BLSTK Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Quite how me leaving Scotland will help South Africa, I'm not entirely sure... Scotland's loss is surely South Africa's gain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLSTK Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Interesting detail: our dear friend Michael Enema once tried out for the part of the Strawman in The Wizard of Oz. His one redeeming quality was that he lacked a brain, which made him a prime candidate for the role. No word on whether he got the part, but he's been attacking strawmen ever since. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baneman Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Scotland's loss is surely South Africa's gain. I aint never going back. Too damn hot ! It would take more than an Sdkfz-7 to get me out of Scotland Lt Belenko will be pleased - I managed to work in an on-topic reference too ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLSTK Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Tell you what, Banesy. Let's call a truce. Tell your buddy Pedro to bring his bagpipes. How I miss the sound of bagpipes. We're gonna have a bonfire! PS - I'll bring the effigy of Mr Enema. You bring the matches, OK? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterH Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I can't play them I'm a drummer, not a piper.. But truce it is, and I know the perfect drink! We shall all partake of the incredible Edinburgh brewed Innis & Gun, but we shall sample the "Red Canadian Oak" Variety!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLSTK Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 @ Pedro You've got a deal. Good choice of bevies, as well. I happen to know the Canadian distributor of Ennis & Gun, head of PMACanada. I could probably get your Edinburgh brew cheaper than you could and you live there...go figure! Cuz if there's one thing Wee Scots love more than the drink, it's saving money on the drink. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLSTK Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Don't worry about the pipes. I'll get ahold of a set. Never mind that I've never played them in my life. There's a first time for everything. I'll blow into one end. Noise will come out the other end. That's what pipers do. How hard could it be? It can't possibly sound worse than the real deal, can it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLSTK Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Tell me, Cymru. You guys aren't planning to break away from Britain any time soon, are you? Before you know it, we'll be back to "Little Britain". And I don't mean the sitcom. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baneman Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 It would improve the quality of two countries at once. Ooh, low blow ... I think ! Luckily peace with Canada has just broken out, so there's no risk of a 2-front war For the record I rather like Caledonian 80, but Orkney brewery's Dark Island is the real deal, having brought me back into the fold from my dabblings in Belgian dark ale. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLSTK Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Fret not, Banesy. There's always the Crimea. They'll take anyone.

Canada Guy Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Do not take BLSTK's assertion that he is a real Canadian to heart. You have to think that -40C is a wee bit chilly, think toques are a national hat, that Bunny Hugs are acceptable winter wear and that you drink Vi-Co and dip your bread into Saskatoon Berry Jam. You also have to be at most half something. (1/2 Sardinian, 1/2 Norwegian Sami). But the one thing we can all agree on is that most American beer tastes like crap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also have to be at most half something. (1/2 Sardinian, 1/2 Norwegian Sami). But the one thing we can all agree on is that American beer tastes like crap. Having recently had the pleasure of visiting the States for the first time, I have to agree - how can the greatest of countries have got it so wrong?? By the way, not wanting to enter the fray on the Scottish/Canadian question, I have to say that, much as I like my Canadian cousins, Bonnie Scotland wipes the floor with them. And on the subject of haggis, I believe someone once said: Is there that owre his French ragout, Or olio that wad staw a sow, Or fricassee wad mak her spew Wi perfect scunner, Looks down wi sneering, scornfu view On sic a dinner? Poor devil! see him owre his trash, As feckless as a wither'd rash, His spindle shank a guid whip-lash, His nieve a nit; Thro bloody flood or field to dash, O how unfit! But mark the Rustic, haggis-fed, The trembling earth resounds his tread, Clap in his walie nieve a blade, He'll make it whissle; An legs an arms, an heads will sned, Like taps o thrissle. Ye Pow'rs, wha mak mankind your care, And dish them out their bill o fare, Auld Scotland wants nae skinking ware That jaups in luggies: But, if ye wish her gratefu prayer, Gie her a Haggis. I couldn't put it better myself! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AttorneyAtWar Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 This thread is just proof of how mad Red Thunder is making us, maybe this was BF's plan all along. Drive us all mad, insane against each other, destroy what makes us human. I can imagine Steve at his computer with a large smile on his face, he brings his phone to his ear. "Charles, I think a bug has come up, looks like it will be another two years..."

Baneman Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 ... But the one thing we can all agree on is that most American beer tastes like crap. Well, I'm assured that micro-breweries in Yankland ... wait, no, that just sounds ... wrong ... micro-breweries in USA do produce tasty ales. My sig is really a reference to lager which is pretty cr@p all over the planet I don't know, Raptorx7, now that we're all on the same page regarding haggis, it's clear that rational thought .. well, taste, at least ... is becoming widespread 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLSTK Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Do not take BLSTK's assertion that he is a real Canadian to heart... Too funny, Jay-man. Incidentally, I love your signature. As a grad student in Romance Languages ("Hello, Ladies"), I studied much of Voltaire's work. One of my favourite lines is: "il faut cultiver son propre jardin" or "we should get our own s*h*i*t together" (a somewhat loose bowel translation). Sadly, they broke the mould when they made him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLSTK Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 @ AlexUK Way to not "enter the fray", Smart Aleks. It's a little late for that. As for your assertion that any country "wipes the floor with your Canadian cousins"... (a) rest assured your Canadian cousins think even less of you and... ( I'd have thought you might have heard of something called a towel. But then again, you were never known for your intellect, nor for your hygiene and... © you should be pretty good at cleaning up messes since you've made plenty of them and... (d) it's unfortunate that you aren't qualified to perform any other meaningful line of work and... (e) people named Aleks are not particularly Smart. See what I did there? Didn't think so. This is not an attack on Scots, nor on Bonnie Scotland. My love of both is duly noted. It is directed at one individual, who shall be nameless. And rightfully so, since he is a wanker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLSTK Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 @ Not-the-Sharpest-Alex-in-the-UK Perhaps instead of allowing Scobie Gits like you to break up Great Britain, Britain should bannish Scobie Gits like you to some isolated island.. Oh wait. They've already tried that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLSTK Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 And on the subject of haggis, I believe someone once said: <<PLAGIARIZED>> I couldn't put it better myself! I'll tell you where you can put it, mate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLSTK Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 @ pcpilot Now the Californians. What can I possibly say about The Californians? Quite a bit, actually. But I will spare you all the hard feelings and myself the humiliation of then having to ask forgiveness because that is what we Canadians do. PC, I am truly sorry for derailing your thread. If it be your wish that I refrain from any further comment (in this thread only, mind you), I shall abide out of respect for my Neighbors to the West who see the sun shine for a full three hundred and sixty-five f*u*c*k*i*n*g days of the year. It won't be easy, but I will comply. It's your call. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLSTK Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Hey, how many of you have pre-ordered BFC's latest offering? Something with a working title of "Red Thunder". It'll be out any day now. Whatchall waiting for? Co-pilot to pcpilot: There, fixed the thread fer ya. It was the least I could do.
