I don't like those, they're WAY too big. I like the way the schnitzel is seasoned, better, too. Just too much food for an old man.

Don't get me started. I've had cursing matches with google translate over the confusion between Scots and Irish Gaelic. Even when you get that sorted, google is not your friend. Fortunately, I have a couple mates who have Gaelic and they usually help me out.

Our chimney sweep, no word of a lie, is named William Wallace and he's a Doric speaker. My best mate gave me the "Dash Of Doric" books to help me learn. The complete works of Robert Burns is on my nightstand and I've got a couple online Scots dictionaries bookmarked.

I can hear and see the difference between Scots and Doric Scots, but some variations are incredibly subtle.

How does a boudie differ from a bogle, if you don't mind me asking?

Whenever disabled folks would show up for a pow-wow and show ANY interest in the sacred circle during intertribals, (dances where everyone is invited to join us), we'd grab 'em and dance 'em on out there in one quick hurry! It was always an honour.

Here's a Scottish craft beer taste test I did a while back. Remember when I took a header off the porch and had to get stitches? I'm healing up nicely in this video!

Scots phrase of the day: Tattie bogle. A bogle is a spirit, so in this instance, it's the thing that scares critters off your potatoes, or tatties.
