I was only kidding Tom and trying to wind you up :-).
I took a lot of stick from the Scots when I lived up there and learn't how to give it out without getting upset. I made a lot of good friends whilst I was up there. I got invited to all the carry oots and the first footings and the Rangers & Falkirk matches and I was the only Englishman. I loved my time up there O(except for the first 6 months whilst I got used to the Glaswegian language)
I just find it quite sad that we can't have a laugh and joke these days wikthout somebody bringing in the PC brigade etc.
Like you but in the oposite direction, love to see the Scots get beaten at Football & Rugby especially if its England.
Where it gets dangerous is when somebody personally insults somebody and means it. Like when offensive Guests post.
I don't really know what Rascism is as such. In my time and travels I have had, Jamaican/West Indian, Indian, Pakistani, Egyptian, German, Scottish, Irish, Welsh, French, American, Dutch (my wife is Dutch :-) ), friends.
The majority through playing cricket, football, squash, badmington. We all gave each other as good as we got, but above all we were friends.
Isn't Racsim the hatred of a Country or nation or group of people?
I might hate somebody becuase they have physically done something towards me etc, but that doesn't mean that I hate the couintry they come from.
I think we are slowly losing our sense of humour and disapearing up our own A******.
Any way just incase, no hatred from me to you Tom, just hopefully good humerous banter. :-)
