100% Scottish

On Thursday, Scottish voters will flock to the polls to answer "yes" or "no" to this question: Should Scotland be an independent country?


[via]

If Scotland votes "Yes," the United Kingdom will split and the Scots will go their own way.

A Brit who ordered a bucket of KFC, pulled out this piece of chicken (pictured below,) and declared that it looks like a map of England and Wales without Scotland...



They say that breaking up is hard to do...



Are you 100% Scottish? Take this quiz to find out.

A Briton Walks Into a Pub

How do you tell an Englishman from a Scotsman from a Welshman from an Irishman?

No, this isn't a joke.



Who's who?



In yet another attempt to enlighten this ignorant Canuck, I'm asking you citizens of the British Isles (and Kav) if you can tell who's who just by looking at each other. How do you tell each other apart? Can you look at a Scot and know he’s/she’s a Scot on sight? Or English? Or Welsh? Or Irish?

Your nationalities are obvious when you open your big gobs to speak but what about physical appearance? Facial features? Mannerisms? Style of dress?

As for the Canucks and Americans, can WE tell each other apart by appearance?




All Canadians look like this. Wearing “toques” (knitted winter hats) on our heads and equipped with a case of “two-four.” A “two-four” is a box of 24 beer bottles, dontcha know.



And what about regional differences?



Typical Yorkshireman?



Does a Yorkshireman look different than someone from Dorset, for example?




Dorset Mong. Don’t let the cap tell you otherwise.



Over to you, bitches.

Stinky Scot Barred for Breaking Wind




Stewart Laidlaw was banned from his local for passing foul flatulence.

Regulars at Thirsty Kirsty’s in Dunfermline, Fife, were fed up with Laidlaw’s fetid farts.

Laidlaw blames the new smoking laws for his expulsion.




"No one could smell anything when the pub was full of cigarette smoke,” said Laidlaw.

Pub landlord John Thow countered with, "He revels in this and does it all the time and it's absolutely foul, it would make you sick. Since the smoking ban he's made a career out of this. He has been warned and asked politely to stop it on many occasions…. when he drops one he'll shout and wave his arms so everyone can smell it."

Laidlaw has been served “last odours.”
