Funny you mention that icniff.

 

My late mum was called "Nessie".

 

In Scotland it is a nickname form of "Agnes". We named our daughter after my mum (unofficially of course, I cant pronounce her Chinese name), but we shorten it to an extension of the first syllable rather than the second.

 

So yes. I claim connection to a "Nessie"

 

She was my mum wink

flipping innovative bunch them Scots, what is your claim to fame?  golf, a great way to get away from the wife for best part of a day, get angry at a little ball and then relax and deal with them frustrations with another Scottish thing, SCOTCH. .....   ... no dummies in Scotland.

Chinese do what? after a hard days work?  oops, there are no hard days work, eye strain maybe, go get a new set of higher power glasses.

ScotsAlan:

My claim to fame?

 

At one time, when I worked in the steel industry, 6% of all steel cast worldwide passed through refractory tubes that I had designed the tools for. And that includes Chinese steel.

 

Amazing really. We all contribute to the world economy. Billions of small cogs spinning away. Some become big cogs, some stay small.

 

I have 3 patents. They wont change the world. Some (w)bankers got rich from the promise of my patents, I was paid a quid for each.

 

But no matter... when my daughter is grown up she can say... "look... my daddy had patents"

The scots invented Whisky.

 

The Irish copied, and under EU law have to call it Whiskey.

OK, I will give Scotland, Scotch....until proven otherwise .....Irish have the best potatoes!

China has more people, Thailand has the best rice. China can and does make more smog.

China makes the funniest misprinted T-shirts ...English Language.

China has some really good bike routes, when not overwhelmed with cars.

China is not aggressive at all, they just want to own you.

 

I like it here in China

ScotsAlan:

So do I :)

Lord_hanson:

You shouldn't ruin scotch with soda. Drink it as it is intended.

it should be against the law to put  soda with a single malt scotch, may your future ancestors all be tea drinkers.
