a poke of crisps = a bag of chips, like Waverly's
Waverly's = Lay's
stones = a unit of measure to weigh fat people on 'The Biggest Loser', eg. "she weighs 24 stone, 13 pounds"
NEDs = Non-Educated Delinquints, I have been told they can be recognized by cans of Tennet's and bottles of Buckfast
Buckfast = a carbonated, caffinated wine, "its like drugs"
Indian food = what Scottish people eat
It has been a good week here. On Sunday I went for a drive and found a few castles and went outdoor climbing. Apparently, these areas of boulders and caves are shared by rock climbers (who climb them) and NEDs (who graffiti and smash bottles on them). The two groups did not seem to be very fond of eachother.
Still no internet at the house. Apparently, I need a bank account to get utilities and I need utility bills proving my address to get a bank account. They are very concerned I might be part of an international money laundering scheme.
I can't wait for Stephanie to arrive in 2 weeks. We have just booked our first two weekend excursions. Spain and Paris!!
I have a football (soccer) match (game) on Friday with some guys from work. By showing off my skills I can eliminate of any credibility I may have established in the past 2 weeks.
Lesson 2: Teenage Scottish guys really like me. They all want to know what its like in Miami.
Lesson 3: I need an umbrella.
Dundonald Castle
Dumbarton Castle
There are supposed to be 2 more pictures here, but apparently this website decided to stop working.
