Great to see you back Reprob8.

Funny cover story about the bloody towel. Was it the result of finding out that Vicodin is sold over the counter without a chit under another name in Scotland?

Be sure to greet everyone with a hearty 'Och Aye, Hoots the noo, mon!'

The Scots find this really amusing. Also, don't forget it's always referred to as Scotland, England... (Roy runs for cover Razz

)

Always ask for whiskey with a mixer such as Coca Cola.

Edited because i never realised there was more story to come.

Very funny! I'm glad you had fun. You're welcome to come back again (especially when the Dollar's so weak)

BS

PS-Sorry about the state of some of our castles. For as much as we were highly skilled at building them, the English were equally as skilled at knocking them down again.

@Reprob8 Could this be helpful?

And I "think" it might be a Sutherland Tartan.

Welcome back Reprob8 ...I hope that you had good weather (I ordered it for you).

Was that picture of you [head in hand] a product of a Glasgow Kiss?

Someone tell R8 what GCS means ,,, as in hospital TV soaps

Sorry I missed you R8. I might have met up had I not been away myself.

You should be a travel writer, R8 Smile

Hey, another rebrob8 photo essay! clapping

I've spent the entire bloody day editing the HTML formatting of articles on Scotland after our crappy web developers mucked up. Get over your jet lag, a few jokes would be just the thing to take the edge off my rage!

Good to see you back, R8. Is the rest of the essay in the pipeline? You KNOW we are all waiting Laughing

Posted: Mon Apr 30, 2007 6:01 pm

You look so cute in that kilt Wink

Welcome back Very Happy

No, seriously, how was the haggis?

Three days and nights with no telly?? The local pub must have taken a hammering!!

Welcome back Rep!

@R8, you appear to have an extra finger in the last photo with the stolen sign. Either that, or a really long and flexible thumb Smile

Fantastic. Lovely photos.

OK, that's it. I'm refilling the scrip, and going on holiday with Reprob8! Stealing signs and peeing on daffodils is the height of fun! Our Clan was called Clan Alpine. (Tahoe). We had a hobby of falling off mountainsides at midnight, building huge fires, flying down willow thickets while hallucinating, and mopping up with stolen Hotel towels as well, after crawling out of the lake at 3 AM with cracked skulls. Unfortunately, most members of our Clan became flatlanders, city folk. Tragic turn of events. The bears miss the members that left. I'm left throwing rocks, and M-80's by myself. Otherwise, I'm just like everyone else.

Welcome back, Rep! That has to be the coolest sheep pic ever.

Edit: haggis is great. I had a superb haggis burger in Glasgow once. I declined the offer of Irn Bru to wash it down, however.

Uhhhmmmm. After having a closer look at the picture, I'll have to quietly tell Reprob8 that champagne is not dark brown and is not sold in plastic bottles with "CocaCola" written on them.

I think he got taken! Laughing

^^^^^ He didn't get taken, the Coca Cola was Anthony's Laughing

:

Couldn't find a clearer image of Anthony to use, typically good photo essay, Rep, what happened in the blood shot and why no kilt with steelers colours?

i`m glad you enjoyed the scotish way of life.

(i cant understand them either..)

Posted: Tue May 01, 2007 8:57 am

Reprob8, don't forget to ask "What's worn under the kilt?" and then answer it for them: "NOTHING! IT'S ALL IN PERFECT WORKING ORDER!" in a cod-Scots accent.

Guaranteed to raise a laugh!
