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

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,

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!

Hi Everyone

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:

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!!!!????
