Bollocks! The Irish, like the English, have never invented anything of note.

Kilt (Irish/ Danish)
Bollocks! The Irish, like the English, have never invented anything of note.
Actually, the kilt is a Roman thing, though the Irish probably took it up first. A bit like whisky which is yet another thing the Scots pretend they invented.
Tartan is Austrian.
As for the inventions, the only thing Scotland is world class at is lying about them, claiming other peoples citizens for themselves (and dismissing as arrogant anyone else who’d do the same not to mention claiming any Scotsman they don’t approve of is English – see Rangers fans in Manchester) and stealing patents. They think they can get away with talking garbage about them by hiding behind their poor-little-put-upon-butter-wouldn’t-melt-saints-with-nasty-neighbours image. Ever noticed how any good thing about Britain is miraculously all their doing, but anything bad they were dragged into it by the bullying English? Amazing!
As for England, there are few that can compete with us as far as inventions and scientific advances are concerned, and that doesn’t include Scotland.

Couldn't really be bothered to read through the majority of this thread, but let's face it lads, the SPL is poor quality and very boring.
Sadly you seem to be heartfelt in your worthless opinion, I bet you don't have much time for anyone who's not English or ignorant.
Heartfelt??? Mere statement of fact to correct a typically ignorant Scottish insult, surely!!
Is your opinion “worthless” as well? Or is this typical Scottish arrogance? Or bigotry?
Was it “worthless” that you dismissed centuries of globally important English inventions and implied the usual Scottish bollocks that you invented “everything”? Or is that the basis for the accusation – that you know you spouted garbage?
And where was it ignorant, as compared to the ignorance of your boneheaded assertions? Or, again, is this a mere tacit acceptance of the inadequacies of your statements.
Is this where i'm supposed to hurl a load of abuse back?Is this where i'm supposed to hurl a load of abuse back?
Read you own words back to yourself and try and see them as you wrote them, your own petty prejudices are dripping off your keyboard.
It's embarassing.
No, I donât know where you get the idea you were âsupposedâ to reply with abuse, though thatâs what preceded it, but rather with a logical, reasoned response. Not forthcoming, needless to say.
Though I must confess my reply to your first post was under the assumption you were the poster Iâd replied to in the first place â turns out that was Satanâs Evil Claw or whatever his name is!
The SPL is pretty poor quality in all honesty, but how do you conclude it's "boring"? I have no interest in English football really but I would not descibe it as boring just because I don't happen to have any emotion invested in any of the teams.
