Hi Everyone

Hi there everyone,

Am a previous "lurker" who stumbled upon this site about a week ago and have been bigging myself up to actually join and now I've gone and done it.

As you can probably tell from my name I am indeed from Bonnie (though very cold and wet) Scotland. I was drawn to this sight firstly due to the huge amount of discussion areas available to peruse, plus the fact that there are very many interesting people on here from all over the world. I am thouroughly looking forward to joining in with everyone and posting regularly. :yh_smiley

Hello and thanks for the welcome Kensloft :yh_wave,

Am sure I will enjoy it here pretty hooked already, but can someone please tell me how I turn off the bit that notifies me everytime I have a reply to my thread, would be forever grateful if someone could.

Thanks

Hi and Thankyou Lady Cop, Scotland is indeed a beautiful country especially up north in the Highlands which absolutely takes a person's breath away (and not just because of the wind lol) with it's scenery.

Hi and Thankyou also Abbey have done as you said and hopefully that will work now (Tried that earlier but forgot to save the changes :yh_silly) was being driven demented there by the "You've got email message" sounded every coupla minutes so Thankyou again

Hi there BSL,

Do you know i read your name and thought....."I didn't post this".....LOL, For years BonnieScotsLass was my chat name until recently i changed it. Welcome to the garden from a fellow scot, there's a few of us here just buzzin around. It's always sunny here! None of the April showers that start in March and end in July.

Take care,

Bysybee :-6

Hi Busy bee and thanks for the welcome,

sorry I confused you

and didn't mean to nick yer name honest, but we must be two great minds that think alike or we've both got great taste

busybee · Post by **busybee** » Mon Mar 21, 2005 2:35 pm

absolutely!

i'll agree with the great minds. Anyway, i don't mind sharing - that's what friends are for.

Hmmmm, i don't know what part you're from but lol are we related? Or are we scots all predictable we know what the other is thinking - but we are a friendly bunch!

:-6

BonnieScotsLass · Post by **BonnieScotsLass** » Mon Mar 21, 2005 2:52 pm

We certainly are a friendly bunch but don't you find that we get terrible press sometimes busybee? I've heard that all Scot's are tight fisted, mean, drunken redheads lol. I don't know about you but I think Scot's are great people and you often hear people from other Countries declaring in a surprised kinda way that we are the friendlist most generous folk they've met.

PS Do confess to getting a wee bit tiddly now and again right enough :wah:

BabyRider · Post by **BabyRider** » Mon Mar 21, 2005 2:57 pm

Hi Bonnie! Glad you found us! It's a great place, as I'm sure you've seen. Enjoy, and happy posting! :yh_peace

busybee · Post by **busybee** » Mon Mar 21, 2005 2:58 pm

Yes i don't know where folk get the "tight fisted" bit at all, i could never figure it out. There is one thing though..............i would never admit to getting a "wee bit tiddly", no-one celebrates quite like the scots.....lol the stories i could tell - all in the name of fun of course, and good natured fun at that. Who else celebrates when they lose at football!!!!????

BonnieScotsLass · Post by **BonnieScotsLass** » Mon Mar 21, 2005 2:59 pm

Thanks and Hi Baby rider,

glad I've found you too have had a long browse through and it is really interesting will enjoy being here

busybee · Post by **busybee** » Mon Mar 21, 2005 3:00 pm

As an afterthought BSL - i think generally we are well liked across the globe

BonnieScotsLass · Post by **BonnieScotsLass** » Mon Mar 21, 2005 3:15 pm

So right about the footie Busybee who else would get drunk when they loose. Cos we so good natured

We are well liked across the globe because of our good nature aren't we?

I love being Scottish it's fab
