Welcome to my talk page! I'll sometimes reply on your talk, but will frequently (increasingly often) reply here.

HainanHey, John. Did you ever decide whether you wanted to put the Hainan Incident article up for FA? It's as good as an FA's we have, better than many, in fact. •Jim62sch• 17:21, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
OK, let me look up the rules for nomming something (I forget these little Misplaced Pages things). Eh, so long as I remember which way to point the claymore, lol. •Jim62sch• 19:04, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
OK, let's both watchlist this . A Scotsman who likes beer? Must be a disappointment to the clan. :) •Jim62sch• 19:18, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
I love tea, but the caffeine effects me rather quickly, so I don't often drink it. Thanks for the link, I was not aware that Scotland ranked higher than the antifreeze-drinking Russ. Eh, it's cool and damp in Scotland, and even though alcohol makes one colder, it makes one feel warmer. Have a drink, it's 10C outside! America only ranked lower because of the plethora of Fundies we have: the rest of us try to make up for it, but don't quite get there. •Jim62sch• 19:47, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
The only Anheuser-Busch product I like is Michelob, and the seasonal Michelob bock beer. I very much like Yuengling's Black and Tan, but two is sufficient. BTW, in California they've moved on to other drugs. :) •Jim62sch• 20:50, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
Yes, black and tan in the version you allude to is yet another feather in the cap of British imperialism. You might want to try mixing some porter with some bitter, it really is quite nice. Getting porter in Philly is a bit hard, unless you go to a specialty shop, but certainly worth it once you find it. Stout is usually served in the better pubs, and there are some good mircobrews at some of them. Ach, now I'm thirsty! •Jim62sch• 16:17, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
Sorry.I'm sorry. I will try and remember this next time. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.0.38.99 (talk) 02:54, 31 March 2009 (UTC) Irish-ScotsHi. Is there any particular reason you chose to remove my edits of the Irish-Scots page? I don't imagine it should be a page solely for mawkish trivia and common sense comment. I see your list of main interests/activities does not include history, politics or sociology (specifically in relation to Scotland, Britain and Ireland), subjects which I am quite interested in and knowledgeable about (up to PhD level). At least provide a reason for any pointless editing.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Reefyj (talk • contribs)
