi-polar issues. They will either hug you and tell you you are their best friend, or stick nut on you, or knife you if they decide they don't lkike you, and if you are english, they will not like you.

Some of my best friends are Scots.

As an East Coaster I'd say you've obviously never been here. We are for the most part drunken godless heathens. I would say that it takes a lot to impress us.

I would also say that I have an English accent and am probably often mistaken for English, but have never had a problem with Glaswegians at all. As long as you're up for a party or a riot they will be your best friends.
