Msg 31. Would it not be better for us scots to stick together rather than slagging each other off. Im from Edinburgh and dont consider myself to be either a WANKER or an arrogant tosser or whatever the delightful words were that you used.

I know a lot of glaswegians and there is good and bad in Glasgow just like any other place. Most of the 'weegies' I know are friendly people but so are most of the people I know from Edinburgh so I think you may have just been unfortunate OR it could be that you have a massive chip on your shoulder re Edinburgh and its population in fact you cant even say the name in your post, referring to it as 'That place' . Slightly OTT dont you think? after all it has just been voted the best city to live in this year so we cant all be that bad mate.

LOL,
In replie to our English brother's & sister's across the boarder, I am sure that this must be a hard question for you's as you will still be gutted after recent sporting event's & the only reason that you will rember Edinburgh is because it was the place that you's came to & got gubbed at Rugby LOL so please feel free to call us anything that you wish

Ooooh I rather like being known as a Dunedin, it sounds quite posh lol.


Who is resurrecting all these old threads???? I knew this one looked familiar, it was done away last year, lets get thinking of some new ones folks.

According to the honourable Mr Jerry Sadowitz;

If you pour boiling water over someone from Dundee you get a new flavour of Pot Noodle.

I notice with interest that the previous poster after describing Scottish people as "Jocks" , has a dancing cocck in his post which I think sums up the majority of English people very well .
I am from Glasgow and would call people from Edinburgh Eberdonian . Good question OP .

Yet another thread on PoF ruined by the stooopid overuse of these blloody emoticons or whatever the f888k their called. Why Thandor asks do people insist on using them?

Person from Edinburgh =Eberdonian.
