    Aye but Glasgow is derived from Gaelic, Inverness is derived from Gaelic - what **** named everything in Gaelic!???

    BTW have you got any 'Ballys'? Ireland and the Isle of Man are full of Ballys.

    I would imagine our "bal" as in Balmoral is the same as bally?

    Not really,ball,bally etc derives from baile which can mean town,town of or townland but can be regional but not sure if Balmoral applies

    Some bead rattler no doubt.

    If you've ever seen Braveheart, you will have witnessed that not only did the Scots of yore speak English, they also spoke with a peculiar Australian/Scotch twang and hated Jews.

    I'm talking to you now, but was speaking about the other one before. In otherwords, #6942 and #6944 was to Mick the Malteser and #6949 and this one is to you.
