This year
I had a job earlier this year at ITV, being the token Scot in my department it was left to me to sort the timings and running order of adverts and to get them on screen at the right time.
This meant dealing with obnoxious pricks telling me how to do it right. A pretty shitty job overall.

My beautiful moment though came during Englands first world cup game, being the only one in the office I pressed the button and ran an ad making all the veiwers miss the goal.

/late entry & shit I know but fuck it.

Token Scot?!
Someone's been watching Braveheart again...

Do you honestly perceive yourself as an oppressed minority? I just don't understand the current wave of anti-English sentiment north of the border. There's no genetic difference between us (unlike parts of the Welsh and Irish populations). Most people from England have a Scottish relative and vice-versa - my grandfather was from Aberdeen. Furthermore, we used to be a United Kingdom and a highly successful one.

Now hating the English is becoming a defining characteristic of the Scottish national identity, as if centuries old conflicts – which involved as much Scottish infighting as anything else – have any bearing on your current reality. The irony is that the enmity is one-sided. Scotland does not loom nearly as large in our consciousness as England does in yours.

I wish we had free prescriptions and our own parliament!
