Scotland

[Anna N. Amos]

Laughing at all of it!



Adrian Paul is half Italian and half British. But he had that Scottish accent down and they always showed him back in the old days with his blue kilt and his sexy long hair....

Also the books written by Diana Galbedon about Jamie and Clare...

http://www.cco.caltech.edu/~gatti/gabaldon/gabaldon.html

Jamie was a really cool guy. It was a time travel book and Claire went back in time and met him. I think he was a 1600 Scotsman. Anyway, my friend loved the series and got me reading it.

She thought Jamie was cool because he beat his wife-- because back then you had to if they mouthed off -- and in his heart he did not want to hit her.

I stopped reading it and told my friend I hated Jamie. She convinced me to continue and I did find him appealing except for the one time he beat up Claire as that was what was the social standards at that time.

Anyone read them?

AND yes Adrian Paul is VERY sexy. Oh yeah!

man.... what sort of example is that setting?? i mean weve got a french actor for Highlander, and an Austrailian for William Wallace... whats next???

Its worse than that, Mel Gibson is actually American (he grew up in Oz though)

 

[Kilted Stranger]

was he born in America??? ooops!

American Film Crew
American/Austrailian Braveheart
Filmed in Ireland

something not quite right....

Braveheart in general wasn't quite right. 90% fiction.

I would like to know what do the Scots wear under those kilts?

 

[but'n'ben]

I'm sure 50,000 Scotland fotball fans will be glad to show you if you get them drunk enough!

 

[Kilted Stranger]

lol! we had three guys wearing a kilt at our school dance last year (i was one) two were scotsmen, and one had on a tartan thong... i wasnt wearing the thong i can tell you!

 

[but'n'ben]

only 3? 99.9% of our guys wore the kilt.

 

[Anna N. Amos]

Free as the wind, huh? That has been the rumor! Doesn't it get windy there? If your kilt flies up isn't one embarrassed? Or are they proud?

 

[but'n'ben]

In medieval times, when our lads fought the English, it helped scare the opposition.


Well, imagine a team of 10,000 highlanders charging towards you, swords raised, screaming in Gaelic, running downhill with kilts flying.... I think you get the point!

I don't think the guys are embarassed. Just see wedding videos when the guys are drunk by the eveing reception and insist on showing their backside to everyone in the vicinity.

 

[Kilted Stranger]

lol! actually its very refreshing.. at ceilidhs when you get very sweaty and hot its cools you down!

plus were all very proud... it IS cold in Scotland...

 

[Anna N. Amos]

B' N B'
It would frighten me for sure! Not very attractive!

Kilted
Perhaps refreshing, but they have nude beaches in California you do not even have to put on the kilt! I do not go, but if you do it is called Blacks beach.

 

[Kilted Stranger]

lol... cant say im tempted.... but thank you for the thought...

 

[Anna N. Amos]

Hehehehehe

[puppy]

[Hebridean]

If I ever get married someday, i'll be wearing a kilt at my wedding

...but lets just hope it's not a windy day!

A good pipe-band playing Highland Cathedral fair stirs the emotions.
