Yeah, I know, there have been a lot of posts in this sort of format. Accuse me of bandwagon jumping if you will- frankly, it's 1am here, I have a 2000 word essay on Scottish History to complete before Monday and i'm just finished the last of my coffee. Unless you can relate my desperate struggle to unearth details about the Protest reformation in Scotland, I don't care.

This is partially a retort to Adamdidit2u's fantastic 'Moving to Canada?' post (http://www.ubersite.com/m/51349), and partially just an exercise in self-absorption. Sue me. Uber, I present to you a beginner's guide to Scotland, written by a very tired and caffeine-fuelled Mike the Scottish. Enjoy. Or not, as the case may be.

Jesus mate, calm down! This is meant to be an over-the-top, cartoon Scotland i've presented, because that's what a lot of people view us as. I know it's a gross oversimplification, I love Scotland for exactly the same reasons as you. I know gail porter is average. I know hating England is outdated and immature. I know i'm not seven shades of awesome. It's just a light-hearted attempt at humour which glosses over the real reasons for Scotland's national pride.

Good job. I'd like to learn more about other countries via ubersite posts. What an educational experience!!
Though, I'd have to say, I greatly dislike the Proclaimers based on that ONE song I've ever heard of theirs; the "500 miles" one you were just talking about. I'm pretty sure nobody in the US likes it. Oh well! From the reviews it sounds like everyone else does.

Fair enough dude. I have to say though- '500 miles', played at a nightclub, always gets the crowd on their feet and the most reticent sociopath jumping. I have some good memories of that song... Have to say that 'Letter from America' is my favourite track of theirs though.

We do get snow occassionally, but when we do, we get submerged in the bloody stuff. There's no middle ground, is there?

The Magna Carta was certainly a more important document historically, but the US constitution was clearly inspired by the Declaration. Parts of the US text are practically lifts from it.

The Declaration does have its faults - the first section is some bullshit story about how the Scots travelled through the Middle East to reach their promised land. People reading that nowadays just say "what the fuck?"

But the ideals it expressed were way ahead of their time. It was over 400 years before the Declaration of Independence, after all.

You mind if I make a post about the Declaration of Arbroath?
It'd be kickass, and our American friends need to see it. If you don't mind.

Yeah- seriously, we should do a joint post or something. Nobody knows about it, yet it is possibly the most important document of Medieval times. Incidentally, you seen the Proclaimers live? They played our Student Union (Glasgow) last year, and were earth-shatteringly awesome.

Just a matter of opinion, but I think the Magna Carta is probably the most important, wouldn't you say?

Not bad at all, but you missed so much, like the woad fighters that ran into battle totally naked except for blue tattoos. They kicked ass on the Romans, guys who though they had a monopoly on kicking ass at the time. They would cut off a legionaire's head and tie it to their belt (presumably the only thing they were wearing). Scotland has been kicking ass for centuries. Probably the most ass-kicking-centered nation in the world.

Cheers ckoewing- thinking back on it, I could have put in a buttload more, and refined what I have, but i'm pretty damn tired. If i'd had more time, i'd have put pictures of Robert the Bruce and various rants about the greatness of mince and tatties- cannae have it all!

I would walk five hundred miles...
to find out what an oxo cube is. I'm assuming it's like a chiken/beef bullion cube. Which I really HAVE made a 3 course meal out of.

Anyway, this was cute.

In fact, I may do some Scottish-themed posts. So much untapped potential. And thats just the women.

I'm an American, or should I say I was born here, and live here, but my origin is not here, but other countries that my ancestors came from and somehow they fucked eachother and eventually through time i got born in theis place.

anyway..... Scotish people kick ass, with their accents and what not, i can do a good impersination myself. Haha, yeah this is perdy funny, give ya credit. Though you should have had a bit more junk in there, thats the only thing that may need improvement.

Yeah i know america is somewhat of a joke, eh, but who gives a fuck? really? everyone's country is a joke, the whole world is a joke, go ahead try and prove me wrong.

Didn't the scotts invent Golf? i'm pretty sure they did, props for that, though i wouldn't suggest watching it on TV, thats worse than well going there and standing on the side of one hole and holding a sign, which is the most pathetic act i have ever seen.

they also had a lot ta do with boxing i think, i dono, i used to know a bunch of other shit, but it's all gone now, all this shit that's happened to me recently has fucked up my memmory.

good, funny, worth it post.

Yeah, you use it to make gravy and stuff. Goes really nice with roast beef and a couple of yorkshire puddings. By the way- i'm not cute, i'm awesome.

Sorry about the lack of NSFW folks... I blame it on the coffee.

I maintain that England is the kicker of all arse, but I'll give you a sympathy vote for being deluded.

Should I have put this as NSFW? I don't think it's that bad.


Lisa, if you don't like your job you don't strike. You just go in
every day and do it really half-assed. That's the American way.
