Eric Cartman

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

They make us feel better about ourselves.

The King of Moo

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.

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.

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

the keen edge

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.

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

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

Sure they're a great bunch of lads altogeher.

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!

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.

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:

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.

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.

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