Don't Scots join for the fighting?

We've an unwritten rule that we have to be nice to people when we're abroad so that we're distinguishable from other Brits, so once you've fought with everyone in your village/town/city the next step traditionally is soldiering.

It was very calm and peaceful on Arbtalk for a few weeks whilst you and your mate were banned/ gagged/

underwater/on holiday/away from the internet/playing with your new toys/having a rest! (please feel free to delete as appropriate!)

 

Normal service has now resumed, same arguments, insults and keyboard demonstrations of manliness! 

 

I'm sure I'm not the only one who was a bit worried about your wellbeing for a while, but glad to see you're back to your cheerful old self again. 😉

Insults 🤔

None of the above by the way. Calm and peaceful 🤣. No keyboard demonstrations I’m afraid. What I said was fact. Now if that offends you so be it. Like I said to 42 I was there on other threads or topics just couldn’t be arsed to respond to the childish shite I read on occasion.
