Well, I guess I'm a new member, so thought it would be good to introduce and stuff. I'm currently living in Scotland (yes, the land of bagpipes and kilts), while undertaking a degree in Behavioural Neuroscience (well, if that doesn't have geek written all over it!). Unfortunately my spousal unit still lives in sunny California (yeah, it's still snowing here, but we get more sunlight), so we search for commonalities to discuss in our daily chats. One thing beyond the routine is the EscapePod episodes we are catching up on (didn't I mention geek?). So, instead of discussing depreciating house prices, we can discuss alternate universes and much rosier futures. At least I can get Dr.Who and Torchwood a few weeks sooner here...no spoilers! (and then there's health care...) Thanks for the stories!!!
Welcome Seeker.
What part of Scotland, and why there?
(See how I'm not making sheep jokes? I think I've grown.)

When I read this last night, I could have sworn that it said where... but 'welcome' either way: your secret is safe with me!
As for sheep jokes, I too have grown; I now only make the sheep jokes about the Welsh, as God intended. ;)

I'm in the small town of St Andrews - lots of golf and pubs - a VERY small town. Why here? 1. Univ. has a good rep. and I can do my Ph.D. on my topic of choice, 2. born in Scotland, but moved to the States when 8, so cool to be back and 3. Why not? (I do like novelty!).
And, besides, the hairy coos are much more interesting that the sheep - ok, probably for different reasons! :)

Yeah, they can't kick backwards, but you have to have either MUCH bigger leggings or a much sturdier fence.

If I thought I knew what I know about what they were talking about, I'd A. need a brainscrub, and B. need a forum bleach.
To new members, please ignore the men behind the madness. And say hi. They usually don't bite (being more the spitting acid to digest outside the body and slurp it up type).

You've left the barn door wide open for this thread to get split-railed off.

Except in Scotland, where it's perfectly cromulent to make sheep jokes about Aberdonians.

Is that why you wear button fly jeans? So they don't hear your "charisma"?

For those who feel "sorry" for the poor little sheep, remember that they are happier in their domesticated state. For truly...
