So Bruno, while we are in Scotland (someday) what should we go see/do? Besides drink of course. Or is that pretty much the local sport? :p
I can't wait to hang out with you again. You are a riot. :cool: :D
I'm not sure if my liver would handle a trip to Scotland. I have a hard time turning down a friendly drink...
Um Queen, really they speak English in Scotland, don't worry! THey have a bit of an accent, but... It's not like Spanish or German!!Quote:

C'mon, Boy! it's not about your liver handling it, but having enough braincells to look at the crew and say "Sure. I can sacrifice you in the name of Scottish ales and liqueurs!" Brave, kamikaze frontal lobe cells die for me evrrrrr mmmm nnnnnnngggggg....
I have this theory about brain cells.
There are good brain cells that want to study, work and generally act right. Then there are the "bad" brain cells that want to drink, party and spend your kids' college money on bike parts.
Bad brain cells are created when good brain cells go bad.
When the booze hits the brain, the bad cells push, browbeat and generally punk the good ones into having "just a little drink."
In the bike shop, the bad cells are the ones saying "They are phil wood hubs, that's ONLY two or three college text books..."
Well, I've already been to college so I don't need to study anymore.
umm kids.. you need to visit aust or nz to compare who can drink more than bruno..
no, not me!:o ian or our friends yes..

CC, me thinks that many of those Kiwis and Aussies can trace their ancestors back to Scotland. Och, aye!
The same could probably be said about them southern mountain folk. You know who you are. ;) :p
Good morning, CC. See this link for your entertainment for today:

Hope you're feeling a little better.
hey salsa! thanks for the link!
i'm well but tired..my friend took me out for a coffeeeeeeeeeeeee as i needed to get away from four walls, silence, my computer and books...even if i had to hobble for a few min it was a nice release...

When I was in college my roommate at a boyfriend who was Scottish, I can actually understand a Scot pretty well. My problem is after growing up all over the world I tend to mimic any accent I come in contact with...an old survival strategy used to fit in in a new environment. :DQuote:

Knew I shoulda flow-en over for that party.(Even if my one remaiming dependent child had to go shoeless for the next 5 years!)
Yeah, the Brits can drink, but Australasians drink more and faster.
Some people asked me what my home town was like - here's a web link that gives you an idea.
