More insight for you sassenachs (yes mods ........another long list post from me ) IT'S A PURE DEAD GIVE-AWAY THAT YOU'RE SCOTTISH IF: 1. You consider scattered showers with outbreaks of sunshine is good weather 2. The only sausage you like is square 3. You have been forced to do Scottish country dancing every year at secondary school 4. You have a wide vocabulary of Scottish words such as numpty, aye, aye right, auldjin, baltic... 5. You destroyed your teeth when you were young using Buchanan's toffee, Wham bars, Penny Dainties, MB Bars, Cola Cubes etc 6. You have an enormous feeling of dread whenever Scotland play a 'numpty' team like the Faroe Islands 7. You happily engage in a conversation about the weather with someone you've never met before 8. Even if you normally hate the Proclaimers, Runrig, Caledonia , Deacon Blue and Big Country, you still love it when you're in a club abroad and they play something Scottish 9. You used to watch Glen Michael's Cavalcade on a Sunday afternoon with his side kick Lamp Paladin 10.. You got Oor Wullie and The Broons annuals at Xmas 11. You can tell where another Scot is from by their accent - "Awright, pal, gonnae gies a wee swatch oa yur Sun ? Cheers, magic pal." Or "Fit ya bin up tae ? Fair few quines in the nicht, eh ?", etc 12. You see cops and hear someone shout 'Errapolis' 13. You have participated in or watched people having a 'square go' 14. You know that when someone asks you what school you went to they only want to know if you are catholic or protestant 15. You have eaten lots and lots of random Scottish food like mince 'n tatties, Tunnock's Caramel Logs, oat cakes, haggis, Cullen skink, Lees Macaroon Bars, etc 16.. A jakey has asked you for money 17. You think nothing of waiting expectantly for your 1p change from a shop keeper 18. You know the right response to 'Ye dancing ?' is 'Y'askin ?' followed by 'Ahm askin' and finally 'Then ahm dancin' 19. Whenever you see sawdust it reminds you of pools of vomit as that's what the jannies used to chuck on it at school 20. You lose all respect for a groom who doesn't wear a kilt 21. You don't do shopping.... You 'go the messages' 22. You're sitting on the train or bus and a drunk man sits next to you telling you a joke - and asking 'Ahm no annoying ye ahm a?' and you respond 'Naw, not at a', yer fine. This is ma stoap, but' 23. You can have an entire phone conversation using only the words 'awright', 'aye' and 'naw' 24. You have experienced peer pressure to have an alcoholic drink when out - regardless of the circumstances 25. You know that ye cannae fling yer pieces oot a 20 storey flat, and that seven hundred hungry weans'll testify tae that. Furthermore you're sure that if it's butter, cheese or jeely, or if the breid is plain or pan, the odds against it reaching earth are 99 tae wan 26. You know that going to a party at a friend's house involves bringing your own drink 27. Your holiday abroad is ruined if you hear there is a heatwave in Scotland while you're away 28. Your national team goes 2-0 up again the Czechs in a qualifier in Prague and your mate says we'll end up losing 3-2 here and you think "Probably" 29. You can properly pronounce McConnochie, Ecclefechan, Milngavie, and Auchtermuchty 30. Your favourite pizza is deep fried and battered from the chippy 31. You're used to 4 seasons in one day 32. You can't pass a chip shop or kebab shop, without drooling, when you're drunk 33. You can fall about drunk without spilling your drink 34. You measure distance in minutes 35. You can understand Rab C Nesbitt and know characters just like them in your own family 36. You go to Saltcoats because you think it's like being at the ocean 37. You can make a whole sentence out of just swear words 38. You know what haggis is made with and still eat it 39. Somebody you know used a football schedule to plan their wedding day date 40. You've been at a wedding where the footie results were read out 41. You aren't surprised to find curries, pizzas, kebabs, Irn Bru, nappies and fags all for sale in one shop 42. Your seaside holiday home has Calor gas under it 43. You know that Irn Bru is an infallible hangover cure 44. You understand all the above and are going to send it to your pals 45. And, finally, you are 100 per cent Scottish if you have ever used these terms - "How's it hingin'?", "clatty", "boggin", "cludgie", "dreich", "bampot", "bawheid", "baw bag" and "dubble nugget".

me too

DJ Supernatural all the way for me topped up with DJ tropical mist (bloody amazing stuff BTW)

Ok.........now I understand why you wouldn't talk about it............ Glad you're still with us

Supposed to a bit - maybe someone who already has one might comment?........

Mad as a box of frogs

That blue really is gross - flat as a fart - we saw one at streetcar scotland last week - such a let down

Nice one - azuuure Wasn't that one on the market in May / June too ?- I'm sure it was one of my short listers edit: Just thought Mike if you bring the Azure on the Hoon we'll have more Azures than anything else

Welcome to the forum Keep looking - you will find 'the one' - you're obviously prepared to go UK wide in your search - which is good - I'm in Fife and I found mine in Essex! It won't be long until you've got the zed face ache

Welcome to the forum Obviously you have to go for an Azure GT - you'll get your kit in no probs- do the right thing you know you want to

Thanks Chris - I had seen that thread - I just prefer the OEM that's all mate

Rich - check this out..........Scotland always was light years ahead of England in terms of education http://www.scotsman.com/literacyinscotland/-Txt-comp-splits-teachers.3285360.jp PS you were thinking in the shower mate?...........men can't do two things at once!

That's due to the fact that you've only recently found out that there's no Santa !! Gary still expects his stocking filled! Anyhoo bah humbug - hate it

i'm sorry but text speak is just lazy, i text people and i still use all the letters. i suppose i hate it more than most as i'm a teacher. my other pet hate is wanna be gangsters, or gangsta, as they say. what make sit funny is i work in woodbridge, and the kids come from a pretty affluent area or are farm kids. so basically as gangster as a tellie tubby I'm quite sad to see such comments from a professional who has the opportunity to communicate effectively with young people! Its not lazy - its just another evolution in language and it will not go away. Txt speak has been used in several education settings in the UK over recent years and has shown significant impact when used in multi-media projects within deprived areas. I can completely understand the worry about dumbing down -and even I have problems with 'gangsta speak' but if it helps to get young people to participate within their community and I'm all for it. However Rich - I completely agree with your observations on the 'tellie tubbies' - its funny to watch middle class kids acting out sometimes - but hey they soon wake up when they hit the real world

You have absolutley nothing to apologise for - thanks for the heads up - information sharing is whole point of the forum

Guys chill the f out ............. each one to their own............live & let live..........can't think of any more cliches........but modding is a very personal thing there is no accounting for personal taste However, one thing is for sure 'txt speak' is zero indication of 'chaviness' - merely a shortcut to expression

Erm.... ..yeah - as I said in my original post - looking for an OEM (as in genuine) tonneau BTW - welcome to the forum

thanks but no thanks
