Where's a member of the Bush family when you need one?...

That's exactly my point. I say we install a puppet as Supreme Governor. How about Sooty?

It is a nation, it just isn't sovereign. It's totally seperate from the rest of the UK though, it has its own laws and education system. In fact, Scottish law is so different from English law that if you study Law in Scotland you can't legally practise in England.

Oh God, the parody has turned into the original.

that isn't because the laws are different, it's because we don't want scottish immigrants taking all our lawyering jobs.

Haggis is beautiful. Especially with clootie dumplings, tatties and scurly :)

Anyone remember the SNLA? (Scottish National Liberation Army) They were brilliant.

In 2002 they sent fake anthrax letters to Cherie Blair and some other folk - it transpired they hadn't had any anthrax so just used lavender aromatherapy oil.

Go the Scots.

It's illegal to import haggis into the US because it's illegal to use lung in food products there. Yummy :D

walked into a chippie, asked for a pie and chips and the b*gger chucked it in the fat to warm it up? But at least you can sometimes get gravy and mushy peas. And the ones nearest the border know what a cheese patty is!

And the Mars bars. They'll never survive without their deep-fried Mars bars!!!

They're surrounded by ocean, I'm sure they can get their own salt.

Rebuild Hadrian's Wall, and extend it around the entire coastline!!!!

I've only ever seen one deep fried mars bar.... and it looked utterly disgusting.


And if the English are "superior" then explain the horror that is Morris Dancing.

Least our national dancing uses swords.... not sticks with ribbons and bells on.

A nation is a collective of people with similar/the same culture, without total automony.
A state is a soverign, political entity without an exclusive, dominant nationality.
A nationstate is a state that has a dominant national identity. All nationstates are both nations and states.

Examples:
Nation: Scotland, Basque, Navajo, Moravians, Kim, Abroniginals, Korea.
State: North Korea, South Korea, Madagascar. (Jugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, East and West Germany all used to be states.)
Nationstate: Japan, Poland, Mexico, France.

I had one of those "scotch eggs" things, but I'm not sure it's Scottish.

Was pretty good for something deep fried, though.

Pshaw, that's not cos its a threat. It's protectionism for our own domestic haggis industry.

Ah yes, Scotland!
Whisky, kilts and a lot of special food :)
Mmmm, potroast in beer :D
BTW, haggis doesn't taste that bad, you just have to keep in mind NOT to think about what's in it ;)

No worse than sushi and other Japanese dishes, the one with seaweed(which I can't remember the name!! It has been 20 yrs!).... :(

Oh? I just established that Scotland is indeed a nation. Now someone else can prove or disprove it's a rogue nation. :D

Heh, I must admit that I would rather eat haggis than the stuff Danish canfood manufacturers sold to the German government in World War I... Almost nothing of the cow was wasted in production, the bones were just grinded, so the poor soldiers wouldn't choke on them... YUCK!
