You recently beat someone, after years of being beaten, at a sport you invented yourselves?
And that's something to boast about why? Ok, one question about the teeth, coz I used to think that was a joke from Americans, coz they're so used to seeing people with fake teeth on TV and films that when they saw a British film with real teeth they thought Brits had shit teeth. Thing is, I've noticed a HUGE, I mean HUUUGE amount of people here with a dental hygiene that's more than poor. Or, in other words, I know loads of people (Brits) who don't seem to brush their teeth at all. So, why is that?  |

Me, I'm typing in English, don't know what language you think you're reading in though:
Must be another one of those things you created and then let others be good at though |

The Scots don`t need to brush their gnashers as the alcohol kills any bacteria in their mouths.

What's the English's excuse then?
 (And, seriously, you should see the teeth of some people, and yes, some of them are English too, they're yellow. Or black *throws up*) |

We`re more considerate than the Americans. We don`t try and blind people with the glare off our tooth enamel. Besides we`re so superior that mere details of physical appearance seem trifling to us.
The yellowish tinge of some is due to their being cigarette smokers. I smoke reefer and mine are as milky white as marble tombstones. Actually since I`ve never seen a pic of you, how do I know you aren`t a terrible hypocrite with falsies or a retainer?

Edinburg or Glasgow? Which one? _______________________ You should be fencing, and I should be banging coconuts! "No more! The Earth's a burrito! We're done!" -The Snazz- Trying to take over the world, one nude cook at the time |

Glasgow, more interesting by far, especially for fans of Rennie MacIntosh and good music. As for British teeth, I think it might be partly because in many parts of the empire (tehe, sorry) they don't pollute the water with flouride (yum, yum) like we do. I'm of English, Scottish and Irish descent, but the only accent I do well is Fargoian (and I hate myself for it!) Cheers, all (that means you too Panda!)

Never. I prefer "Rebus" to "Taggart" and Rab C. Nesbitt

How about neither? There's a lot more to Scotland than the two main cities...(we haven't really met yet but I moved from Wisconsin to the Scottish Highlands, so I figure I should put in a good word for them...) --You can't pull a holdup with a bebop gun-- --Elizabeth's Rambles from Scotland: http://www.xanga.com/bebopgirl1969 |

What's Glasgow REALLY like? My image of it comes from Belle & Sebestian songs, so I imagine sweaters, tea, football, cafes and good books.
And bicycles. I'd love to go for the pretty cute indie rock happy I'm something of an Angliphile. Its mostly for the literature and music. Though you do tend to poach most of the good literature from Ireland. |

You find lots of people like that in the West End of Glasgow. I live in the East End, and refer to them all as "fuckin' Wendies".

I'm still in the "its been 8 days since I last saw them live so none of their songs sound as good as my memories of the gig" phase. Luckily I picked up a compiliation of local twee pop thats so twee it makes Belle & Sebestian look like fellow Glawegians (how the hell do you spell that?) Franz Ferdinand What are people like in the East End? Last week i was with some openly gay, scarf wearing, sweater wearing writer types who were completing their English PhDds and hanging out at Bloomsday. I mentioned the B&S gig and they all proclaimed it too gay. |

Was it like that before B&S or did all the East Enders move to Glasgow to be closer to B&S (leading to bands like Camera Obscura and, oddly enough, Franz Ferdinand)? I mean, i dunno how big Scotland is but if its like an hour's drive I could see myself doing it. |
