No smart ass, I meant what I implied. I know the U.K. is made up of what is now Wales, Britain and Scotland. But Scots are still Scots, just as Brits are still Brits.

I used to be like you. Until the Vent server's owner tore me a new asshole for telling him that very same thing. Scots don't like being called Brits.

And that came from a Scot's mouth and was seconded by another Scot on the server. So, yeah. They may be a part of the U.K., but they still retain their nationality. Which I respect. It's not like saying "American and Texan". So... yeah.

Please, stop, you're embarrassing yourself.
As someone who was born in the UK and has lived in the UK for most of his life and who has both English AND Scottish relatives please believe me.
"I know the U.K. is made up of what is now Wales, Britain and Scotland."
Wrong.

The United Kingdom is a unitary state consisting of four countries: England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

Hmmm...
'Britain' is the big island just east of Ireland with England, Wales, and Scotland on it.
Scots don't like being called Brits? Does that mean everyone else from the UK is a 'Brit' and the Scots aren't? No. As someone living in London, but who has lived in Wales and as I said have Scottish relatives, I have almost never heard an English, Scottish or Welsh person refer to themselves as a 'Brit', this is something Americans say a lot and (I think due to the internet) very very occasionally said over here. People might call themselves 'British' but often people will say Scottish, Welsh, or English. You really must be confusing Britain with England.
I don't disagree with Scots wanting to be referred to separately from the rest of Britain, but if you explicitly differentiate one constituent country you can't then refer to another part separately as 'Britian'
If you can prove me wrong I'll eat my desk.

It's a bit confusing, but it's just so so wrong to say "I know the U.K. is made up of what is now Wales, Britain and Scotland."
It's like when you read people referring to 'Wales, England'

Aren't you guys riding his balls a little here? Calm down we're all friends here. Americans call me a Brit whenever I talk to them, it is their way. He was simply pointing out who goes on the server, not defining who has citizenship to where.

I have a cottage in Wales and since the last two weeks have been my easter break from college I decided to go down, hence the lessened posting. Also Morrowind has enticed me once again -_-

Sorry for my contribution to the thread derailment, I wasn't trying to be rude.

I've been tempted to start Oblivion again, but Fallout 3 said "Nay heathen! You like the Fallout series more than Elder Scrolls! RUB MY BACK!" Fallout is mean to me, but he's so fun. Q.Q

Hey guys, we got some Bulgarians on now. One of them speaks English, but it's kind of interesting that we're getting Eastern Europeans now. XD

My Steam name is [PORK]Ace_Dank and yesterday I was playing L4D with some French people who typed in English but spoke in French, one of them kept calling me Ace and talking in English which I understood but then the other one kept shouting "DANK! FOLLOW US!" but he pronounced dank as donk so it took a while before I realised he was talking to me
Sorry, bad story...

Come one and come all! Join the Vent server that's connected to the daily happenings of the [rapper name redacted] BBS! Gossip about Front and Yook's secret plan to take over the world! Or make fun of the new kid on the board.

Warning: Logging on William's Vent will result in "angry Scots, nosebleeds, sex3h times, masturbation and WoW Guilds."

There are many "minor" side-effects of our Vent. SC being one of them. :P
