Question for all you British bastards...

[Rabid Potatoe]

No; why do you hate Britain.

Because he's an idiot?

 

[Pharaoh Llandy]

Oh and someone said Yorvic is good, its not. It's alright if you're in york with nothing to do but otherwise there is a whisky shop close by the Yorvic center which is worth much more attention.

Yes, but giving your money to the whiskey shop doesn't help to fund the extensive research into Viking settlements within York that is going on in and around the Jorvik.

There are some pretty interesting things in there, including the skeleton of a warrior who died during the viking times.

And nobody even noticed the title

British bastards...

Ruthven is a brain ninja   

 

[Archonsod]

We did, but we consider it a badge of honour.

 

[Pharaoh Llandy]

We see the term "Question" and we don't really read any further.

 

[Ruthven]

By "Bastard" I mean "people who are bloody awesome!".

 

[Ursca]

In Britain, we use 'bastard' as a term of affection. If you want to make friends with a Brit, just tell them that they're a bastard, and possibly that you want to 'shag' their 'bird'. This of course, refers to buying them a drink.

I know my fair share of British slang, tosser!

 

[Cymro]

But the way that you use it shows that you may well be chirping up your fair share of the chocolate party with your guvnor's fork handle - this is a clear sign of too many attempts to shimmy up the wrong leg of the old thrupney bypass.

Stirling Castle is quite nice, and it's cheaper and less crowded than Edinburgh Castle.

THe Imperial War Museum in London is really good, just go to the depressing holocaust exhibit (if that is still there) last. The British Museum is okay, but not that great.

I was in/near Edinburgh twice but there wasn't a whole lot I went to see there. Although the Macbackpackers tour (I took the 5 day tour of Scotland) was pretty awesome. Edinburgh - Inverness - Skye - Oban - Edinburgh.

 

[Archonsod]

There's a huge number of things to do in Edinburgh, depending on what you're interested in. To be honest, I wouldn't particularly recommend the castle (in fact, if you want to see castles you should head to Northumbria instead; they're got more castles per square mile than anywhere else on the planet). Glasgow is only an hour or so by train from Edinburgh too, and everyone should visit at least once (if only to be able to say they survived).

Like? (I was really using it as a transfer point, and I have a friend who lives in Penicuik).

I survived changing busses in Glasgow to get to the airport and I didn't even get a lousy t-shirt >.>

Edinburgh dungeon is good fun, ghost tours and history tours are interesting, literary pub crawl is likewise pretty good (it's a pub crawl though, which I consider cheating). Then you've got the view from Arthur's Seat, the Zoo, the National museum (free), various other museums and galleries, various historical sites and monuments worth checking out too. Distillery and brewery tours, observatory, botanical gardens, numerous theatres and cinema's, the Scottish parliament, a metric **** ton of tourist traps all down the Royal Mile, Mary King's close, the catacombs, the royal yacht and quayside and ****loads of other stuff.

If you don't mind travelling, you have Glasgow reachable by train (60 minutes or so), likewise Stirling. Blair Drummond safari park and the national seabird centre (Berwick) are similarly accessible by train (and Berwick itself is worth a visit). If you want to sample the Highlands it takes around 2-3 hours via train to get to Pitlochry, though how good that is really depends on the time of year. Linlithgow has a castle and loch, though there's not much else to do there it's only 20 minutes out on the train (and on the way to Stirling or Glasgow). Finally, if you're into hiking or cycling you have a number of good trails to pursue, including the Union canal route between Edinburgh and Glasgow.

The Isle of Arran was pretty awesome.

There was no skeleton when I went, the best thing there were some helmets and clothing/armour to try on. And the whiskey shop provides a nice drink and it gets you drunk as well. If the que is small go to the Jorvic center and then go to the whiskey shop, if it isn't skip the Jorvic center.

Because he's an idiot?

Oh come ooooon! Relax and think about it. When i look on map i see islands and all of this islands has something written near of it. This is "(Eng)". Like "Cyprus (Eng)", "Bermuda (Eng)", "Falkland (Eng)". Cant you leave that islands to it's neighbours? You wont die, i suggest! Enough is enough, stupid Potatoe!

Anyway, i like Newcastle, Reading, Blackburn and Liverpool football clubs who has good relationship with Turkey. Also that big tower which shows "time", i forgot it's name, what was that?

 

[arbites_augmented]

I don't think I could read something so ignorant.

So if I understand you correctly, you hate the British because they were successful as an empire in the past? Do you hate everybody more successful than you?
