Why do we like the scots ?

Pandora2 · 26-02-2012 06:15PM

Taking a wild guess that this is a match inspired thread;)

Well, I like some Scot's........'cos I am one, of Irish parentage and, at this stage I have spent most of my life in Ireland! Don't like burgher's (Edinburgh) they are Ok on face value but very clannish imho, parden the pun.

Personally I feel sorry for my brother, he's married to a French girl!!:eek:

Scottish people are not all that to similar to southern irish really but certainly the personilty of ulster and scottish people are alike.

Would agree with this ^^^.

Used to live in Scotland. The only thing I really preferred about Scotland to Ireland is that they are excellent queuers.

They don't say "next please", meaning whoever thinks they should be served next to come up. They say "first please", meaning whoever was here first come up to get served. Being in a queue in Ireland is soul destroying.

Either "did ye get" misspelt or "did yeti get" misspelt. I'd bet on the former.

That deserves it's own thread

Because they're Irish. Or were before they invaded Scotland and embarked on the genocide conquest of the picts. Look up the kingdom of dal riada sometime.

Some of us know our history (and no it is not all about "hating" the English)

More so than wales and england,

Because we're the lowest of the low, the scum of the fuckin' earth, the most wretched, miserable, servile, pathetic trash that was ever shat into civilization.
Some people hate the English, I don't. They're just ****.
We, on the other hand, are colonized by ****. We can't even find a decent culture to be colonized by. We are ruled by effete arseholes.
It's a shite state of affairs to be in, Tommy! And all the fresh air in the world won't make any fuckin' difference!

No, no they are not. Scottish are Scottish.

Powerful stuff, I'm sure you'll agree.

Because the first even human settlers in Ireland came from Scotland. On a good day you can see N. Ireland from Scotland.

No, the first odd human settlers came from Scotland.

What's with this 'we' business OP? Since when did you and your opinion become 'we'? Do yourself a favour and maybe just speak for yourself in future.

The Scots are exceedingly gullible people so we like them because we can take the piss and they take it in good humour.

We invented the Uillean pipes and convinced them they weren't a joke.

We invented whiskey and pretended that it wasn't disgusting so they immediately liked it!

Doc Ruby · 26-02-2012 07:52PM

I love the Scottish accent, its great, and we are very similar in character, sense of humour and nature I feel. Scots Gaelic is basically the same as Irish, highlighting the ancient roots that connect our two peoples, and there are efforts underway to make it the official language of Scotland, although unfortunately being closer to England they had a worse time of it in keeping up their native tongue, as it was more ruthlessly suppressed.

Obviously they'll have an easier time of it once they gain their independence, so here's hoping that happens soon.

There tight miserable so and so's with little or no sense of humor the majority of the inhabitants look like they have been sniffing paint thinner there whole life.There very hard people to warm to.

Even when "we" go over as migrants, set up our Irish ghettos and our Irish football clubs ( Celtic) and then sing pro-IRA songs. We can wave our tricolour at them and "we can take the piss and they take it in good humour."

Maybe we like the Scots because we are mostly ugly like them?

You're about as Irish as Maggie Thatcher.

In my hole you are. There's never a topic about Ireland but you and the other three leap in and lay slanders and aspersions on the good nature of the Irish people as fast as you can type. Its a sad comment on the education system of wherever it is you originated, and I think we can all make a good guess where, that attitudes such as your own are fostered in the modern world.

WoooooOOOOOOoooooooo

The Scottish are funnier than us...much darker sense of humour. Probably because their weather is more miserable. Moved there with an ex with the intention of staying long-term but left after 4 months as I couldn't handle the horizontal rain in Edinburgh. Hard to make friends with locals there though. Glasweigans are lovely. And the country is the most beautiful I've ever been to. There's other nationalities I like more but I like them overall.

lol you are making a dig at our Irish education system there. Hard to believe someone as intolerant as you came out of the same system, but if you want to claim I'm from Mars you can if it makes you feel better, a chara.

Why do we like the scots ?
