Good stuff Ironblood. I meant a bad guy from Northern England rather than Scottish. Otherwise my favourite would be Fat Bastard from Austin Powers III.

I like that - "years active" - makes it sound like they are military rather than actors.

Gotta love Wiki

i. was. joking.

it's just so ridiculous how three different Scottish towns/cities were all clamouring to claim Scotty as their son, and then another town is whinging because the villain (supposedly) comes from their town. it's not real, people!

be grateful your town didn't have a friggin' nutter run around machine-gunning the place or something.

You have said enough don't you think? Or are you too stupid to realise?

*runs and hides*

Was Chopper on about his farts?

Robert Carlyle's character in TWINE wasn't even English. he was some eastern european nutter. and, unlike Connery, Carlyle actually managed a non-Scots accent in the part...
