cornerstone Posted May 14, 2006 Report Posted May 14, 2006 You ALL forgot to mention that Scotland won the Kirin Cup!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shhhh....we're trying to keep that up our sleeve as verbal ammunition during the World Cup! @Gunnar: It's Hearts that are the Jam Tarts (rhyming slang)! (They call themselves the Jambos)
Edge Posted May 14, 2006 Report Posted May 14, 2006 @Gunnar: It's Hearts that are the Jam Tarts (rhyming slang)! (They call themselves the Jambos) OH AIMER JAMBOS!!!!!.........(O-amy-jam-bose)
gran Posted May 14, 2006 Author Report Posted May 14, 2006 @Gunnar: It's Hearts that are the Jam Tarts (rhyming slang)! (They call themselves the Jambos) OK! it just sounded like an insult...sorry
Edge Posted May 14, 2006 Report Posted May 14, 2006 OK! it just sounded like an insult...sorry Suppose you would have to be Brittish/Scottish to know that hearts are the Jambos lol. Don't worry bout it there are plenty of folks who don't even know where scotland is neve mind that we have football lol.
cornerstone Posted May 14, 2006 Report Posted May 14, 2006 Quite right - I suspect that half the UK population could not even tell you the name of Edinburgh's two teams. Even the London-based news have little clue about Scottish football - there was a funny moment when one newsreader thought that the Dundee Utd ground was in Italy. "Tannadichi" Come to think of it, in Scotland I think to opposing fans just the fact that you support another team is intrinsically insulting. So you can cuss by just calling them what they call themselves, perhaps sprinkled with 'bastard' at the end to make the point. But then the supporters even tend to adopt the insults - Aberdeen fans sing "we're only sheep shagging bastards" all afternoon. One thing that is a bit unique is that in Edinburgh there is spot on the street where everyone can spit on a Heart of Midlothian. Tends to freak out the tourists! Next time you're in Edinburgh.... Heart of Midlothian on the Royal Mile
Edge Posted May 14, 2006 Report Posted May 14, 2006 The heart of Midlothian is a very impressive piece of street work, right outside St. Giles Cathedral which as far as buildings go is pretty sweet. Chris
cornerstone Posted May 14, 2006 Report Posted May 14, 2006 I think it's pretty cool - and the tradition is nothing to do with the football team! Strictly to do with Love Edinburgh ....but Sydney has its advantages come December!
Edge Posted May 14, 2006 Report Posted May 14, 2006 Love Edinburgh ....but Sydney has its advantages come December! Edinburgh with better weather would IMHO be the best city in the world, it's just fantastic and the history that goes with it is second to none, like the HoM tales and such like. Shame that summer consists of 2 days in June!!
