the scots were out in force at last weekend's lebowskifest:

i'd love to see The Big Lebowski translated into Glaswegian English.

"Donny, you're like a Fanny Bawz who donners into the middle of a movie. Couldnay you shut the fack up ya eedjit?"

I think if that was tried, it would end up looking too much like Trainspotting.  But that's just, like, my opinion, man.

So, is Trainspotting the only Scottish movie then?

The only Scottish movie that easily serves as a Lebowski analogue, unless you would be so kind as to enlighten us bluddy yanks about Scots cinema...

I mean, what other options are there..."Local Hero"? "Breaking The Waves"?  "Brigadoon"?

Could be done in the style of Highlander - There can be only one, dude...

Local Hero, one of my all time faves.

Dario Franchitti, Scottish open wheel racing driver, married to Ashley Judd.

The Italians landed in Scotland as tradesmen, imported to fancy up the place. The randy buggers shagged a lot of lusty scots lasses, and were too tired to make the trip home.

Envious? I guess you are nor Italian neither Scot 
You know, Italians do it better 
Maybe it is just that Italy (especially in the North) and Scotland share common traits, or simply they match well together. Btw if you go to Scotland you'll understand why it's so difficult to leave once there.

Just a little historical humour. Any "envy" is coming from you, GSM. Don't assume that you know anything about my heritage either. If I'm lucky enough, I will visit Scotland someday. Italy too.

Envy? Of what?
Just that "randy buggers" isn't really a compliment, right? And of course I know nothing about heritage either, just a deduction. You know I wouldn't call myself randy bugger, nor lusty scots lasses. But, you know, that's just my opinion. Sherlock Dude 

If you come to Italy you should go to Friuli and Veneto, we are not very good at oat sodas, but no one can beat us with squeezed grapes  And those are the best places in Italy for that, Prosecco, Cabernet, Merlot and so on.

Obviously, you're not a golfer. So don't call yourself randy bugger (I didn't know your name was randy, man) or anything else. You could be a castrati for all I know. You can even call yourself the Dude if you want. So just take it easy man.

"Obviously, you're not a golfer. So don't call yourself randy bugger (I didn't know your name was randy, man) or anything else. You could be a castrati for all I know. You can even call yourself the Dude if you want. So just take it easy man."


Nope, never had the money to play golf. I just looked on the dictionary and found that  the meaning is:

randy = aroused
bugger = bastard
randy bugger = aroused bastard

But if you know of other meanings, that's fine. As I always say English is not my mother tongue so sometimes I understand wrongly. 

Fortunately I still have my pair of testicles, and, I, I take it easy.
Or better, I'm learning to. 

Let's all just take it easy, fellers. Racially I think we're all pretty cool here.

But I thought it was the Spanish armadas who were responsible for the darker among the celts. Like Catherine Zeta Jones and Tom Jones. Are all the darker ones named Jones? Course, they're Welsh. I couldnay think of any Scottish examples.

Dude, the Hispanic Celts and Black Irish are easily the hottest women on earth!
Just don't tell my lady friend I said that...

Bugger=bastard? I did not know that. In my mind it was just a good natured compliment, but if you're looking for it, one can find an insult in anything. I believe the question was about the Italian/Scots connection, and I addressed that. It's cool with me, I'm all for people getting down, sometimes I even like to watch. (while I'm fixing the cable)

Dudes, in the name of the Dude, lets all do a J. Cheers, Greatspiritmonk, I salute the dude in you. Namaste, in the parlance of our times.

I'll start by passing the dutchie pan the left hand side:

Thankee.

I abide 

Maybe I have to change my online translator from wordreference to something else.

Sufidude, sorry but I must correct you a bit, I agree with you but probably the hottest women are the ones from Sicily with eyes and hair darker than crow's pens (?) They squeeze you like a lemon 
But funny there are some people in Sicily over 175 cm with light hair or eyes, probably of Norman heritage, there they've had a lot of people coming, Greeks, Turks, Spanish....
Btw Celts where both in Northern Italy and in Scotland, so it can be we are a kind of far away cousins, or maybe we have a similar way of being, or , if the term is right, we have a similar temper. Well, we are also very similar to Spanish too. Probably because since the Roman Empire we went to a lot of places.

Sometimes we must debate a little to check how good we are at abiding 

But Elbowsky now I'm curious about your heritage.

Namaste: is it a kind of an eastern thing? Just joking, I know its meaning.

And now barman, oat sodas for all. (The Italian way to pacify)

My heritage? White Russian!

Try if you must but nothing will ever be hotter than Jennifer Connelly having her way with Catherine Zeta Jones.
