Yep, that's the one. I mean, in Welsh, it looks like every word has been misspelled....

Lose any sleep?

Torquemada

TelBoy

There ya go...

Torquemada

Wouldn't say that spelling mistake makes him/her generally ignorant though, just crap at spelling lose

Klaatu

No, that's the Australians and New Zealanders.

TelBoy

Yeah fair enough, it just seemed ironic within the same thread

Always meant to ask you, is your user id a pun on Groove Armada or something?

Klaatu

Fine malt wiskey?

TelBoy

Whiskey comes from Ireland

What has a thread about Scotlands independence got to do with the Welsh?? I'm English born and moved to Wales last year. Got fed up of living in a sh*thole

Quality spelling, not once but twice!!! Maybe you should learn Welsh, you might find it easier to spell the words........

Torquemada

Indeedy

As for the username, it comes from a character from the 1980's 2000AD comics, specifically a series of stories under the Name Nemesis the Warlock, Torquemada is the arch-nemesis of Nemesis
Sad, but that's where it's from

TelBoy

Jonathan Ross would have known that

Klaatu

That is true however, and AFAIAC, "Whiskey", "Whisky" and "Wiskey" are all interchangeable terms to describe the drink, not the name of the drink and originating country, Ireland (~1100AD when grains were first distilled), Scotland later at about ~1450AD.

So you've not had your house torched yet?

TelBoy

Universally accepted however, that whiskey is Irish, whisky is Scottish. It's the flippin' Yanks who come along and confuse matters, Jack Daniel's Whiskey a case in point, although they're more likely to be of Irish descent i suppose.

bigsinky

And maybe you should learn to punctuate. People in glass houses 'n' all that

Klaatu

That's when they are not shooting their allies or themselves, the latter, of course, I happy to turn a blind eye.

bigsinky

Spuds, ya can't beat the owl spud, when it comes to making fire water. staple diet of the thick Irish paddy for hundreds of years.

I love it when someone replies to a thread about incorrect spelling / grammar, then another guy then corrects his :-)

I’m incredibly bored at work today, so I’m not normally this annoying or opinionated :-)

I’m just tired of reading about how many in Scotland want independence. Well I say give it to them. As long as we keep Wales, mmmmmmmm tremendous roads.......

:-)

Torquemada

Yep, I'm thinking he would, fo' shizzle.

The Pot Noodle Mining Industry of course...

That was before the blight and the Black and Tans, of course.

If you want to talk about contrubution, you may wish to know that only the Eastern, Greater London and South East regions have made a positive contribution to the UK economy in recent years and that, for example, the North East and North West of England combined "cost" the UK more than Scotland does.

In practice it is not England as a whole that is subsidising other parts of the UK, but the most prosperous parts of the UK ‘subsidising’ both the non-English parts of the UK and the rest of England as well.

Of course, if we properly apportion oil revenues by territorial waters, then Scotland has been bankrolling much of England for many, many years.

As Jasey has alluded to, had Scotland gained its independence years ago, we'd be in a considerably better financial position than we are now.

And as for the perpetual slagging off of the kilt, are you what, like, 12 years old?

Klaatu

Oil won't run out, not in my lifetime, not in your lifetime, not in our children's and grandchildren's lifetimes; that is for sure. Only scaremongers say "it will run out soon". Soon, how do you define soon? Just a little fact for you; most capped oil wells still have upto 40% oil reserves. Reason why they are capped off at upto 40%? Too expensive to recover the rest, at the moment. When oil was at US$140 p/brl, it was getting close to the economical cost of recovering the "other post peak oil" oil, that is using current technologies, of course. North sea oil production "peaked" in 2001, expected to be well before that when it came online in the '70's. But the media like to scare, it sells.

Build your wall, the oil will go, by sea, somewhere else.

Geezer

Torquemada in 200AD was named for the Spanish Inquisitor of the same name, who was equally as evil.

It's even sadder that I knew that when I was a lad reading 2000 AD

What was Nemesis's ship called?

Geezer

bigsinky

i was peevish, normally i don't give a ****. however it seems to be Telboy's raison d'etre. dunno why. just one of his little quirks i suppose.

bigsinky

you can make a helluva a lot of poitín in the 250 years before the blight. they then fooked off to america and made it illegally there. ahh the black and tan. many a sibín interrupted by those boys through the years.

hoochydady

hang your heads in shame firstly scots dont wear quilts they wear kilts if you are trying to insult do it properly secondly most if the oil in britain comes from the north sea which is off the coast of scotland and before you start yes i have been to england and the best thing to come from it is the road home lol an this site has went way down hill i dont know who is moderating this site but u lot give scooby net a very bad name now if i was a new subaru owner and came on here looking to join a good club and seen the pish u lot have just typed 3 words would come to mind very fast (full of fannies) now i hope this wont apply to all scooby net users so u little specky spotty lads go back to your safe little corners and keep pulling ur tiny little monkeys over us hunky scots men in our sexy kilts lol

Geezer

That was one of the worst streams of unpunctuated, poorly spelled English I have ever seen. Well done for re-enforcing the Scottish stereotype

If England is so bad, why do you speak it's language (albeit poorly) ?

Geezer

bigsinky

This is a NON-SCOOBY related thread you fool.
