I know Connery (http://forums.hitechcreations.com/forums/member.php?s=&action=getinfo&userid=12912) lives in Scotland.

lazs is of Scottish descent and has been there...once.
He knows everything there is to know about the place.

The one place in the world I'd visit (outside the stuff in the US I've not seen) is the British Isles--could give a crap about London, as all cities are quite similar, but the countryside is some of the most beautiful I've ever seen, and so many things (stone walls, cottages, etc---) have been there longer than my country has been in existence
-
Been there many times, and flown over as well, low and in clear weather.
Beautiful, - but so are Wales and the Lake district, and more and more part of the British isles.
Edinburgh is great, the countryside is great in the Highlands, and the true whisky,,,,yeahhh!

My local pub was built in 1689. :D
I guess I'm lucky where I live - right next to the Peak District and the Pennines (England). But you take it for granted after awhile I guess.
By the way, if you ever get the chance, go see Hadrian's wall. You'll see some pretty old stuff there. ;) I was camping up there this last weekend.
-
I'm Scottish by ingestion :rofl
Wanna see my haggis? :D
-
now now curval.... one could say something like that about you and the states.

1689! bah!! one of those new fangled pubs, the pub in my home village has been licensed since 1320. :)
Anyway devon and cornwall are beautiful.

Nope. I've lived, gone to school and worked in the United States.
-
all of em?
Fact is tho... I have never pretended to be an expert on scotland or it's politics.
I don't even go on scottish BB and tell em what is wrong with their country.
I spent a week driving around the place and had fun. Wouldn't want to live there.
My grandfather was born there. I took most of what he said with a grain of salt but... he did live there and all his ancestors did and.. he was right about single malt and the weather there.
And... judging by what you post.. I would say that you learned nothing at all about America or Americans... I don't know how that is possible but it seems that you weren't paying attention.

lol
yup, pick up Toad's ball and run with it.
:rofl

well.. if you keep saying stupid things to different people then you have to expect that most of em are gonna agree.....
That you are saying stupid things.

Curval,
What statements have I made that hurt you so deeply and personally?
Please quote.
Thank you.
-
LOL
Here he is now.
Hilarious.
I'm not offended or upset Toad....what makes you think that?

Perhaps you could explain what you mean by this?
What "ball" do I have?
-
curval... you seem to be the only one making it personal here.

Yes. I simply don't understand what you are trying to say.
What exactly is the "ball" that I have on this BBS or in some thread here?
I'm sure you can explain it succintly in a few lines.
Please do.
-
Okay, I'll humour you.
Your ball is the concept that whenever I come here to post I do so to put down the United States or that I never miss an opportunity to do so.
You state clearly in another thread that my record here speaks for itself.
For giggles I did a search last night on "Curval" in the O'Club.
I don't see to what you refer to. Sure we have had our little discussions in the past, but you have GENERALISED about my posting history. It seems that if I have an opinion I am simply trying to slag the United States, which is not the case...and yet you keep calling me the sensitive one...funny, I know...but true.
Try it. Search "Curval".
Now lazs has obviously read the thread where you make that suggestion and is sproutng the same junk. He has metophorically picked up your "ball".
-
Well, if you thought I meant every single post of your is US-bashing, I apologize for not being clear enough.
However, I think a review of your post history will show that in those threads that degenerate into a US v Euro "slagging" match, you are almost always there and you will slag along with the best of them. Not that you necessarily start it but you do descend into the hog wallow and wrestle in the mud with the best of them.
In the threads that are not US v Euro slags, you seem to be a normal, intelligent poster.

I'll accept that.
As I have said before I always favour the underdog and on this US centric board ;) the Euros are at a tremendous disadvantage...if only from a numerical standpoint...so, sure I'll get down in the mud...why not? I mean if all that you want is "yes men" around here there would simply be thread after thread of Euro/liberal bashing with subsequent posters saying "Yup" or "word".
Not much fun if you ask me.
I enjoy our debates and even our jabbing...because you sir are a smart cookie and I've actually learned some things from you.
:aok

Moving briskly back to the subject...Scotland......absol utely stunning scenery, fantastic people...(even if a lot of them dont like the English lol)....amazing whiskies (unfortunately I cant drink them....dammnit).........I've taken my wife up and round a few places up there, Ullapool, Loch Lomond, Edinburgh etc.....always had fun, had a few heated discussions about the past (and always always somehow ended up getting very very drunk with the person I was arguing with........)........all in all, if you visit, you WILL remember it...(eventually.....ish, thru a haze)...lol...

This was aimed at Lazs.
I hate to take up the wee glove for him, but bear in mind that We (or WEEEE) of Laz's origin did indeeed screw up the "English" at Bannockburn.
So did the Normans at Hastings.
And the Whisky is .....Scotch. Try Glenmorangie BTW.
The English are after all, Anglos, Saxon's, Pict's, - Romans, Normans, and as for today a heap of other breed.
:D
-
I have been to Scotland a number of times. It is a great place! People are friendly, girls pretty, and the beer..... :)
I have been to England a few times also and I would pick Scotland hands down if I had a choice of where I wanted to visit. Don't get me wrong, England is nice, but Scotland is much better!
I look forward to my next visit there!

All I did was ask about Scotland.
And the bananas took over.....

Like I said.. only been once.. put about 1200 miles on a rental car in england and scotland...
If I had to be in one place or the other.. scotland would be miles above england.
It is easy to see how they beat the english. It is also easy to see how they beat themselves despite having to only fight english.
