Writing a Scottish script and would like some native input.

Hi, I'm writing a slightly futuristic political thriller that takes place in Scotland. Basically it involves a new Scottish Revolution. I would really like someone to help write this and make sure that we get the life of a modern scot right. As hard as I try I'm sure I'm still using a bit of the media-based stereotypes, which is what I want to avoid. It's not going to be a whole bunch of people wearing kilts and drinking the whole time (there's gonnna be a bit, but not all the time) AOL Instant Messenger would be nice, but just e-mail will work too.

 

ask away.....

whit d'ye need to know?

 

First of all, do you have AIM or any instant messenger program DANK? BTW This is my 1000th post, boo-yah!

 

Oooh, I love being called a native! 'Fraid I don't have MSN any more cos the evil folk who run the university computing labs have blocked us from downloading it...
Paul Johnston's Quintillian Dalrymple books are good futuristic political/crime stories set in Scotland. The first one was Body Politic and I can't remember the other titles just now - d'oh!

 

Dank, you want me to e-mail you the script?

 

do we get to kill English people ? if so, I'm in.

Westford have you thought about using trillian ? click me its a client that accesses yahoo, MSN, AOL, IRC and ICQ. I just use it to access yahoo and MSN where I',m not supposed to

Yes please...

Malkie, you may get to kill us English but there's only one side that comes out the winner

 

Tell that to Blackburn Rovers

 

Celtic. Outplayed for 85 mins by an AVERAGE English side. They'll go out at Ewood.

 

Your overconfidence is yir weakness...

1 - 0

 

...your faith in your teams is yours...

 

if Celtic score in the second leg, Blackburn will require 3 goals to go through

anyone remember the last time a scottish team met an english team in europe ?
