Umm I'm pretty sure that usual, I was responding normally to the post, talked about what I like in Scotland, then Andrew, as usual, responded with a ridiculously snidey and unnecessary comment, so I retaliated and justified my point. You. Retard.
So how does that make me a retard? And i've said to you about using that word. It's extremely derogatory and i'd rather have it kept off the board, thanks

Right maybe if Dave apologises this argument can be forgotten and simmer over

Don't really care what you'd rather have to be perfectly honest. Its not deroatory unless you are directing it TOWARDS someone that could have in, say the 50s, been considered a retard. There are plenty of derogatory terms used widely on this board, and I'm not apologising for the use of one, especially when it suits you so well. I suppose its alright for me to call you retarded rathen than a retard, as you can be mentally retarded, visually retarded, emotionally retarded, and in your case, intellectually retarded. Retard is also derived from a musical dynamic expression meaning to gradually rallentando, and even used in scottish choreography to move backwards. It appears YOU are the one who is automatically taking it for an offensive discriminative sense, I suppose you must use it in this fashion relatively often. *Pauses to hear about how you work with kids 'like that', whilst scrubbing toilets for a living*

Most big cities have the good and bad parts. It's not like it's something new, but that doesn't mean it should hold you back from visiting the city because the city can have a lot to offer.
I know how it feels being from Toronto and people always saying it's bad or dangerous. It's really not as bad as people make it to be.
It's like saying London has nothing to offer for tourists because there have been numerous terrorist threats. That's just silly.
Despite the crime or drug problems the cities' attractions remain as attractions.
- Orkney. You could spend a week there and still be left with things to do. Can't speak highly enough of the people there. Great food, great pubs, steeped in history and quirks.
- Mull. Similar to Orkney
- Glencoe. Stunning Scenery and lots of activities
- St Andrews. For obvious reasons.
- Edinburgh. Even though its the obvious choice.
- Stirling. Castle, Wallace Monument, Blair Drummond safari park.
- Loch Ness, Inverness, Culloden, Drumnadrochit, etc
- Gairloch & Ullapool
- Crieff and surrounding area
- Glasgow
- Aviemore, Loch morlich & Cairngorms
Places I would not recommend:
- Isle of Skye. Barren featureless dump of a place.
- Anywhere in the borders (cept maybe Melrose)
- Ayr.
- Perth
- Aberdeen
- Anywhere north of Inverness.
- Shetland
He only set foot in the British Isles once.... at Prestwick Airport in Scotland while his plane was being refueled during his time in the army. The sad thing about was up until recently the bar in the airport was called Gracelands!!!

I was in Toronto last November, and I really enjoyed it. We were wondering around the not-so-good areas at like 3am, and explored most of the city in the following day and morning, before taking off to Niagara Falls. The people are certainly friendly, and theres a decent amount to do, but is kinda full of expensive tourist traps - luckily we evaded most of the traps and got great deals on the CN tower in conjunction with the falls and some restaurants and stuff :)
Dubz, why are you quoting the side of a pound coin?
I was reading Ian Rankin recently and he mentioned it, seemingly it's one of the motto's of Scotland, so I decide to "borrow" it.
*from earlier*
P.s.(It's the Scottish Motto, it translates as:- No One Wounds me with Impunity, or in Scots:- Wha daur meddle wi me? or in more layman terms Nobody Fucks with me and gets away with it!)
