“People in Scotland drank 25% more alcohol per head of population than individuals in England and Wales.”

Is it wrong that I read this and felt a sense of nationalistic pride?

Short video review of all that is great about Scottish cuisine: Deep-frying. Helpfully subtitled.

The culinary minds in Scottish chip shops that brought your the deep-fried pizza have a new creation. (They can give me American nationality, but since I’m sorely tempted by this, it’s clear they’ll never take away my Scottish heritage)

Excellent advert from Irn-Bru: A staggeringly accurate glimpse into the Scottish psyche.

Fake Steve takes on the Scots: “The real winners in all of this are the phone sales reps who work for Apple in California. Until now they been given the unlucky job of trying to take orders over the phone from Scotland. They’ve never been able to understand what the fuck these miserable Scots are asking for. Have you ever actually talked to a Scottish person? And not one that’s been living in America for a while and has learned to speak English, like Bono”

I need to get myself a t-shirt with a traffic cone on it, clearly.

Who would have thought that having three different voting systems (First past the post, regional list, and STV) on one ballot paper would cause confusion? Gah!

My photos from our Scotland trip, overlaid onto a map of Scotland. Hooray for Flickry goodness.
