  1. Iain, that may only be a one line post about YouTube, but it certainly gets my vote for Post of the Month!

    Brilliantly spotted.

    I will, if I may, pass it on to my Scottish pals at every opportunity.

    Mike.

  3. I found this out too the other day, I was working in O’neils and talking to some Scottish lads about a youtube video we’d created and they told me youtube was a Scottish insult. I couldn’t believe them, but now you guys have confirmed it! Awesome.
