lastly, do those crazy scots really run england?
i figured they'd be too busy fighting chairs or distilling things that taste even more like a bogmans asshole than they did before they were distilled.

So is the majority of the English like my cousins who think of the Scottish as the redneck part of the Empire that no one wants to talk about unless it involves jokes about sheep fornication? I wanted to take a day trip to Scotland but they said no because there was "nothing of import" there and it would be a waste of time. Also something about the locals being inbred morons who "wouldn't know civility if it bit them on the arse" and if I spent any money there, I'd get Scottish currency in change and it's "practically worthless."

So we went to Yorkshire instead. I tell you, the sheep-fucking jokes there just write themselves.

One thing I know about Scotland is that the place breeds a scary number of great feckin' bands.

Belle and Sebastian, Orange Juice, Eugenius, Teenage Fanclub, The Pastels, BMX Bandits, Aztec Camera, Josef K, Momus, etc.

The reason the rest of "Britain" hate the English national football team is because the media are so single-minded and sickofantic. Every game references 1966, wether it's the year the referee was born, the last time the stadium was flooded or the total price of a pie, chips and bovril at halftime.

Also, quotes like:

"Sven's playing a 4-5-2 formation out there, Rooney acts like two players!"

"Maxi reminds me of a young Paul Scholes, such skill!"

"Teams have every right to fear Brazil, they have the equivalent of 4 Wayne Rooneys in their team!"

If Clive Tyldesley wasn't such a biased crawler, Gary Lineker wasn't such a smug twat and Ian Wright didn't act like he was just some moronic fan who'd won a competition to get on TV then perhaps the rest of the country would be sympathetic of England's woes.

Instead, we're all just sitting with baited breath hoping, waiting for the inevitable moment when England fuck up on penalties again and we get to see grown men cry and make pissy excuses about linesmen, grass and ball shapes to justify the fact that they've blown their 2nd rate team way out of proportion for the past 6 months.

Also, some 8-year-old getting a kicking isn't normally news, but the fact that he was wearing a football top is? Nope, not in Scotland I'm afraid. I'm not justifying 8-year-olds getting beaten up, but I don't see what relevance this one story has.

It's just like when some kid gets stabbed outside a night club and the newsreader mentions, for no reason whatsoever, that he was black. If he was white with ginger hair, would it be mentioned, course it fucking wouldn't.

If you want to test the true "soccer thug" mentality, I suggest you travel on the Glasgow-Carlisle train wearing a Scotland top. Just wait until you cross that border.

Incidentally, I have nothing against the English and I prefer to watch England games with Englishmen as they provide some good-natured banter. If I was to be anywhere in the UK that isn't Glasgow, I'd pick Liverpool, Newcastle or Cardiff. All 3 share the same fucking awesome atmosphere as the Promised Land that is my place of birth and I've never encountered any bother.

According to this site, the current unofficial world champions are Uruguay.

Also, I agree with everyone re: the original poster being a fanny.

Heh, heh..."u r gay."

Yeah, but with the exception of Sonic Flower Groove and Screamadelica, have they done anything else worth listening to?

Aren't they the band that proclaimed: "I! WILL! WALK! FIVE! HUNDRED! MILES!!!!!!!!!!"?

I don't mean to be disrespectful to your cousins, but if they think a Scottish £5 note is of any less value than an English £5 note, that Scotland contains 'nothing of import[ance]', that Scotland is full of uncivil, uncultured rednecks and that everyone fornicates with sheep, then i think their 'inbred morons' comment is rather hypocritical. I don't mean that in the literal sense of course. I mean that their point of view is based solely on xenophobic nonsense, far-fetched stereotypes and short-sightedness. Yorkshire is nice though.

It reminds me of the town i spent ten years in. Grimsby (pleh!) in England. The people there actually thought that the people who lived in places like Louth and Barnoldby, which were no more than 10 miles away, spoke in different accents. When my mum moved out of Grimsby her workmates were horrified, asking how she would make it into work in the morning, and whether the place she moved to had electricity. With no hint of irony at all.

I suppose it makes my view of the English a bit biased, what with my family coming from Edinburgh (albiet a pretty shitty part of Edinburgh), which is mainly nice, and having lived in Grimsby, which is mainly shite.

Meh.

Yeah, but with the exception of Sonic Flower Groove and Screamadelica, have they done anything else worth listening to?

Only the mighty VANISHING POINT.

JUST TO BE THE THOUSAND MILES WHO WALKS A FALL DOON MON WHO WALKS UP AT YOUR DOOR LA LA LA LA

Also, can someone please tell me what the difference is in accents where "th" is pronounced "F"? My London cousins did that (something = somefing) while the Manchester cousins did a th and condescended to the "f" cousins. I've heard that it's a class thing from someone, and a region thing from someone else. It's starting to drive me nuts.

my president told me it was OK to kill everyone who speaks with an accent.

---
Kill Whitey.

People from the East of London tend to pronounce the 'th' with an 'f'. It's more regional.

"Cerebral ... does that mean your heart?"

How would they say "What the fuck"?

It was such a waste of everyone’s time and money that even the Tokyo stadium’s rape robots apologized– something they were programmed specifically never to do.

So I said, "Well fem rotor turbines ain't gonna generate gravitons by femselves!"
