I enjoyed reading your Scots. Actually an large number of ***bric words
have
been preserved in Scots and English, ***bric is as Scottish as it is
Northern English, and it all helps to stress the uniqueness in Scotland as
a
great Celtic nation. By the way, concerning your <Hic>, is that from
Scotch
or Irish. I prefer Irish Whiskey to Scottish Whisky, but what the hell,
whatever sails your boat over rough seas.
