I'll always remember talking to one of our wild northern Celtic relatives in a Hotel bar in Qatar , he was swaying from side to side like an Indian Schooner and trying to impress on me that I was 'callous' and the 'birds' in the' carner' were f***** braw man!!!
It was only later that another scot told me,he was telling me i was gallus - which meant Okay( at least i think that what it means)
90% of his conversation was unintelligible, pretty sure sober wouldn't have made a big difference.
Funny thing was he seemed to be keen on pointing out his closeness with the English, by punching his fist in the air everytime i mentioned the then prime minister - he of wmd fame and sayin' blairie wis a scots boy!'
