    and your wicked accent. ;P I tried to watch Trainspotting the other day without subtitles - it's bloody impossible! Do you guys know of a secret set of vowels? Care to share with the rest of the world? ;) :-D -- I am perpetual, I keep the country clean.

          Yeah, and all Brad Pitt had to do was mumble his speech during the whole movie.

            I think you are talking about "Snatch". Brad Pitt wasn't in Trainspotting.

              Aye, laddie! :embarassed: Thanks for correcting me, I guess I got those two mixed because because of the Scottish/Irish/British accents. Sorry all for looking dumb.

                A fùcking good movie! Never tried without subtitles, but I believe you. My ears don't catch half the sounds produced by a scottish accent.

                                  Try reading the book - it is written in the same Scottish brogue (almost phonetic!). I have many Glaswegian friends (and hence am quite used to the accent) but I had to read it out loud in places otherwise the words made no sense! I haven't read the sequel, Porno, yet but it's on ma list...

Some will say that what is spoken in Scotland is a dialect of English, others will say it is a language in its own right with dialects (e.g. Doric [as spoken in Aberdeen] verus Lallans [the more traditional form, as spoken in the Scottish Borders]) http://www.lallans.co.uk/[^] --Colin Mackay--

                                          I had a teacher at the university who comes from Scotland. One day at a lecture for programming language course, he drifted off topic (as he often does :rolleyes:), and ended up comparing Swedish and Scottish. According to him, the Scottish language/dialect is partly influenced by nordic languages. Do you know if there is any truth in that? -- I am perpetual, I keep the country clean.
