"Just my luck"

Today I set my alarm for 8:15 which is early considering I got up at 1 the last few days.

Anyway, I got up early so I could answer door to postman who I knew would be delivering the stuff I bought off the net.

The exact minute my alarm went off he knocked the door... I stumbled out of bed, smashing my leg off the door and I missed him.

Now I'm going to be awake for ages today

Ah well

Ack well. Edinburgh isn't that bad, or most of it anyway. And I put the jock bit in because when I was on MSN with some of the forum people and said I was from Edinburgh for the rest of the conv I was called Jock.

What I should make clear is the second paragraph is general, not directed at AJ

What are you plebbing on about? :D

Basiclly no accent means you sound English.

How do you have a ray of hope? You live in Edinburgh, which is still Scotland, unless it detached in the middle of the night and floated down that stretch of water you call the Forth.

No one calls me Jock - end of story. :D

I don't have ginger hair either, because I giner afro would just look absurd.

:D

Oh well, at least you get a scotch pie and beans for tea AJ.

Again. ;)

I'm in Edinburgh with basically no accent, so I'm OK, plus I have a small, ever-so-small ray of hope. And also, no-one calls me Jock until I tell them I'm Scottish. And I don't have ginger hair (no offence).

Scotland is crap

Edinburgh isn't as bad as Glasgow

Worst place is East Kilbride

I saw a postcard for East Kilbride once... now there is absolutely NOTHING this town has for tourism... and on this postcard was a burn and some trees and the shopping centre.

Bet if you sent it, you'd get it after 8:15 :P

My postman doesn't knock.

He tries to fit things through the letter box and if they don't fit he just baggers off.

I am. Sadly.

Point taken. But Scotland still isn't the worst place you could be, and we're not all poor no-hoper Glaswegians.

You don't have to import Tequila in Mexico, it's already there.
Mexico isn't crinkly. Mexico doesn't have lochs. You don't get a Glasgow Kiss in Mexico. Nor does it have Scottish people.

By this definition Mexico rocks.

Oh no I moan too much

Damn it
