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? :)

    • But is it the Village councillors who are maintaining the board, or someone else? When the boards in East Dulwich were installed, it wasn't the councillors who kept the information up to date, it was Monica from Health Matters, who was greatly involved in various  community matters (eg the building of the community garden at what was then Dulwich Hospital). I can't remember if it was her who initiated the installation of the boards in the first place. She no longer lives in East Dulwich, and nobody else appears to be willing to liaise with the councillors and community related organisations  to take this on for the various East Dulwich boards.  It would hardly take much effort. Basic information doesn't frequently change (and no, I'm not volunteering. I am overstretched as it is). It's all very well to  get a physical  community notice board spruced up, but not much use if it then isn't being used for its intended purpose. And I can't see that it is part of a councillor's job to update notice boards which they didn't initiate in the first place. I'm sure they have more than enough to do.  The notice boards serve (or did do) a useful service, but all the information which could be put on them is surely available elsewhere. (Unless it is bringing to people's attention things which are of use/interest to them and they weren't aware they needed/would like, or didn't know how else to find the information). ETA: Oh. I've just read the beginning of this thread. I'd forgotten how it started. It's gone well off topic, hasn't it. Probably just as well, reading the OP.
    • The board in the Village (just near the pub) is in pristine condition, full of council-related information (though someone had stuck a flyer on the glass, now removed). Maybe the councillors there actually CBA to make use of a facility that took time, effort and taxpayers’ money to instal?
