I think I like being of normal standard rather than having a silver spoon stuck up my ****.

I wouldn't know what to do if I was filthy rich.
If I had a lump sum of money - I'd think about my family i.e. buying them a nice house for them to live in, away from trouble. And also donate to cancer charities for my aunti who is suffering right now.

I don't think I'd like to be rich. I like being stable on my own money that I work for

Although, in the reasonably far past England and Britain have been used interchangeably to refer to british stuff.

Mostly by us english of course, back when the boot on the kneck of the rabble was much firmer

Cant wait for the Olympics. When English athletes do well they're English and when others in the Union do well they're British.

As oppose to the scottish view which is when the english do badly they're useless and when the english do well they're useless.


At least you're consistant.

I have scottish blood in my family and my grandma and my dad are scottish.
But yes, no need to get in a twist.

Afterall, the description of Rudolf wasn't the moral of the story

Contrary to popular belief, Millions of People CAN be wrong.

Everyone always does.

If it helps I think I'm entirely bereft of scottish blood.

Just a few drops of maltese to mix with the english.

I think the only thing I don't get about Scottish people that I seem to have come accross recently is when people mention war or anything to do with that they seem to really put their foot down.

Y so serious?
