What a moron. He won't be missed. Watching the show tonight before I even learned of this faux pas I thought to myself how unbelievably awful he is at acting. Shouldn't have been given the job in the first place.

Without taking away his responsibility for his actions, having watched his apology video, it does raise the question yet again of how balanced our news reporting is. Ok, they can only fit so much into a short segment but still, too often our main news programmes take a very one-sided, overly emotional stance, which seems to be about shock tactics more than balanced reporting. Emotive reporting will provoke highly charged responses. Some f the reporting makes me think of Damian Day from Drop the Dead Donkey!

None of that excuses his attack on an entire people, but it does give me pause for thought.

Wish I had used it against some if the nasty so and so I was describing in my earlier post”

I'm not even scottish and I've heard that expression! It was a Scottish person that mentioned it though.

Bairns does get down as far as my family in Durham.

I wonder who the original one was?

It' s up there with ' away the crow road' for dead - one my Dad still comes out with from time to time!

Yeah, I think there's s quite a lot of overlap culture and language- wise.

Totally OT so my apologies but I remember Kerry in ED talking about the Polis

Sorry for going off topic everyone!

Bairns for child isn't a Southern term. I'. Not even sure it is used in the North West. I think it is confined to the North East, not even down as far as much of Yorkshire.

Being born in the North, bred in the South, I notice a lot of words or expressions which are very common in one regions and unheard of in another. I used to notice it when i'kd say something and be greeted with blank faces and realise that it must be Northern as my family used it all the time but my school friends had no idea what it meant. Still happens sometimes even now.

Sorry, gone very off topic now.

My Mum used to get that a lot I think

Geordie Dad, Mum from Dunblane, spent eight years in London then moved up here

She said all her friends in London thought she sounded Scottish and her pals up here thought she was a Londoner

Not heard that one. Glasgow Crow Road? What does it mean? Kaput?
If Jock Tamson was from there he was probably John Thomson in Kelvinsaide. (and all points north, south, east and west)

I thought a big neb was a rack of lamb that Dev used to make that Fine kebab chunk at his store. But I digest, I found out it is more complicated than that. It's a curse in some situations.
