  • Your just jealous that I have pride in my heritage. Lets face the fact that you are envious of me, my skill, my dashing good looks, my single malt collection, lest we forget about my ability to construct kick ass track bikes.

    I am not sure how old you are pistanator, but my birth certificate says 1966. I started racing the track in 1981-82. Chances are you werent even born yet. I quite possibly have a pair of boots older than you. You keep wanting to "show your ass" as we say here, which is a polite way of saying "your puppydog body cant backup your bulldog mouth". Insulting me, or my heritage isnt the answer.

    As I said earlier, "at the end of the day, i'll still drink beer with you."

    Let it go, your anger/jealousy of me is going to be your downfall, ok kitten?

    You really are a strange one aren't you? FYI I'm 32yo born in Liverpool, 1976. If you I was insulting you then forgive me but you've totally missed the point.
    This all started when I commented on a pic of you in your kilt. The reason I asked and the point I was trying to raise is:
    'what is it with Americans and always claiming to be of another nationality yet actually have no connections to the place at all'
    I wasn't meaning to be smarmy or offensive just curious and if I was honest a bit fed up of listening to Americans giving it 'Oh, my Great Uncle Jimmy had a mate that was from Doneghal so that's why I drink Guinness all the time and dye my hair green!' Or such like...
    I work with a Yank, lovely girl and have a lot of time for her but even she claims to have family from all over the world yet the past 4 generations are all born and bred in the US and she has absolutely no connections to any of the so called places of origin...
    It was just a bit gaulling to see yet another American standing in a kilt as if he'd just stepped off the plane from Glasgow yet you have proved you have absolutely no connection to the place except your Great Grandad was born there! Do me a favour, I have more family currently living in the US than you have ever had living in Scotland but I don't feel the need to walk round with the Stars & Stripes draped over my neck while munching on a hotdog! Rant over! ;-)

    Kisses,

    Graham, International Jetsetter from Liverpool with a bit of South American and funnily enough, Scottish thrown in too!
