  • He actually says "a small but powerfully literate nation" - bit of a mangling of the language

  • "Powerfully literate" he says, though he mumbles.

  • I hate when they put documentaries on about being Scottish, it's always the same old posh tossers being interviewed laying on contrived fake thick 18th century Ayrshire accents! People in general fail to realise that there are a vast amount of different accents in Scotland; at times they can vary from town to town.

  • Cleary more intelligent than you though

  • Incomprehensible

  • I hate the stereotype that we are all Kilt wearing, Haggis eating Ginger folk that's just in the highlands....

  • What? No Frankie Boyle?

  • I know there's more than one Scottish regional accent, but not having been there, I can't tell the difference, however, there is something about how Scottish women (maybe men, too, I just haven't noticed) speak that I find sexy. Something about the inflection. If that's the right word. :P

  • "Mary Queen of Scots got her head chopped off by Liz Lochhead 1989"! LOL!

  • Melvyn is a bawbag, an aw that
