[serious] Would you rather be Scottish or Irish? [serious] [serious]

[MikeH]

If you're Irish you can be witty, if your Scottish you have to be dour.

[Japher]

Scottish... so I could say "If it's not scottish, it's crap!" In a believe fashion.

[Felch]

That'll change once people realise a vote for Scotland is a Vote for Oerdin.

[Boris Godunov]

In my experience, Irish have larger penises, but the Scottish tend to be better in the sack overall.

Do the Irish eat anything as disgusting as haggis?

All the Pope-worshipping is a mark against the Irish, though. I'll need some time on this.

Invalid poll

[Elok]

I'm part Scottish. Screw the micks.

[Ben Kenobi]

Scottish, if only because I would sound like Sean Connery.

Uh?

His father was a Roman Catholic of Irish descent with roots in County Wexford.

He's a Mick.

Obviously the best Scots are Irish.

[rah]

Since I'm 1/4 Irish, I'll have to vote Irish because I can't imagine being Scottish. (but for the record, I really have no idea what it means to actually be Irish either ) All I know is the food sucks for both.

[The Mad Monk]

Irish inventions

Chemistry, seismology, the electron, radiotherapy, Kelvin, guided missole, stethoscope, Nickel-zinc battery, hollow needle syringe, High speed photography, Heat exchanger, submarines, photometers, ejector seat, direct steam turbine, catterpiller tracks

Not to mention inventions by people of Irish extraction.

The Irish invented electrons? Do they get royalties?

I'm part Irish, but chose Scot, because nobody gets a better mad on.

[Boris Godunov]

The Scottish definitely have the better accent. There's a reason a high number of badasses in movies/TV have Scottish accents.

The Irish accent is absurd. "Begorah!" What? "They're after me lucky charms!" Ah.

[MOBIUS]

Too slow, mentally retarded man of death row...too slow.

Asher beat you down big time on that one, Reiss...

I do understand how the Welsh were omitted from this poll since you're all far too jealous of my scintillating Welshness to actually admit to wanting to be like me.

Anyway, excepting the fact that Wales would otherwise garner a 100% vote, I have to say that Scotland is clearly > to Ireland virtually across the board.

Indeed, I would even go so far as to say that I have often considered (reasonably seriously) about living in Edinburgh...

So, Wales >= Scotland > Ireland.

[SlowwHand]

Thomas Sean Connery was born in Fountainbridge, Edinburgh

Viagra is made in Ireland.

nuff said.

[SlowwHand]

I'm a regular myth buster today. Made in? Maybe. Discovered in? No.

Sildenafil (compound UK-92,480) was synthesized by a group of pharmaceutical chemists working at Pfizer's Sandwich, Kent, research facility in England. It was initially studied for use in hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina pectoris (a symptom of ischaemic heart disease). The first clinical trials were conducted in Morriston Hospital in Swansea.[1]
