Hey Dubz, I see that we have a common thing - maybe a Scot and a Turk can go to pub together, right?


I can pretty much guaantee your Kebabs will be better than ours. If you are ever in Dublin gimme a shout we'll go for a pint or twelve.

btw Irish kebabs are fuckin' rotten, it's just kebab with garlic sauce, mingin'

My friend lived in Ireland a few years back. She said she saw enchiladas on the menu. Not that she had much hope that it would be any good but she was desperate for a fix and ordered it.

It had potatoes in it.


Breakfast tacos sometimes have potato in them but an enchilada....that's just wrong.

Everything in Ireland comes with Potatoes, it's the staple diet. Ask Dee she'll confirm.

I knew that but it's just hilarious to me that they have to be included even in a dish from another country.

Hehe, sure I will call you. And if you ever come to Turkey, be my guest for an Efes beer and then Kebab:)

We have a superb recipe for Kebab here. It's called Iskender. Basically, it is sliced-roast meat with yogurt, tomato sauce and hot butter on it. thanks to the guy who invented it!

btw what does "minging" mean?

There is actually a Kebab place on Dame St in Dublin called "Iskanders", that sounds lovely I think I may venture by their on the way home see if they can do me one of those.

*minging* - something that smells bad issues a "ming" or is said to be "mingin'", can also mean dirty, rotten, etc. mostly it just means unpleasant.

Yogurt, tomato sauce and hot butter. I'm having a hard time imagining that.

Well, you should really try it today:) Cause two hours later, I will go out for a one!

And I forgot to mention it: On the plate just below the kebab, there is a special bread -called "pide" - maybe you are calling it "pita"

3. You were forced to do Scottish country dancing every year at high school.


A friend of mine went to a certain school here in Buenos Aires, I think it was an english school haha, and she had to do scottish dancing. She even went to contests.

28. You have heard the following:
You canny fling pieces oot a 20 storey flat,
700 hungry weans'll testify to that,
If its butter, cheese or jelly,
If the breed is plain or pan,
The chances o' it reachin earth,
Are ninety nine tae wan.


40. You go to Saltcoats because you think its abroad.

43. You know someone who planned their wedding around the football fixtures.
44. You have been to a wedding and the football results have been announced in church.



Cheers - i now have the song from 28 stuck in my head!

And I wish people wouldn't come to Saltcoats for their holidays, its neddy enough already without the weegies!

As for 43+44 - when I was a waitress, I worked a wedding where all the tables were named after Celtic players - pure dead brilliant!
