Hi, Fatty!
How are you?
Hehehe.
No, not really. You remembered me of the famous remark by Ernest Renan: "A nation is a group of people united by a mistaken view about the past and a hatred of their neighbours".
Not very easy to debunk it. :op
Brazilian patriotism, for instance, emerged when the Emperor back in the 19th Century started to mobilize the population around the war against Paraguay - the hatred for Paraguay kept Brazilians together despite all differences.
I think many nations define themselves according to how much hatred they have for the English. They were an Empire, after all. Hehe. :-)))
I love the Scots. I love the English. I love the British. I know you guys won't like it, but I love the French too. :-)
Take care, fatty, always a delight to read you. I hope you're doing fine and that you have a nice week.

I don't mind the French. They're funny. And Victor Hugo was French. And I like him. And I quite fancy eating a horse.

Hiya Rick. I dont mind answering any questions you have. I'm not your typical anti-English Scotsman (until it comes to football of course) and I think Alec Salmond is a walloper but I'm happy to help if I can.

Hi, Joxer!
How are you doing?
Oh, my, I laughed out loud with this. And I thought to myself: thanks goodness Brazil isn't across the [b]ENGLISH [/b](you forgot the bold lol) Channel.
But then...isn't it across the [b]ENGLISH [/b]Ocean? :op
Take care, dear.
Have a great day!

^ we shall leave Brazil alone until your government decides that a couple of tiny islands that belong to us and have a population of 10,000 sheep and a couple of randy lonely farmers 1000's of miles from us are yours and invade them just like your neighbours did in 1982 and then get their butts kicked by the British Forces for their petulance,until then you are fine.
plus you gave us the samba,carnivals,Robinho,Ronaldinho,Ronaldo [the bugs bunny toothed one and not the diving cheating poofy winker],Pele and City Of God,leonardo's other half and beautiful women dancing in next to nothing and Raf so you cant be all that bad :-]

Doesn't it make you proud to be Scottish?
It's shite being Scottish!
We're the lowest of the low!
The scum of the fucking Earth!
The most wretched, miserable, servile, pathetic trash...
that was ever shat into civilization!
Some people hate English. I don't! They're just wankers!
We, on the other hand, are colonized by wankers!
Can't even find a decent culture to be colonized by!
We're ruled by effete arseholes!
It's a shite state of affairs to be in, Tommy!
And all the fresh air in the world won't make any fucking difference!
Sorry, man. Sorry.

As if you could do anything these days. English empire is nothing but America's tiny lap dog. You could maybe fight Brazil if USA gave you permission first. Only an Englishman can still horse on about the Falklands and kicking the Argie's butts.
Bet you still hate Maradona, love Sunday Yorkshire pud' at Witherspoons, think Wayne Rooney is the best striker in the world... and still think England will one day win the World Cup again.
And BTW... if it wasn't for the diving cheating Ronaldo, Man Utd wouldn't have reached the CL final last night... wait til they lose him and Alex ferguson retires, and we'll see how poorly Man U do for English football next year.
I know Scotland will never win SFA (ironic ha), but at least we know our limitations.
As for hating the French... I thought you were first joking, but you do stereotypically still hate another nation with such verocity that it's actually quite sad. Actually go to Paris and see how beautiful their city is and how pleasant the frecnh people are... instead of going to Benidorm or Teneriofe this year that is.
Proud Scot... wouldn't go so far to say we're a proud nation still, possibly just as proud as the next person is for their country, Joxer included, but i think this is a very old fashioned view of Scotland and i would love to answer any questions you may have Rick.

Ha Ha... nearly could have got away with sounding sincere if I hadn't wrote that... well spotted... still a beautiful beautiful city though.
I think England v Scotland matches should return though... would be a great end of season spectacle. (Although we would get pumped, it would be a fun occassion I think these days... fans have lightened up a bit since days of yonder... just look at how well behaved rangers fans were in Manchester for Euro Cup Final last year.
