By George it is jolly super to see decent folk here, one tires of these scallywags. Tea and crumpets on the lawn Ms Memmia? And a spot of croquet? What! Tally ho!
This sums up all Scots nicely right? -

i like it. as I don't feel as a german (more like a weltenbürger with bavarian background) I have no problems with jokes about germans...I mean, they're a perfect target :wink:
the funny thing about is that almost invariably in the world rural Bavarian-style clothing/dialect is understood or at least often portrayed as typically German in general.
mmh, I agree in certain parts. clothing - japp. mountains - japp. kuckucksuhr - schwarzwald. dialect - mmh, no. mostly germans are portrayed speaking rather a prussian german, yelled like in the military...

Well, there's another summing up of Scottishness: the poet Ewan McTeagle.
summing up the scottishness is for me the scene in the simpsons where willy returns to his parents house. they don't say anything except "AY."

It's no different than any other country being made fun of by stereotypes. If you can't laugh at yourself then who can you laugh at?

Yes

Once when he hurt his arm and couldn't shave. I was traumatised.

Yeah, his second marriage :roll: Not overly sure about men in skirts (Romans aside, that's uber-manly)... definitely not sure about overweight 50+ balding men in them :lol:
