Scotland may be on the same island, but Scots are Scottish, not British.

That was something that the Romans discovered  ;)

BTW, the "Picts" never went away.  The Gaelic and Pictish cultures just melded.

The Picts are alive and well today in the blood of Scots all over the world.

Can we now stop obsession over SS's name change?  He isn't the first, nor the last.  He didn't do it to hide from anyone, like some of our membership, so there's no need to point it out.

Maybe I should post a list of everyone who's change their names here and why.

Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,

Isn't that the one they used to call "New Madrid" ?

While you're at it, can you change my name back to fistful? (For those of you playing along at home, theartistformerlyknownasfistful was part of the April Fools avatar changes, not my idea.)

Have you been locked out of making any changes to your profile ?

They can do that ?

After the name switching phenomanon a while back, I beleive the mods made name changing impossible by users and now it can only be done with their aid and by request.

Unless you're fistful, then they just screw around  =D

Oh, to be a mod *sigh*
