At least Mr Stabby doesn't wear Burberry and take an active interest in Northern Irish politics.

Glaswegian neds often wear burberry caps. And the biggest cause of fights in Glasgow is whether you support Rangers or Celtic. This conflict has a lot of link to the whole Protestant/Catholic thing, hence the N. Ireland reference :biggrin:

According to my bf a lot of the bars in town are closed today because "there is a big pikey wedding and they are going to be celebrating". I don't believe him. Reports from town would be welcome :biggrin:

Oh no, he means proper travellers, gypsies or whatever we're supposed to be calling them now.

I should have guessed. Neds don't get married. They just get pregnant to get a free council house :rolleyes:

Haven't you heard? All the undesirables go to Cambridge...

Says it all really :biggrin: So where are you going and what are you doing? :smile:

Well, I haven't heard anything about the pubs being closed, but I have only left my room twice today since arriving at about 4. Don't care anyway, as I'm only going to go to the college bar, and I know that's not closed.

And yes Baz, I am highly, highly undesirable, as much as all the people at Oxford are mingers, as you said yourself :tongue:

I'll be drinking port and reading the Financial Times in the MCR. Otherwise known as Mphil Economics.

And Oxford girls ming... I don't feel any guilt in saying that, it's the truth - and the presentable people in the prospectus, they must all go to Oxford Brookes.

There are some very nice Cambridge men, some even "perfect son-in-law material for parents" to quote a friend. However, all seem to be taken. Can't comment on the girls - Alaric? Foolfarian?

You know someone is going to have to teach me about being a Scot because I am fairly clueless (except for the blue face paint, skirts and the fact that Mel Gibson is your national hero :smile: ).

Actually the people that wear the skirts fall into three categories;

1; Old chaps and other officials at ceremonies such as Burns ngiht, Caileighs or the Scouts if they feel particularly hairy kneed.

2; People from the north. Highlanders, obviously, but also a good number of the farmers in Aberdeenshire and around Inverness. Apparently they ( the farmers ) have switched from hard drinking to heroin in recent years though, so it's fair to question their sanity.

3; Tits. As an example the tit I saw the other day who was wearing a 'plain black kilt' ( aka a pleated skirt ) as part of a goth ensemble. I have no problem with transvestites; I just wish they wouldn't pretend to be being Scottish when they're doing it. A non-Tartan kilt is quite simply a skirt, end of discussion.

The blue face paint thing is accurate though, but they're called the tartan army ( national football team supporters ).

I thought pikeys were gypsies? Nothing wrong with gypsies; in my experience they tend to be hot and have fife accents so if that's the Cantabrian equivalent of the great unwashed I say bring it on!

You've got to hand it to them though - some ned benefit frauds are curiously imaginative. Many have turned tricking the dole office into a viable career.

I didn't see many at my interview but there were a lot of hotties at the open day I went to in March.

Please don't call girls "hotties." I hate that word almost as much as the word "birds."
