I've said it before, and I'll say it again... forget Ireland, and come to Scotland.

 

The problem with Scotland is that it's full of Scots.

You forgot Boris, who ultimately delivered BREXIT.

 

The proper list is.

 

Johnson 

 

Truss

 

Sunak

 

Starmer

How could I forget Bo Jo?! :o

Not everyone is Scottish. In point of fact, if I hate anyone where I live, it's the fucking English.

We can be such arrogant pricks at times. Some English think that this is their very own mini-colonies, for them to lord it over the indigenous folks. I know that a fair portion of the Scottish population don't like the English, and maybe that's why I had to fight for my job, over the last two years. I don't blame them. Up here the English can be real cunts.

Ive been to Ireland and had lots of different, excellent, beers that aren't called Guinness.

 

All better than anything ive ever had in England. 

 

People there seem to only drink Coors, Bud or Heineken anyway. Ot Stella if they wanna fight.

Stella used to be 5.2% strength, and indeed used to be nicknamed 'Wife Beater' as a result. It's down to 4.6% these days, presumably due to 5% and above beers now incurring some sort of additional cost to their brewers (I think).

Better head for Ireland.


The Irish know how to pour beer with a proper head.

Nope :)

Seriously though, if Ireland is your bag, your dream quest, then you go for it.

Scotland was/is mine. 

Every man, at some point in their life turns to someone - a father; a brother; a god - and asks: "Is Antwerp all that there is? Is there nothing more?"

I'd say either the Singel or the Queen Elisabeth Hall. Both are fairly small, though recently they've been doing some film concerts at the second location after they finally realised they're never going to sell 15,000 tickets for those events. I could have told them that seven years ago before having to endure Harry Potter 1 and 2 and all the LOTR ones at the Sportpaleis.

There wasn't any time, it turned out to be a mission impossible to just find the way out, we ended up talking to Americans instead so no complaints.

They're certainly better than the Brits, whose small talk is entirely confined to one subject: The weather (spoiler alert: it's probably raining).

Been foggy here every morning for the past week.

 

Strong winds, and local flooding up here, for the past few days. It's calmer now, though.

Sometimes I wonder how we all cope.
