Asset


Although I may be wrong, I find it highly unlikely that any U.S administration would fund any sort of terrorist activities against an ally it needs to keep sweet since we're effectively their biggest aircraft carrier next to Europe, something that would've come in handy during the cold war and is now proving useful in the 'war' against terror.


I myself have heard of these accusations, but I think it's more a case of wealthy Irish Americans who sympathise with their bog cousins who're providing the cash for weed killer and sugar.

They all emigrated :)


My Great Grandfather packed his bags in his 20's and ended up in New Zealand after a stint in South Africa (where he met his wife, also Scottish).


Don't hold it against me though....


What they need is something to up the profile a bit, a Scottish version of Father Ted maybe? They have booze and funny accents at least.

So this boycott of Scotland and all things Scottish by the Americans.... are they going to give up:

Postage Stamps?

Anaesthetics?

Antisepis?

Artificial Diamonds?

Reaping Machines????!!!

Latent Heat?

Buicks?

Chemical Bonds?

Penicillin?

The Decimal Point?

Microwave Ovens?

Radar?

Breech Loading Rifles (we all know they love their guns)?


Oh... and their beloved US Navy!



The list could go on and on..... and yes, I did Google it.

lol, great video clip Ted Max.

What was that off? Reminds me of the Monty Python one where they talk about how hard it was growing up..

"...Coal! You were lucky, we had to eat dirt for breakfast, then walk 10 miles to school over broken glass!"


As for the Americans, it seems that they believe that everyone in world should be free to have their own opinions and make their own decisions.....so long as they coincide with theirs. Maybe we should also start an American stereotyping thread? :)

    • I'd be tempted to put up some sort of fence  to delineate the area and see what happens. Probably nothing.
    • Poundland have been there just over two years. 
    • Has anybody here bought some land from the council to become part of their garden? There are helpful guidelines on the Southwark website here including a PDF with associated costs, however the "valuation" element has absolutely no guidelines. It could be £500 or £50,000. You will already have spent £1000 on the process before finding out what they will charge you for the land - which would certainly be frustrating if it's not affordable for you. The land in question is a tiny patch immediately attached to the front of my property, approx 4 meters wide x 1 meter long. Would like to put a fence there to separate from the pavement and allow some privacy, keep the bins more tidy. The land is of no value to anybody else and is neglected currently - the council seems to have to stopped maintaining this area between the pavement and the houses on our street.
    • I suppose wind could have blown rubbish out of bins down into the pond. But I also counted three footballs and some smaller balls. Regrettably, there is also what seems to be a large dead carp or waterfowl, hard to tell at distance. I just hope the water quality is okay. I am not clear to what extent the pond is managed.
