a guy gets drunk at a party, leaves to get a taxi home, misses it, and decides to return to the party and wait there till the morning
when he re-enters the house where the party was held, it’s all quiet, the guests have all left,and the owners of the house have gone to bed, so he makes himself some pot noodles in the kitchen, then falls asleep on the sofa
in the morning, when the householders wake him up, he discovers he is in the wrong house
as one commentator on youtube says- ‘if this had happened in the US this poor fellow probably would’ve been shot‘
as it’s Scotland, however, when the householders find a strange man sleeping in their living room, they offer him a cigarette and a cup of tea . . .
a wee video listing some interesting things about Scotland for anyone who doesn’t know much about the country
ye’d think though that if someone went to the trouble of researching and producing a video about Scotland, they’d take the time to learn how to pronounce the name of the country’s capital city, Edinburgh – it’s Edinbrruh (where the ‘u’ is pronounced as is the’u’ in the word ‘up’) but most definitely NOT Edinboro !
SCOTCH (Stop Cruelty Of The Common Haggis) the organisation behind the protection of all of Scotland’s wild Haggis breeds has issued a warning to dog owners that after the 25th of January the Haggis hunting season is closed as the breeding season starts, and any dog found worrying Haggi in their nesting grounds will be prosecuted.
Hogmany/New Year is the occasion for great celebration in Scotland, much more so than Xmas
indeed, for 400 years – mid 16th century – mid 20th Century – christmas was hardly celebrated at all in Scotland with December 25 only becoming a public holiday in 1958 and Boxing Day . . .not recognised as a festive holiday until 1974 ( http://tinyurl.com/y8fhkxne )
while the rest of the world parties on New Years Eve to say goodbye to the old and welcome in the new, in Scotland, New Year celebrations start before Dec 31 and extend beyond Jan 01
so it was that yesterday saw thousands of ordinary revellers bearing flaming torches join pipers and other entertainers in a parade through the streets of Edinburgh . . .
the kilt (with nothing worn underneath it, of course) has been described as a garment ideally suited for shitting, and shagging – it is not without drawbacks, however, when climbing Scotland’s mountains in mid-December . . .
. an’ ah tak’ the low road, wu’ll maybe no bump intae each other!
in December 2014, the blood alcohol concentration limit for drivers in Scotland was reduced from 80 mg/dL to 50 mg/dL
an expected benefit of this change in the law was a reduction in the number of road traffic accidents (RTAs) attributable, in part, to alcohol consumption
