Scottish - To be made fun of ?
Quote by little
I'm Scottish. I'm proud to be a Scot. I'm proud of my accent, of who the fuck i am.
Well, I'm English (sadly, though with my ancestory I could fairly claim to be Welsh) but I'm currently living and working in Scotland.
I find the Scottish accent to be very sexy
Gimme a delicious woman with a sexy Scottish accent and I'd be a happy man :)

I've just spent a week in Cupar(Fife) playing golf and found everyone I met very friendly and keen to help, a huge difference to the south east of England.
The south east of England is largely, though not entirely, inhabited by wankers.
I should know, I was born and bred there.
I'm happy to have escaped, for the time being, at least

Dont buy that - and if people from the S/east do come across as being a little less than overly friendly its probably because we have busy lives to lead.......

(ps except for chavs of which there are quite a few..!!)
Scottish and like most Scots very proud of it.
Proud of the fact that we are excepted just about anywhere in the world with warmth and happiness owing to our renowned friendly behaviour when on foreign shores (and our ability to drink most other nations under the table and still turn up for breakfast in the morning
)
It has never failed to amaze me how many times abroad a native of the country I'm visiting has had a change of attitude towards me when they realise that I'm NOT English and I'm sure that the Welsh and Irish could recall similar events.
That's not a personal slight on the English but indicative of other narrow minded views.
The type of views that I would find distasteful on a forum such as this.
I take the jealousy of other Non Scots with a pinch of salt (It's not their fault where their ancestors were born after all )
And despite what others may think of us, wherever we hail from, lets raise our glasses to inclusion for all and one giant love in.
Now there's an idea for a munch :lol:

Little I hear you're anger and hope it doesn't get too you that much. People are people and that's what makes the world so different. I travel to England a great deal through my work and get the obligatory banter about being tight with money, drinking anything (which is pretty true!), having a blue complexion etc, etc. But I can't really say that it has ever been anything but in jest - as lets face it there are plenty of things to laugh about if you come from Scotland, England, Ireland, Eire and Wales.
Lets hope somebody has just rubbed you up the wrong way (so to speak!).
And to Judy TV - don't go changing what you do already. Never met you before but you sound like a well rounded person and I'm sure you what no mimick anyone's accent to intentionally hurt them.
I'm off to watch Taggart on re-runs....There's been a Murderrrrr

This seriously is not about anyone at all in particular. If it was, have no fear, i would have brought it up with whoever it might have been, but since there isn't anyone, it was very much an overview.
Its just about people not overstepping and knowing when to stop when something IS actually funny and when it just isn't.
I'm not highly strung, or over sensitive about anything. I respect other people, their opinions, their lifestyles. I am not anyone out of the ordinary.
I suppose what i have learned from this outburst of anger that at some points in our lives we each are in the minority. When a time comes when i'm not the minority, but someone else, then a wee laugh a joke about what ever it is, is cool, but never to take it too far.
Thankyou all for the lesson.
Lots of love, hugs and kisses,
Little

:jagsatwork: Gave myself a good stern talking to.

I was reading a post on double standards etc, and it is kind of relavent. I doubt many have NOT laughed at the program with the Baldy Man, or Rab C Nesbit, Billy Connolly or anyone who has beeen fortunate enough to see francie and Josie or the now defunct new years eve programs of old with Reverend ..the old Scotch and Rye etc...? I did the tour for several years at new years, and have several tapes I watch and they STILL raise a belly laugh. It has been common in ANY situation to be made fun of...part of life. I think it can be OTT, and I always laugh to see the Union Jack waved during ENGLAND type events, and especially if they are so called patriot. Many do not know the true origins of their own family tree, and know of the rich history of our culture. The boot is always on the other foot wherever you go, been laughed at MANY times up north, and we always mock the 'southerners' here in Yorkshire, it is how it is. I think you have calmed down a little bit now, but I like others know where you come from...and that it is OK to be miffed. Part of the joy of the forum is saying so. The best part is to be PROUD of your self and your country, and that shows your character. I ALWAYS say I am YORKSHIRE, because that is important to me...natonality, I think the UK is my country, and as to being English, well I think it is a strange mixture now, so to be politically correct I welcome the United kindom label more positively.
Hey, and I dont know of many countries that can boast to winning a GOLD medal for lobbing a BIG KETTLE down some ice and rubbing the floor with sweeping brushes...?
