Given that there's universal health care, they'd probably be terrified of the thought of being shipped off to the communist gulag of Scotland and avoid going to the doctor at all cost in case they'd be subjected to the death panels.

I picture them trying to survive through winter in the Scottish highlands armed to the teeth, shooting at any government official trying to get to them.


When I grow up, I want to be able to put in this much snark into my posts :lol:

Man that is epic, cheers for the chuckle :D
Blessed Be,

Not sure what that means, but I offer better-
Let's see, you are required to let in a person you pay with your taxes, who then proceeds to insult you and raise your taxes more. Idea! We have many extra, so how about we export a shipload of 'Tea Party' activists to Scotland? They will follow them around with bullhorns ranting about the taxes, gov'mnt overstepping, and hitler!

Its a derogatory Welsh language word for English or person of English heritage.
 
I still remember going to a Scotland V Wales rugby match and being vary impressed and amussed of the Scots chants of "We hate the English, we hate the english, we hate the English more than you"

I LOVE TOYS as well..... Franko, sorry about your run-in with the taxman.... Sadly, the 'toy' attitude is common, usually until someone actually uses an Amiga for any length of time.

One nice thing about the US,  we don't have to have the taxman in our house (at least in Milwaukee, they are not allowed in your house unless you explicitly let them in...I never let them in..):laughing:

But, the whole 'toy' thing.. It's really a matter of perspective. The 'Speak and Spell' is certainly a toy, yet ppl. have been using 'em to make weird 'synths', etc...  See Wikipedia...

{I really want to say 'death to the taxman', but I'm sure that violates the TOS... :lol:.... How about....}

May the fleas of one thousand camels infest the taxman's trousers for one thousand years (just to be sure ;) ) :hammer:

I don't see anything wrong with toys!  It would be a sad and dreary world without toys!

I certainly consider my Amigas toys - what's wrong with that?
I'm a grown up, I can have as many toys as I like. Yay.

Ah thats the reason why none of the island-apes teams ever win a flowerpot at the worldcup.

Except offcourse for that one time with the blind german referee with swiss passport.

So that should help keeping this thread alive for atleast another 3 pages.
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

@ hardlink
Thanks but no thanks, we've enough nutters here in Scotland without those loony tunes Tea Party bamsticks being shipped over... :)

@ Vidarh
Communists... bunch of softies that lot are... and a trip to the gulag would be better any day than a trip doon ra water tae Saltcoats...
We scots avoid the doctors like the plague, if you do visit one your usually greeted with the words, 'sorry pal but you've only got three months to live...'
(PS:It's always winter here in Scotland, my granda once told me about this thing called the SUN but I think he was making it up...) :)

@ JJ
Now we Scots generally get on very well with the Welsh, cos we both have one thing in common, we both hate the English (it's a birthrite), but dinnae go n try nickin oor wurds "Sassenach" is a Scottish word... :)

@ marcfirck2112
May the fleas of one thousand camels infest the taxman's trousers for one thousand years (just to be sure)
That's too good for a Taxman, a better punishment for them would be...
May the fleas of a thousand rabid scaby dugs infest every orifice of you and all your descendants, or may you choke on the smell of a thousand drunken Scotsmens jockstraps... :)

@ Kronos
That referee was actually a one eyed German with a swiss passport, who's actual grandfather was Scottish and his Grandmother was Welsh with hint of Irish thrown in... :)

Sorry if I left anyone out but me brains starting to seize up... :)

We Irish can join in here and generally get on with you Scots and Welsh well for the same reasons... Though we won't need to steal any of your words - we've plenty of terms of our own for the English ;)

Yeah, yeah.. I'm Norwegian. You guys don't know what winter is :P

(though apparently I probably have a Scottish slave amongst my viking-age ancestors, according to DNA testing one of my cousins had done, so I guess that explains why I'm a bit of a softie when it comes to the weather)
