once when i was younger a friend of mine invited me to a "elegant birthday on the sea". She wrote in the invitation that tie and swimsuit was required. As she requested I went to the party in elegant shirt, necktie, elegant jacket (maybe the name is wrong, the torso part of a suit) and swimsuit. Of course I was barefoot, how do you go to the beach?!
Sounds like an idea. But it wouldn't fly here. While we had a number of Scottish immingrants in 16th and 17thcentury (if memory serves me), they've been long assimilated into the population, and there's no kilt tradition here...
+1 for the Kilt. Started to wear them to work last year everyday not only at weekends when i felt weather was warm enough for me. Personly i think they are more comfortable than sweetpants and a you can wear a real tailored Kilt to everything with the right accesoirs. Favorit game of-foot-the-ball? T shirt / Poloshirt and maybe some armyboots or wahtever foowear you like. Going out with the ladies? tune the same Kilt up to white tie or black tie. (but a full formal Kilt outfit gets expensive, like a full tailored suit). You dont need a tradition. I am german wihtout any conectiuons to scotland and enjoy wearing Kilts. You just need some balls to pull it off and some good comebacks.
Of course it didn't want to leave, stupid humans were threatening a Scot's whiskey supply! :joy_cat: And that's the polite European Badger. That guy will share it's burrow during the winter. American badgers can tear a truck apart with their claws, and do NOT like visitors. Shoot an American badger in the head and you're just going to piss it off. Honey badgers might be tougher, but I'm pretty sure American badgers are meaner (and that isn't even getting into the damn wolverine, which is roughly 3500lbs of pissed off in a 35lb container. Wolverines chase Kodiak bears and even polar bears off their kills, things 20x it's mass!)
I've been a few time both in Scotland and in London, Stots are way more gentle, where Londoners are polite. It's a big difference.
I'll check it out, I haven't read ARRSE in years! Bit like that death by snoo snoo reaction between horror and arousal.
No, we're not (Clan Scott by blood, and a good friend is US Army EOD but grew up in Glasgow). Reminds me, what's the Scottish equivalent of Jack Daniels whiskey? The cheap nasty shit that you drink because you're too poor to afford anything with actual taste. (Or the cheap nasty shit you sell to gullible Yanks, whichever) I've been meaning to finish that conversion of the old parkour Mk12 Wulver, with him stumbling-drunk and leaning up against a lamp-post with empty bottles of national adult beverage around his feet. USAriadna is easy, Jack Daniels. Kazaks is just as easy, Stolichnaya. Merovingia I'm going a little upmarket with absinthe. But what's the Scottish cheap nasty shit to get drunk in a hurry? (In case you can't tell, I don't consider Jack or Stoli fit to clean firearms with, let alone drink)
Whilst not whisky (only the ignorant, heathens, sassesachs, and people that talk in the cinema would spell it with an 'e'), the main Scottish yobbo fuel would be Buckfast: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckfast_Tonic_Wine Otherwise Famous Grouse https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Famous_Grouse or Bells https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell's_whisky are classic paint strippers
@Section9 Teacher's - cheap and nasty. Probably about on par with Famous Grouse, I quite like Bells to be honest. But I won't touch Teacher's
Goodness it took me a while to get it! Whiskey is Irish! Wisky is Scotish! (Sorry, English is not my first language and I was confused as why would there be a problem referring to the same type of drink with either name.)
