Captain Robert April - You re-ignighted my love of Connelly, but I now find that annoying, as I can't shed myself of his strange sense of logic. Having since re-visited much of his work, he did say, just about exactly, what you mentioned he did. He and Robin Williams, always reminded me of each other, and I have better found out why and how. First of all, it turns out that they were pretty good friends, and not in a 'show business' sense, but more about just hanging out in the garden, and having a chat together. A great similarity is that, of course, and as any good comedian or commenter has, they had a body of work, that they could draw on at any time. It's how they each did so tho, that was the greater similarity. Such spiel, was just a background foundation, to dance on, to spin off of. Other than that, neither of them really had a clue as to what they would do, from show to show, both being 'free form', in essence.

[@dobiebloke9311]

Sorry about the typo. I meant Connolly, not Connelly. Somethings need to remain clear, and I consider that so, as so much else is messed with, and I don't want to add to the problem.

[@kathym8223]

The last one is interesting. There are English channels where they talk about how Americans will just randomly start up conversations with strangers. Maybe we do it, especially here in the south, because so many of our ancestors came from Scotland.

[@zemorph42]

1. So that's where the concept of American exceptionalism came from. Someone just forgot they were talking about Scotland and the rest is history.

[@dobiebloke9311]

Kathy McQuiston - At first, I thought you were talking about the English Channel (with a typo), but then I blinked and now I understand what you're saying. Just for reference, I was born, raised and stll live on LI, NY. I have family and friends from Bangor, Maine to Charelston, South Carolina. Carry over along the Gulf coast, then up to Dallas/Fort Worth and draw a line to West Virginia and then back to NY, and those my stomping grounds. I get around there pretty often, at least a few times a year, all by car or boat. I've never been to Alaska or Hawaii, but otherwise, I have been to each State (I have family in Kansas, Fargo and northern and southern California), more than twice. As well, I am very fond of, and am a frequent visitor to Canada, mostly Montreal, but to Vancouver as well. Standard TL/DR warning. Point being, I have a sense of what you are saying regarding Southern hospitality. I don't know where the line is drawn, but I suspect around the Mason-Dixon line, basically meaning southern Pennsylvania, but there is a difference between northern and southern hospitality. Up north, people tend to be more direct, perhaps seen as rude to some, whereas in the south, things are often a bit more laid back and friendly, but that friendliness can come with a side of bogus, potentially, but not always, as I have experienced it, being occassionaly in a false sense of kindness. That generally won't happen up north. That's the main distinction that I see. In the South, particularly along the coast, you won't often find someone telling you to go F* yourself, whereas up in the North, that's just polite dinner conversation. Weird thing, but if you tell someone in the South to go F* themselves, you might just show up dead in the morning, whereas up North, that probably won't happen. However, if you call the wrong person 'palley - as in a pal, when they're not their pal', it's a mighty big insult up north for such a simple word. Yo, I'm not your Palley, and things can get worse from there. Not that they are necessarily going kill you for it, but it is their option to. I'm kidding, of course, but people do get pissed by it. North and south (USA) are quite direct and friendly, perhaps seen as innapropriately 'familiar', to one from England. I've never been to the EU, so this is all conjecture, but I'm quite sure they aren't so freely talking to to each other on the street or check-out lines in England (or Japan), as we in the States do. As I understand it, the Danes, meaning the Dutch, meaning from Denmark (if I have that right, and I wonder how did they got so many names for themselves), are somewhat similar, particularly in how it's done in the northern USA. Friendly, but very direct. If they don't agree, they won't hesitate to say so, however friendly, where as in the south of the USA, any such issues are generally more delicately danced around, as I've known it. I have found the people in the South very kind and helpful, and in their own way, people in the North are as well. There is a stereotype, particularly of New Yorkers, that they are rude and won't give you the time of day. That is by and large, not true. NY'ers are generally very helpful. It's just that they are often busy, so they may be 'short' about it, which can be seen as rude, but they will help you, Here is the point I came to say. I was in line at a ocal grocery check out (recently) and I struck up a conversation with the woman standing in front of me, that I had never met before. Within the 3 or 4 minutes it took for her to check out, she eventually told me of the cancer struggles she was going thru, the particular Hospital and treatments, and I shared what I knew and wished her luck, probably never to see her again, but I'll remember her, of a casual aquaintence. I suppose things are similar in Scotland. If so, it's interesting how being direct, tends to be a 'northern' trait. Maybe it's because it's cold outside.

As a physicist I can say you missed the biggest thing that Scotland contributed to the world: James Clerk Maxwell. One of the most important figures in physics. He created Maxwell's Equations for Electricity and Magnetism that underpin everything we know about the electromagnetic force, drew the connection between electromagnetism and light, and is basically one of the most monumental accomplishments in physics, right up there with Einstein's Relativity. In fact it is even more important than Einstein in many ways because those equations are essential for basically all electrical engineering. Everything from radio to computers would be impossible without them. He didn't do it ALL by himself (no one does) -- people like Gauss and Faraday contributed to those equations also -- but you can't possibly oversell what an important person he is to nearly all of modern life.

On the last question, I had an amazing thing happen years ago. I was waiting in a queue at the duty-free on a ferry from Calais to Dover. The guy in front of me turned round and asked if I had been on holiday in France and I told him I lived there. So did he. He was going back because his daughter was going to go to school in Dunfermline. I told him that was where my parents lived and gave him the name of the street.

I have never been wetter and colder than pushing thorough chest high salal (an indigenous bush in the Pacific Northwest, sometimes known as shallon or gaultheria) in the rain in the forest off the coast of Washington State. I have got less wet falling in a pond.

[@dobiebloke9311]

Billy Bilodeau - Just to bust your chops a bit, around here, LI, NY, we call that a typical Spring morning, Let's go wallow in it. It's a matter of what your used to and how appropriately dressed you for the weather. I don't really call it 'cold' until it's 14F with a 14 mph wind, with a salt spray in your face. Everything else is just a 'little chilly'. However, I have been in the conditions you describe, a little bit underdressed and froze my ass off. I own about 6 jackets/coats - everything from Spring light to Winter heavy, but they are all waterproof. Whenever I see someone walking around with a jacket or coat that is not waterproof, I shake my head and wonder, do you not expect it to rain today? Do you not think that you might end up on a boat, or near the water? Conversly, I've been at the bow of a boat, -5F, with the sun shining, no humidity, no spray or wind but for what the boat's speed generated, and I've had to peel off a few layers. You just have to dress for the conditions. I know, there are many places colder than mine, but I just don't frequent them.

[@dobiebloke9311]

@@tarmaque - Someone 'liked' my comment to Billy, which re-ignighted the conversation. I never got to say to you, that even tho I have been to Washington State, well more than once, I have never heard the terms 'salal, shallon, or gautheria'. It is amazing to me, the different words used to describe a fairly simple matter. Even tho I am not familiar with the words, I'm pretty sure, I've been in such conditions. Just to say, thanks for the heads up. As well, if you want to further describe such, I'm listening.

Since this is from a year ago I'm not even sure if you'll see it, but as a Canadian with Scottish roots who owns a couple kilts the best way to explain it is when you live in Scotland all you have to do to be reminded of your heritage is look around, but as a Canadian or someone else with roots who's never been able to go to the homeland wearing the kilt is like being able to touch and wear a part a part of our heritage, and plus seeing as they're not commonly seen here, when you are wearing it people will stop you and ask about the heritage and genuinely be interested in learning a few things, only downside is I can't find my family tartan which is Cavers so I wear the Douglas kilt because Cavers is a sect of Douglas.

Your so right about the football. I was caught up in the riots from Celtic park many years ago. Mounted police were trying to protect people at a bus stop at bridgeton cross. An elderly man went down on back of his head to the kerb. I rushed to help him and as I did the mounted policemen went to stop me looked at what I was wearing and let me pass. Another officer tried to stop me but first just said let her be she's probably the safest person here. He then yelled at me ambulance had been requested. The fighting continued but no one attempted to come near me because two giants of men ( my husband and son are both 6'5" so when I say giants I mean they were massive) Best part one wore Celtics colours other Rangers!!!

@@billybilodeau1991 - Not to rain on any parade, but I live in NY and have been to Texas a fair about and I've found the people at both places pretty willing to strike up a random conversation as you mentioned. I've often wondered why? I live in an area that has somewhere between 20 and 50K people within a ten mile radius. It's not exactly rural, as bits of it are, but not overly populated, as in urban. I do meet and see people at the stores that I otherwise don't know, some of whom I see often enough, but many people, I never see again. I was walking into my nearest grocery store the other day and a guy came walking out, in full military fatigues, carrying a bag of groceries. A fair amount of people wear fatiegues around here, mostly kids or duck hunters, but somehow, I knew he was true military, Army, I'm pretty sure. I don't know why, but clearly, he was legit to me. Know, I often give a nod of the head to most people I pass by, if I catch their eye, but we don't get many true Army folks around here, particularly in fatigues, so I said, Good Morning, Sir. He looked me in the eye and said, Thank you, as he passed me by. I called his head around, Sir, and I said, No, it's me to thank you, He smiled and walked away. He was maybe thirty and I'm sure I'm more than twice his age. Another time, about a year ago, I was walking thru the parking lot of a similar local grocery store, and a guy, in civilian clothes, bruskly walked by me, to no offence and he said, By your will, Sir (or words to that effect). We came to be about 30 feet away, both piling in our shoppings to our cars, and I asked, Why did you say that? He explained to me, that in the Military, that is what you say, before you pass an Officer. Alright, then, why me? Clearly he was blowing smoke up my dress, but he said, Well, you carry yourself as an Officer, even if out of Uniform. We both had a laugh, and I learned something. I'll probably never meet him again, but I'd be glad to, either of them. Btw - do you remember the 'Lottery', regarding the draft into the USA Army, for the Vietnam War? My birthday was the last number ever called. In fact, I was in the last group ever to be 'drafted', into the Military, in the USA. They gave me a 4-F, not that I asked for it, but because I had a severe allergy to 'wool', so it wouldn't have worked out well. I volunteered for the Navy, but they said no. I was left to my druthers.

The way I understand things after visiting Scotland in 1999, is that the kilt is like a tuxedo. American people don't wear tuxedos except for formal dress occasions and Scottish people don't wear kilts except for special formal events.

[@dobiebloke9311]

Gwin Willis - Well said, and agreed. The only major difference I can think of between kilts and tuxedos, even here in the States, is that we don't much know how to blow a bagpipe. Let me quickly correct myself, as of course we do, to my great annoyance. Further kidding, but they are loud. This won't be pretty, nor do I pretend it to be, but after 9/11, meaning September of 2001, around here, meaning the outskirts of Manhattan, both Kilts and bagpipes, had good exercise, as they were so often to accompany a funeral. Don't ask me why, but it seems to me, that everyone who died that day, came from my neighborhood, as for at least a year, the funerals (often with bagpipes and Kilts) were a daily occurrence. Stopping traffic, with a tear in eye, occurrence. Basically, every day, for quite a while. I don't know of the Scottish connection, but of the Police and Fireman, at least around Manhattan, it is a big deal. No questions asked, which is probably why I don't know. The point being, Kilts and bagpipes, are not uncommon here. Even I, had the chance to play a bagpipe a few times. Now, I have played a bit of every instrument known to mankind, but I consider the bagpipes, to be the 'platypus', of them all.

In Canada I've experienced every type of cold and moisture condition there is, yes moisture goes through everything and everything that is a good moisture barrier makes you sweat which defeats the whole thing, but the temperatures you might experience on the prairie or in the Territories can freeze your skin in seconds. I've frozen my cheeks and ears many times, the trouble is that once they've been frozen once they freeze easier succeeding times. Once as a small boy I was hunting on Vancouver Island with my father, it was not more than -5 and my hands turned blue and swelled up. Hypothermia usually gets people when it's just cold enough to make you shiver a bit. The weather deceived you into not bringing that extra sweater and when conditions changed it caught you. When it's really cold in Canada you can become a solid frozen block. I've also has my eyes and nostrils freeze shut when it was around -15 F with a weird moisture from lake effect weather. You actually had such conditions in Scotland centuries ago.

[@waynestewart1919]

Agreed, in Alabama, its extremely humid and when its 40°F (approx. 4°C) or below, its miserable. And a side note, seasons are fairly arbitrary in Alabama, the weather here does whatever it pleases, whenever it wants.

[@diarradunlap9337]

Actually, I think that is true if the weather in MOST of the middle 50% of the continent (from southern Canada to Northern Mexico). I know it's been true of every place I have lived in.

[@PJAvenger]

A young lass was sitting on a train, when a proper laddie in a kilt took the seat next. Sheepishly the young lass asked "What's under yer kilt?" "oh, you'll have to feel for yourself" answers the lad. "well, ok" she says and then "Oh! it's gruesome! Gruesome!" "and what else"? asks the laddie "oooo! It's grew some more!"

Ofcourse Burns night is a big thing, Robert Burns is after all one of the greatest poets of all time.

[@sylviaesposito4757]

I’m related to him on my Mother’s side. I was born in Scotland but came to America when I was two.

[@ferallumberjack4310]

I tried to like the bru but I just couldn't... It tasted like orange cough syrup but I also was at a Scottish highland games and it was like 90 degrees out and the soda wasn't cold. So I'd be willing to give it a chance cold.

[@bierce716]

There's a weather phenomenon we have every few years here in the Midwest of America called an Ice Storm. This happens when the air at ground level is way below freezing, but at high altitudes it's just warm enough to rain, so what happens is that everything gets coated in ice, like the whole world was a glazed doughnut. Does that every happen in Scotland?

[@truckerdaddy-akajohninqueb4793]

I'm told the not wearing underwear was a WWI thing where the soldiers took off their drawers and shaved to get rid of lice. As a kilt wearer, of course I wear drawers. It's only sanitary and saves a fortune on dry cleaning if you have an expensive kilt. And some wool can be quite scratchy. Haha.

[@melissasmith2568]

I love this. Will likely be marrying my Scotsman, and most are TRUE! 1. There is nowhere like Scotland. 2. He is defo the funniest person he knows 3. He is a musician, so of course Scottish music is the best. 4. Ironbru (blech) he will seek far and wide 5. He is a West Highlander and loves any event he can wear his kilt. 5. Do NOT disrupt any football. Especially Rangers or Celtics. 5. We fight over the temperature bc I’m weak. 6. Hogmanay is the MOST important day of the year, then Burns. 7. We both know the bar and the staff within 10 mins bc we will talk to anyone. 8. Our nights are based on whiskey not so much Ironbru. 9. Do not take most things seriously. The love to joyfully “poke the bear” or pick a fight for fun is real.

Tammy, knowing that you're not really a drinker, are you able to advise on ways to use Irn Bru as a mixer? e.g. Rum and Coke, Seagrams and 7-up, etc.

It’s not really a great mixer, though some folk add it to vodka or gin, it is however a common hangover cure.

Dating a Scot and currently living in Scotland, so let's see... 1 - Not very noticable unless the English are involved. But I will go along with that, of course 2 - It's either hilarious, or hilarious because I don't understand a thing. :) 3 - My bf barely drinks it... me on the other hand, I love it! (Look at me integrating :3 ) 4 - My bf actually has had deep fried mars bar. I haven't had the pleasure to try it out yet. 5 - Probably, but I don't remember all the names that have been mentioned to me, so who knows. 6 - So far we still had other topics to talk about... I think covid has everyone covered in that regard. 7 - Well, obviously. 8 - I don't give a shit about football and it has all been restrictions, but the English are involved, so Im inclined to agree. 9 - I guess I learned about this just in time. Not that we can do anything social, though... 10 - Good thing Im now living in Scotland, because I like to complain about being cold. 11 - If it is a festival... probably. 12 - I still dont understand either of the educational systems... I do understand how it works at Hogwarts though... have to admit that helped a bit. 13 - If only that had been allowed... 14 - Once again, covid restrictions haven't really allowed me to meet random people. But probably, yes.

[@victorvalenzuela4756]

Hello there!

[@peterjamesfoote3964]

Thanks for posting this we missed you. Thanks also for mentioning the US and Canada on the cold front (see what I did there?) I’m from Chicago and I very clearly remember a day when the wind chill factor was -90 F. Now that’s a lifetime extreme, but still. Chicago can be very cold. It has no temperature warming from an ocean. But there are colder places than here. Always fun after a break to reacquaint my ears to your dialect of English. Ok. Here’s the essential question and is extremely important. What do Deep Fried Mars bars in Scotland made of? Are they US Mars bars or was the article talking about Mars bars in Scotland which might well be what we call Milky Way bars. Live your hamster wrapping idea. And if the wrapping paper is non-metallic the paper can be chewed up for nesting material. I admit to having a seat next to my 7th grade hamster tank and being a co-conspirator in feeding it sheets of notebook paper every day. The hamster loved it! Our 7th grade teacher not so much. I had a friend who spent 9 months in Japan and I can well believe that let’s call it Celtic open and friendly behavior would not go over so well, except during Karaoke performances... I’m also 6’2” tall and I’m sure that would have brought stares anywhere there. Bye!

[@dalebeals5321]

If you want to find another really friendly place to visit, come to Minnesota.

[@dobiebloke9311]

Dale Beals - Nothing wrong with Minnistoa, or even Wisconscon, as when I vist one, I tend to visit the other. Good people, good times, but hard times, and I know it has been so for a while now. The whole region seems to be almost forgotten. When you think of it tho, there is the East Coast, there is the West Coast, but then there is the Mid-Coast, meaning of the Lakes and St. Lawrence, amongst others. I don't forget there. Not to mention, all the history and signifigance. It seems to be the red-headed step child of the USA, but I don't forget.

[@whiskeyvictor5703]

You might want to avoid Minneapolis. I lived there for nearly ten years and rarely heard English there. Nowadays, you may want to learn a bit of Tigrinya or Somali first, otherwise the locals won't understand you much. Outside of the city, people are comprehensible and indeed nicer. I found out the hard way that it's not exactly like The Prairie Home Companion!

[@JubeiKibagamiFez]

Are MARS Bars popular in Scotland on their own??? I'm in New York and I don't think I ever even seen a MARS Bar before, but, disgustingly, for some reason, americans love deep fried candy bars, mainly snickers bars.

The fried Mars bar is probably more of an Irish thing. XD

I don't think so... it's just not often done in Scotland. It's there, though. The Irish don't deep-fry as much as Scots do.

So when do we get a “how to date Scottish women” video and do all Scottish women look like Karen Gillan? I’m with you when talking in line. It’s a fun way to pass the time or share the pain of the wait. And here’s the quickest way to spot a native of Scotland; you call him Robbie. Many years of English classes and he was always Robert Burns, but every Scotsman calls him Robbie. Looking forward to next weekend’s video.
