Cold Ale - The Blokes' Thread!

Leprechaun? Oh dear - that wasn't really the look I was trying for.

Nightshade is quite correct - I'm a Welshman. Fortunately, a fairly cosmopolitan family background lets me make a claim on some Scottish blood, so I'm not too much of a phony. That said, my clan's tartan is ridiculously difficult to get hold of, and also happens to be the most expensive tartan in existence (at least according to the woman in the shop), so that's just a generic pattern I'm wearing.

Dislike between the English and the Scots? Perhaps more of a friendly rivalry than anything else...

friendly until soccer is mentioned.

I don't know where you hail from because of the childish hiding behind imaginary locations such as 'Over the rainbow' etc. but, even I, who is a oompletely ignorant non-follower of football, know that English and Scottish teams have thier own leagues and do not meet on the football field.

hey Brian, are you that guy on the block that always yells at kids to stay off his lawn?

Ehhh then what were the Rangers doing when they invaded and trashed Manchester?
hmmm?

EDIT: I should say, aside from the idiot rioters part of the reason the town was such a mess the next day is that we just DO NOT have enough bins down town to deal with the amount of rubbish that many people would generate. I think the lack of bins in the city centre is delibrate, still tis annoying.

just having a fun trip out for the day

[Nightshade]

Really?


( oh I did edit post^ Its been a year I need to begin to get over my shoes being destrotyed by that mess I think. )

[kilted exile]

nah, but for the ne'erdowells that caused the problem they probably though it was - just a change from smashing up glasgow - they were playing russians btw not english

[Nightshade]

It was the rubbish I had a problem with,more thatn the samshing, I got maky cichken bone in my foot, because it was hot and I was wearing sandles and I landed on one when I arrived in the station next morning.
Ther was a brilliant picture though, not sure if it was the Rangers, mihght have been someone else. all these fans back lit by a bonfire, It was reminicent of a painting of ancient warriors, what with all the face paints and the gleams in their eyes and all.
I should have kept it...*sigh*

why do you feel the need to be so impolite to me?

Yes, it is the internet. However, up until now, I thought you had more tact.

And to show the power of the internet; well, Google Adsense anyway, here we all are talking about kilts, so what does Google Adsense display for us?

Ads for kilts, of course!

You're wrong actually Brian. English and Scottish league teams do meet in European club competitions. Manchester United and Celtic played each other home and away in the Champions League quite recently.

If I appeared to be impolite, it wasn't my intention. It is sometimes quite irritating seeing posts which, if only members were to give a reasonable indication of where they live or whether they are male or female, would help others reply logically. I am surprised that the administrators of the site don't insist on the information being a requirement if only out of courtesy.

Well I did say that I was a completely ignorant non-follower of football so there you go.
However, I don't imagine that it happens very often for Scottish and English teams to meet in that particular competition although I could be wrong again.

Hello, Scheherazade here. I am female and I am hailing from the UK.



Brian,

In everyone's profile there are fields regarding their location and also we have threads such as Where are you from?, Gender Poll and How old will you be? for those members who would like to share their personal information with others.

However, if they don't wish to do so, we cannot force them (and if we did, there would be riots in the streets of the Forum, calling us "Forum Police" and accusing us of "invasion of privacy" )
