Can ye think o a Scots word for ‘complaining’?

NEW WORD: flyte at (scold at)

Yes she is definitely on the button here. So many similarities.

Scotland exported so many people over the years. Yes, there were the Clearances, when people were forced to go, but the overwhelming majority of people who left went willingly because they thought they could make a better life elsewhere. They were the optimists. The pessimists didn't go – they were thinking, 'We'll die in the boat!'

Penicillin - Discovered by Ernest Duchesne 30 years before Fleming, who REDISCOVERED it - made some notes and left it at that... cue Howard Florey

Telephone .... see elisha gray and antonio meucci

TV ..... see philo t farnsworth

william wallace... most of what you think you know is bollocks.... see blind harry's essentailly fictional poem

One of my favourite responses to the 'lady':

All seeing... All knowing and over one thousand years upon the Isle of Kypros. Knowledge from beyond the astral plain and far beyond the comprehension of mere mortals!
The Oracle says that the Isle of Wight was once part of the contintent of Cyprus around 250-years ago. But then the “Equals” came and moved the Isle of Wight from what we know as Cyprus to the South of God's country by using home made explosives and a float of Hallumi.

She probably thinks the Greeks INVENTED the Isle of Wight!

Im not too familiar with the Scottish culture or history other then what i saw on Braveheart, but the race i compare Greeks and Greek cypriots especially are the Irish....I remember being a kid and watching the effect Bobby Sands had on the whole world when being oppressed in Britains Maze prison.....Bobby Sands one of my alltime heroes who starved himself to death inprison protesting the conditions of the prison he was being held in....

So, the root cause of the aimless shit-production overload by gasfart. Her Scottish hubby left her (or died for peace)!

Scotland's gain is Cyprus' loss
