I thought they only played golf and threw huge poles (I could say caber toss, 
but this is more fun) whilst wearing skirts (I could say kilt, but again, this 
is more fun). The rest of the day they spend eating haggis and drinking scotch 
while trying to stay out of the copious amounts rain.

Did you know that golf was probably invented by the Dutch about 800 years 
ago? I live about 5km, as the fish swim, from the, so-called, home of golf. 
Kasper is the man for huge Poles! Some of us wear kilts, only to distinguish 
us from our Southern neighbours. Most of us drink whisky to disguise the 
flavour of haggis. I've been watering the garden every day for the last two 
weeks; did I miss something!

Hold on! Where do these fish of yours swim? If it was invented by the 
Dutch and you live in Scotland, then they must have found a shortcut. 
Or the other possibility might be that 800 years ago the Dutch went to 
Scotland to invent golf, but why would they want to go to Scotland for 
that?

You forgot that spot right underneath your window. We Dutch people 
need that spot for the 800th anniversary of golf. Have some more 
whisky, haggis, or better even, have both!

For someone who is omnipotent and I assume therefore omnifiscent, the answer 
is obvious. They invented the game here, because we have all the best golf 
courses.

Then explain how windmills were invented in the Iran/Irak area, since they don't 
have the best windfarms.

When Ayatollah Khomeni took over Iran, and changed the system laid down by 
the Shahs of Persia, part of his purge was to remove all windfarms. He had 
been misinformed, being told that windfarms were very large farting 
establishments. This, of course, made their windmills redundant, and that is 
when a Dutch tourist and part-time entrepreneur, who was in the area, bought 
them all as a job lot, and shipped them all back to the Netherlands.

That conjures up a great picture! Scottish comedy acts emitting from Danny's 
head. Billy Connolly got a large percentage of his material and ideas from 
Chic Murray, who was a very, dry, droll and exceedingly funny comedian; 
whereas the krankies are a complete embarrassment to our national pride.

That's not how I remember it. Denmark and Portugal are ahead of the Netherlands 
and the US, Germany and Spain also have far more windpower.

Wasn't the little boy/chick named the most Scottish person or something?

I looked up a bit of Chic Murray and the closest thing I can come up with is 
Roger Dangerfield. Chic seems more mellow though.

As I said, that Dutch entrepreneur took them all, but the Netherlands had 
too many, so he sold them on.

Suddenly talking Polish to them totally throws them. I've done that a couple of 
times. Once when some drunk Pole was wrongly parked, once when a sober Pole was 
asking directions and once when a group was blocking the pavement and asked to 
pass. The amazement on their faces is well worth learning 10 Polish words.

I always thought haggis to be the stuff that goes out rather than what

Of course! I'm using the pulley with a hoist to try and raise the level of

It's Aglami! Better start doing something really usefull, such as 
mowing the grass for the upcoming Dutch celebrations of Golf, 
Windmills and Cheese in Scotland.

As the Aglami Linguist you have to help me out on this one. A while 
ago I had this argument with an American. He claimed that a hamburger 
such as the Big Mac is a burger, but when there's chicken meat or 
anything else than beef in it, you suddenly call it a sandwich. Now of
course that is absurd. Do they do that in Britain as well?

Yes, It's really useful Aglami! So, the cat's out of the bag. The golf, 
windmill an cheese (GWAC) fest is out in the open. You do realise, I hope, 
that this could be misconstrued as mid-summer madness.

IMO, hamburgers should have ham on them. The sandwich was named after John 
Montagu, 4th earl of Sandwich, 1718-1792. He also discovered what he called 
The Sandwich islands, later, Hawaii. He once ordered some meat between two 
pieces of bread, and it looks like it might have caught on. THEREFORE, a 
burger is a sandwich, but a sandwich is not necessarily a burger. So, I 
suggest you either send your American buddy to the Sandwich islands for a 
hamburger, or send him to Hamburger for a sandwich.

Nobody mentioned any historic Polish Wars.
Please move along.

Also, since we are talking about Scotland anyway. The other day I was
