Some Scots feel British, I don't.

Even if you get independence you'll still be British.

I'll still be from the British Isles, true.

It'll no longer say "Nationality: British Citizen" on my passport.

I'll continue to identify myself as Scottish.

That seems to be your only concern, as any other issues you are asked about are ignored.

I can see a pattern here.

It can be argued that, within the UK, the Scots can lay the most claim to being British. One explanation of the origins of the term 'Britain' or 'British' coming from the Greek 'Pretani' which relates to the practice of the early inhabitants of these islands to tattoo themselves. The last region of the UK to practice cultural tattooing was Scotland. Actually more accurately Pictland. But I will allow you to call yourselves British if you so desire...

Ha ha. That you find it annoying that I am more British than you amuses me intensely...

Yes, that must be it. You are not more British than anyone else born in Britain, you tedious Prict. I'll leave you to see the fallacy of your claim.

So where does the logic break down? At the point where you don't like the implication of it I'd hazard a guess...

It's not a claim but one line of argument. And not one that I initially proposed.

Your claim, argument, proposal, line, whatever.

If only you could answer stuff about independence as quick as you can in your little Pictish fantasy.

He reminds me of Steve the pirate from Dodgeball.

At the point where you think that showing yourself to be the slowest part of Britain to develop makes you more British than everywhere else. That makes no sense whatsoever.

He also seems to think that because the word mean tattooed folks, and the Picts were the last to tattoo themselves, it must refer to them. He seems to forget in his own description there that although the Picts may have been the last, they were not the only ones.

Being VP he just assumes everything boils down to Picts.

Weird.

Tattooing is the indication of cultural optima!

Found this oh how I chuckled So VP where should the new border be placed?

It's a bit imprecise really!

Did you celebrate the 1,328th anniversary of the Battle of Nechtansmere the other day?

I agree, it weeds out the cultural and social underclass and allows the rest of us to identify and avoid.

No more than I celebrate Riever encounters why would some tribal pissing contest between some backward Angles and And equally backward blue folk <picts> matter to me in the 21st century?

Some of us have moved on from Ancient history and live in the present!

OK old-timer!
