Just a freindly hint - never call a Scotsman an English guy! It can result in sudden death.

As long as they break up nice and early and don't have too much of that nasty headroom stuff.

Is it still OK to refer to the Scots as British? With having re-opened their own Parliament a few years back I'm not sure what the current PC statement would be. (no joking intended...)
When I was a kid, we knew an old Scottish fellow who told my folks, "I am not 'Scotch;' Scotch comes in a bottle. I am Scottish, a Scot, or a Scotsman."

...very true!
That's a great video there, although I think I understood less than half of what they were saying!
This guy is a total hero of mine, although again I only get about half of anything he says. I really admire his lifestyle and general philosophy of life.
