Though it was the University Student Union(SU) where it was held, so...

Plus, Falkirk isn't that bad. There are bad parts, but it's nothing compared to that place, Glasgow, is it?

PS I was at the match tonight.

Ah Dundee eh ? Not too far down the road from me , my little cousin Kathryn is down there studying medicine she is in her second yr i think , tho i am a Taysider originally myself when i moved up to this neck of the woods i literally couldnt understand what half of the Aberdeen people were saying lol

Good result for you boys. Heading through to edinburgh tomorrow jyst hope we get a result, then maybe knock you boys out.

Yeah, it was a great result. We were 2nd best, tbh but we scraped it. First half was dull, though it livened up in the second half. Thought we had lost it after we missed a point blank halfway through the 2nd half of ET, but we scored with 2 mins left from nothing. We went absolutely mental.

And Andy:

Oh nice. It is an ok place. Not as bad as people make it out to be.

And I take it she is at Dundee Uni, rather than Abertay?(since we are crap. :lol:

). I've only been up to Aberdeen once, though I do have a cousin up in Aberdeen. She was studying at the uni but had to quit for a few reasons.

The English Kidknapped Shakespear (i hope you know him) and the English tortured him... until William (Shakespear) taught the English how to read and put it onto paper... then Hulk Hogan came over for a wrestle with a past queen - (he REALLY is older than he looks) and he stole the parchment and made up the rest - and that's why YE'ALL talk funny and it is funny when the Americans call it English/American - i wish they would just call it American lol ... it's NO way what proper English sounds like.
P.S. - it still is the FOOKIN siliest situation when you talk to a Yank and they say - " Yeah - i'm one 3rd Italian and 3 quater 8th's Puerto Rican -4 quarter Icelandic and a 1% Irish.......
FFS..! are ye no American then LOL...!

OHH - Yes--- MR WILLIAM SHAKESPEAR WAS A SCOT -
i think that was the method to my madness lol...

by **jayl0ve** » Fri, 02 Dec 2011 23:33

I always knew Hulk Hogan and Shakespeare had some strange connection I could just never put my finger on it..

BTW I really do hate when people do the whole "1/4 this, 1/4 that, 1/64th this" thing. That is actually one of my major pet peeves.

I have an English last name (Hodnett)

?? That's something I got just by typing my last name into google.

I'm actually not somebody who even particularly cares about this kind of thing...I don't really feel any pride in having certain ancestors...never understood that

It has absolutely jackshit to do with me, personally.
