Since that trip I've watched so much BBC stuff (tons of docs on youtube... love that stuff) I'd probably fare a little better next go around. I'd love to get over there again. My last trip was far too short and rushed. I didn't get to enjoy the experience.

Peterheadian is a language right?

LOL....peterhead.....Who names their city Peterhead?....Might as well call it di....Nevermind

Sorry i know see it's peterheadian...well that makes more sense...

I recall a Brad Pitt movie where he plays some sort of Piker, or some such person, who is a fighter, and when he spoke you could maybe get every seventh or eighth word, and by the way who's idea was it to put 4 consonants in a row for 'eighth'?
