Suffolk shooter Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Most of the great inventer's in the UK histery, was Scottish.

Wow some list, but why if you lot are so clever couldn't you sort out world peace, beat the English or the italians the other night for that matter. Curious now, how come you invented the US Navy and the Chilean Navy Bank of England Clues in the title surely on that one. King Arthur - you scots along with the cornish, french, irish and welsh all claim this one so who is right. None of the above as the bloke is a myth. Artifical diamonds, well scots are too tight to spend the money on real ones. Seems to be a long list of fantasy characters there too, no doubt induced by the advent of whisky and McEwens/tennants extra. Also don't be so touchy, we're only pulling your plonker.

SS King Arthur Despite claims to the contrary, there is a lot of evidence that King Arthur and most of the knights of the Round Table were Scottish. And what was that Questing Beast that Sir Pellinore spent years pursuing - could it be the Loch Ness Monster? US Navy Founded by John Paul Jones, a Scotsman. Read about his exploits in any US history book. Navy of Chile brought to life and success by Thomas, Lord Cochrane, a Scotsman. You can read about his exploits in the book "With Cochrane the Dauntless" by G.A. Henty. Scotland did not invade England because the clans were fighting eachover, but none of them would tolerate the english so they united together. Scotland may have lost the most battles but they won the most important ones and won the war. And Scotland is the only country in the world that has not fully been invaded.

Suffolk shooter Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Sad when people clutch at straws really. Still none of the above explains why the scottish national football team (I believe thats the area this thread was started) can't beat a bunch of pasta eating, faked tanned playboys who can't play attacking football to save their lives. Don't keep living in the past, the present and the future is where its at. SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead-Eyed Duck Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 BRUCE Fuimus There, there Dusty. The problem is that you have missed the whole point of the thread. No one is disputing that the odd Scot has invented things, or had the odd superior brain cell or two. According to the Laws of Random Dispersion you should have had the occasional good 'un. I totally, wholly congratulate you on this. Wot I and most others don't understand is why you have this monumental irrational sense of insecurity that makes you slag off most other nationalities, and English in particular. You really do take paranoia to new levels. Scotland after all is not much different to other countries apart from the glorious highlands and the hordes of vicious midges. I must confess that I have met the odd good humoured Scot - normally in a state of inebriation - just before you get to the fightin' drunk state. However, the phrase 'Dour Scot' unfortunately sums up the national description. I only wish that you could become as well balanced as the rest of us, and recognise that there is such a thing as well-natured banter that should result in a response in kind.

dustyfox Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 your no the only 1. where abouts in scotland you from? Lew I know there are loads of them I live in Dunbartonshire, But my dad and my grandad came from Aberdeen. here's a short story of his life Robert the Bruce (1274 - 1329) King Robert the Bruce, Robert I, known as Robert the Bruce, was the heroic King of Scots who secured Scotland's independence from England. Robert was born on 11 July 1274 into an aristocratic Scottish family. Through his father he was distantly related to the Scottish royal family; his mother had Gaelic antecedents. Bruce's grandfather was one of the claimants to the Scottish throne during a succession dispute in 1290 - 1292. The English king, Edward I, was asked to arbitrate and chose John Balliol to be king. Both Bruce and his father refused to back Balliol and supported Edward I's invasion of Scotland in 1296 to force Balliol to abdicate. Edward then ruled Scotland as a province of England. Bruce then supported William Wallace's uprising against the English. After Wallace was defeated, Bruce's lands were not confiscated and in 1298, Bruce became a guardian of Scotland, with John Comyn, Balliol's nephew and Bruce's greatest rival for the Scottish throne In 1306, Bruce quarrelled with Comyn and stabbed him in a church in Dumfries. He was outlawed by Edward and excommunicated by the Pope. Bruce now proclaimed his right to the throne and on 27 March was crowned king at Scone. The following year, Bruce was deposed by Edward's army and forced to flee. His wife and daughters were imprisoned and three of his brothers executed. Robert spent the winter on the island off the coast of Antrim (Northern Ireland). Returning to Scotland, Robert waged a highly successful guerrilla war against the English. At the Battle of Bannockburn in June 1314, he defeated a much larger English army under Edward II, confirming the re-establishment of an independent Scottish monarchy. Two years later, his brother Edward Bruce was inaugurated as high king of Ireland but was killed in battle in 1318. Even after Bannockburn and the Scottish capture of Berwick in 1318, Edward II refused to give up his claim to the overlordship of Scotland. In 1320, the Scottish earls, barons and the 'community of the realm' sent a letter to Pope John XXII declaring that Robert was their rightful monarch. This was the 'Declaration of Arbroath' and it asserted the antiquity of the Scottish people and their monarchy. Four years later, Robert received papal recognition as king of an independent Scotland. The Franco-Scottish alliance was renewed in the Treaty of Corbeil, by which the Scots were obliged to make war on England should hostilities break out between England and France. In 1327, the English deposed Edward II in favour of his son and peace was made with Scotland. This included a total renunciation of all English claims to superiority over Scotland. Robert died on 7 June 1329. He was buried at Dunfermline. He requested that his heart be taken to the Holy Land, but it only got as far as Spain. It was returned to Scotland and buried in Melrose Abbey. Where abouts in Scotland are you MAC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digger Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 To get this topic back on track, the scottish football team are not very good, although they are very good at being rubbish. Sure sign of a poor loser ( and by hell the scots have had enough experience ) is always finding someone else to blame. It is a shame that humility in defeat is not taught north of the border. Its whether you win or lose its how you play the game. Stick to curling girls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
