Born and bred on Deeside.

The view from my recent jaunt up in the highlands,think this was the only day it didn't rain.

..... But what I dearly would love to see is this question from the OP answered ...

Tell us why your ass is in Thailand (or want's to be) and your heart is still in Scotland

.

I think it was pretty clear in my post but if something was lost in translation, I am here because I am not as smart as I like to think I am.

Um here cos uh've hud enuff o bein ower there.

Education and job opportunities

That would be the Royal bit

For a country of 5 million odd, there does seems to be a large proportion of members of Scottish decent who have an affinity for Thailand.

Aye well in a couple of years, when we're Independent, you'll need a passport and visa to enter Scotland - and if you think Thai Immigration are a tough bunch, wait until you see what's in store for Sassenachs !!

Cheers for the PM, but I'm not Jock. Still, while the subject is here, it goes a bit further than you might think.

The Scottish are just a mental Irish tribe that decided Ireland wasn't bad enough to live in and went on an away-day across the Irish sea and claimed the highlands as their own.

Whereas any self respecting colonial would like to think they have Scottish blood running through their veins, every jock should be hoping they have Irish blood in them.

Right, that would be the fuse lit then.......................

BTW, it was a Scottish gentleman that educated me on this; an esteemed member of this forum. You know who you are (hope it wasn't just the Leo talking)........

I have Scottish blood on my mothers side..does that count?

Sure ... but just how much blue blood flows in them veins son?

I'll show my hand.

There is some genuine Scots in me. All Aussies can trace back their fatherland.

My Great-Grandfather (fathers side) emigrated to Australia from Scotland.

Me, I'm Irish/Chinese/Koorie decent

My grandad was Romanian, grandma Polish my dad was Irish and my mum is Scottish.

i don't know where I am from but the other kids called me pikey

The Scottish diaspora may be prolific but did you know that one in five people on earth are Chinese? Looking at my family; there's mum and dad so it's not them. Then there's my older brother Colin, then me and my wee sister Xiao Jizhen. But I think it's Colin.

I did a quick whip around a few mates here I know and your name was put forward as being part of that elite club.

Obviously wrong ... I'd take the nomination as a compliment ...

A funny film fae the north east for aah the Doric spikkers, if ye hinna seen it - hae a lauch at this!! http://www.babelgum.com/4007139/one-day

Independence for Scotland and Yorkshire !

Give the English the vote (ie, end of UK) and all the little piggies would be out on their ear. Can't do that, though, might offend someone. With a bit of luck, the sweaties will hang emselves, then you'll see oodles of skirt-wearers milling about the prathet Thai countryside.

Tell us why your ass is in Thailand (or want's to be) and your heart is still in Scotland

Left Scotland when i was 20. Moved to London then all over the UK chasing the money. Settled in London 95. Lived in Oz 98 then NZ 2000 to 2001. It was after leaving NZ that i went to Thailand for the first time in July 2001. After travelling for 1 month. Decided to move there later that year. Stayed in Bangkok for 5 years before heading to Oz as i got my PR. Loved my time there. But its not somewhere i could live forever. My wife is Thai and we have a wee boy who is 8 months old.

I see some of the picts got out, the English/Romans should have built Hadrian's Wall a bit higher

Talking about Tartan in Thailand..........eek has come up with a compelling plan for us to have a traditional Hogmanay do in Chiang Mai. Being eek, and ever gracious, she mentioned it might be difficult for the expat community to get hold of the full regalia for the do, however a bit of tartan should be easy enough done.

So here's the cunning plan........I'll book a place which in my opinion is the best location to see in the Bells at CM, you've all got 5 months notice of the event so you can't say you weren't forewarned

The place can hold about 80-100 people and theblether will front the first 25,000 baht for the do........eek will confirm that contrary to opinion we Scots are not tight with money

Nationality is no barrier you'll be pleased to hear, we'll even let the English in......as long as your wearing a bit of Tartan

So there you go, full regalia if you have it, a wee bit of tartan if you don't. I'll try to get back up to CM during this trip and get it booked, otherwise I'll get one of the Scottish CM contingent to nip in and book it for me over the next couple of months.

I'll start a thread once I have the booking confirmed / nearer the time for declarations of intent to attend...........we CM regulars will be able to point you in the direction of hotels for every budget etc, and of course, if you can spend more time in CM I / we will make sure you get to see the sights of Northern Thailand too.

So ur ye up fur it??? hands up the noo and we'll have a proper crack at it on New Years Eve

( you might even get to see theblether in a kilt, we know how the lady boys love that ).

I see some of the picts got out, the English/Romans should have built Hadrian's Wall a bit higher

We're quite aware that the Romans built the wall to prove to the World that they had cattled the English but couldn't beat the Scots........you really shouldn't remind people about that.

You Geordies were virtually Scots at the time, it was the Treaty of York in 1237 that created the border as we know it now.....amusingly once the Romans had built the wall they realized they would need to look both directions at once as you Geordies are as daft as us
