# I played rugby against one of them in Stirling once
him was mince... I am also mince, but if I leave this out of the story it sounds only marginally better.

I've been in Scotland too long to be allowed to converse with real people.

by mince I mean to suggest poor but not gay, as in mincing.

Gleska for "pictures" is "pick-churrs"

And mince does work well better in a west of scotland accent. My accent is adaptable. I'm well spoken when in non-scottish company, due to growing up in the borders, but very glasgow if talking to other scots due to my 8 years in the city.

I'm only half-Scottish and even that half ( my mother ) lost her accent before I was born. I did OK ;)
