Things to bring you back to earth when you start to speak like Denis Law!
Calling all Scots! Calling all Scots!
A few things to bring you back to reality when you start to talk like Denis Law in Australia or if female how about Sheena Easton!
1. Get out yer 'Still Game' DVDs and get tuned in!
2. Remember no tae forget yer auld erse noo that you've goat yer new wan!
3. Dig oot yer auld 'Oor Wullie' and 'Broons' annuals an yer Bay City Roller LPs and huv a good SHANGALANG!
By all means adjust, try and fit in but never lose your 'Mither' tongue and always remember your roots!
If you think of anything fae hame that can bring you back tae reality and keep ye in check in Oz lets hear it!

What is it with the jocks abroad? And especially on the internet??
You never hear the Welsh or Irish talking in some sort of hieroglyphic code or trying to hang on to their mother tongue.
Is it a national identity crisis or something more than that?

I have no idea what this is all about but off putting.
I translate this as:
Remember not to forget your old house now that you've got your new one.
Is that correct? It took a few bits of guess work and some time to decipher it so it is just a bit off putting is what I am trying to say. Maybe the jocks would get more replies to threads if they spoke English?

There is nothing worse than an 'Anglified American Scots' accent ie Denis Law etc and most Scots will back that up!
