Magere Hein 1,400 Posted October 15, 2005 Given the disproportionate preponderance of Scottish members, may I respectfully suggest the following change to the DeathList banner? I'm not so sure aboot the dog, though. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tuber Mirum 125 Posted October 15, 2005 I'm not so sure aboot the dog, though. regards, Hein Deep fried. With salt and brown sauce. Or, if you are Dutch, mayonnaise I suppose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magere Hein 1,400 Posted October 15, 2005 I'm not so sure aboot the dog, though. Deep fried. With salt and brown sauce. Could be ok, if you take off the hat first. Or, if you are Dutch, mayonnaise I suppose. Only with chips. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lady Grendel 139 Posted October 16, 2005 Given the disproportionate preponderance of Scottish members, may I respectfully suggest the following change to the DeathList banner? Perhaps some shortbread would be quite good too. Brilliant!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boudicca 702 Posted October 16, 2005 Great banner! It'd be a shame not to put it to use. St. Andrew's Day is approaching. Perhaps it could be designated "DeathList Talk Like a Scotsman Day". It would it be an interesting exercise in celebrating the linguistic diversity of our Scottish members, and would also give them a good laugh at the pitiful attempts from the rest of us. I have a feeling I am going to regret this.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

May I suggest this site as a reference to help your 'pitiful attempts' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tuber Mirum 125 Posted October 16, 2005 A good idea indeed, but get rid of the dog and replace with the Saltire. And would it be possible to replace GR's top hat with a Tam-O'-Shanter. I tried replacing his head with Robbie Burns' but it looked like crap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drinking a lot and making a fool of myself are too fresh in my memory for it to be nostalgic just yet. Going to Groningen on Friday with Mrs N. for a bit of research.
