Nice wee history lesson. Didn't know that up until the 1000 when someone was referred to as a Scot it usually meant they where irish such is scotland and irelands intertwined history....
Larry 7,jjust downloading it now thanks!AlsoI'm not saying it's an all-time great, but if you want a decent recent film then The Nightingale on Netflix is worth a watch. It's harrowing and might illicit some anti-English passion in you, but it's very good.
Andy, "Really" I thought it was a great movie!Den of Thieves. Why don't they just get Americans to play Americans in films? There's plenty of them. There is no need to get some paisley ned to pretend.
Yes, the Scotties came over from Ireland to form Dalriada which then integrated with the indigenous Picts. We really are one nation separated by a sea.

Odessa file awesome read Dill as was the Jackal.Filmed in Oregon, USA
Rugged, beautiful, scenery
Lee Marvin and all the others of his generation, Steve McQueen, Oliver Reed, Richard Harris, Peter O'Toole,Donald Sutherland, Edward Fox, some great performances back in the day
A few old books I read, and then watched the movie:
The Odessa File (Frederick Forsyth)
The Eye of the Needle (Ken Follet)
Day of the Jackal (Frederick Forsyth)
Don;t know if you'll find them online nowadays, but if you like spy and intrigue stuff, they're worth a read/watch

It is so an awful blight on our history. Sadly there are still too many ignorant idiots who still view desperate immigrants in the same way. I am so proud that my wee girl befriended a Syrian refugee in Primary 1 and they are still close friends 4 years later - she can't fathom why people would not show compasdion or empathy to others (ok - she doesn't use those very words).Pity that part of our history was lost on the scots later down the line when the Irish came looking for refuge from the great hunger.
Totally agree about books Tommy. I have just read The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov, the maddest book I have ever read. The Devil and his entourage appear in 1930s Moscow......Jesus and Pontius Pilate end up pals.How about Robert Ludlum, during my days in the Merchant Navy (38 years) books kept you sane and sober.
Solzhenitsyn with "One day in the life of Ivan Desinovich" and Gulag Archipelago.
DILLIGAF, butterfly on a wheel also MR Brooks 2 good movies to pass the night!Seen it years ago, it was ok
DILLIGAF, thank you for this movie gonna download it just now!Watched UNTRACEABLE (2008) last night
Thriller, with Diane Lane in it
Kind of like Silence of the Lambs genre
And DEATH WISH (the new one with Bruce Willis) not as good as Charles Bronson's versions, but worth a watch
Older moves worth watching are The Long Good Friday (Helen Mirren, Bob Hoskins & Pierce Brosnan) my favourite British gangster move (1980)
Then my two all time favourites
The Dirty Dozen & The Great Escape two brilliant casts, and the story lines are great
Grab some popcorn and enjoy

I read an argument put forward by an Ulster Loyalist that the influx of Protestant farmers from Scotland in the 1600s was not an invasion by foreigners, it was an immigrant group (Scots) going back home!!! Like the sevvie song that wants us to go "home". What about those of us who have mixed Scots-Irish- Nordic DNA, where do we go?Yes, the Scotties came over from Ireland to form Dalriada which then integrated with the indigenous Picts. We really are one nation separated by a sea.

Plus, Paisley...Greenock...stands to reasonNo problem Mikeey. Everyone sees the world differently
Its all actually much more complicated than that if you take into consideration the full historyI read an argument put forward by an Ulster Loyalist that the influx of Protestant farmers from Scotland in the 1600s was not an invasion by foreigners, it was an immigrant group (Scots) going back home!!! Like the sevvie song that wants us to go "home". What about those of us who have mixed Scots-Irish- Nordic DNA, where do we go?
