handihoc Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 In March? Mishga, does that mean you're a Brit? Might we be neighbours? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handihoc Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I was visiting Loch Awe and Oban a couple of weeks ago. So tranquil after the lunacy of London, where I am. So not that close. Dunno why, I assumed you were US - or maybe Russian-US, because of your name. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mishga Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I got my internet name from Meach. He called me that. I was later told that it was roughly translated as "Pretty" The west coast of Scotland is truly stunning in it's natural beauty. The weather is a bit unpredictable but that is what a warm fire and a glass of whisky was invented for when the heavens opened. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the Fighting Seabee Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Happy Mothers Day! I'm partly Scottish, but unfortunately, I have not been able to see the land of my ancestors yet. Hopefully within the next 10 years I'll be able to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mishga Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 You will love it. Some of the views are breath-taking and the people are generally friendly and welcoming. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the views are breath-taking and the people are generally friendly and welcoming. There's a stereotype of Scots being all rude and unfriendly. I don't know why, I've visited twice, loved it, and found the people to be among the nicest I've met. I hope to go there again soon, and have an excuse, as one of my best friends lives there now. -FMB 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mishga Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 I suppose you get that everywhere really. Some nice, some bad. Scots are very solid and reliable people usually. Make friends with a Scot and time and tide will not matter, they will always be a friend. Most of the time quite literally give you the coat off there back if need be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDork Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 My experiences with the Scots have been great. A while back I was at a conference between the USAF and the RAF. One night after a day of being bored out of our minds we all went out drinking. One of the RAF officers was a Scot and we spent the whole night buying each other round after round and just talking about all sorts of things. It was one of the best conversations I had ever had. Then there's my wife. She is of Scottish ancestry and very proud of it. And I know it's a stereotype and all but damn can that woman drink! My Norse ancestry just can't keep up with it. I'm doing my best to get stationed in the UK next and hope to be able to see Scotland first hand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
