its like girls bringing a fat mate with them to a nightclub. With their heroin and obesity problems and their decrepid architecture they make us look good. But also share a hatrid of the english.

We like the Welsh too (if you want to generalise 'we'). We basically like anyone else who doesn't like the english.

Because when we showed them uillean pipes and they asked how to play them we said "you just blow like hell in there" and they believed us

1) Why? Unless youre scottish
2) Who really gives a rats ass about their independence?
3) Speak for yourself

They make us feel better about ourselves.

The King of Moo · 26-02-2012 05:48PM

We've more genes in common with them, or so it's generally believed, so many feel a greater sense of kinship.

Also, Scotland's lovely and I happen to have liked every Scottish person I've known.

luckyfrank · 26-02-2012 05:49PM

I dont like the welsh too arrogant i like the english better than the welsh

That's why , plus my Grandmother used say I was like my Scottish Grandfather.A little gurrier from Glasgow.

The 'Scots' are originally from Ireland, the Dal Riadans went from over from the north of Ireland and displaced the Picts from the western part of modern Scotland.

newballsplease · 26-02-2012 05:54PM

The trouble with Scotland is that there's too many scots!

the keen edge · 26-02-2012 05:55PM

We think that we share with the Scots a common Celtic ancestry; We also claim Spanish thanks to the Armada, obviously; Anglo-Norman; Cambra-Norman; Viking.

In truth your average Paddy is a mix of all these.

The galling thing is that some people pander relentlessly to which every one takes their fancy today, then changes next week when, (enter country here) reaches a further stage of (enter current sports championships here) than Ireland does.

aaronjumper · 26-02-2012 05:55PM

I do not know that many Scottish people but the ones I have met have a dark sense of humour which we also seem to have. That shared sense of humour is probably why. I am just guessing though.

Gee Bag · 26-02-2012 05:57PM

Bacause they too are pasty, freckly alco's who have to endure shyte weather and have a chip on their shoulder about the sasnachs.

yeah but it's a bit mad though a natural affinity for a foreign people, i think it's a celtic thing also, but i cant stand welsh people i think there wan/kers

Another question, do irish people have an affinity for the welsh ??

I dont think we do

True that.

Battered heroin is a definite winner!

YO LITTLE SISTER!!?

John Doe1 · 26-02-2012 06:02PM

My mother is scottish and my father is presbyterian (so of scottish ancestry). Scottish people are not all that to similar to southern irish really but certainly the personilty of ulster and scottish people are alike.

No, spicey heroin is the man there. Battered hash is deadly though.
