Also, regarding cuisine; haggis is among the best foods in the world (no subjectivity there at all

* I asked one person what they thought for this poll... well I spoke out loud in front of my dog, who thinks I'm mental anyway so no change there.), Lorne sausage is the best thing for a fry up, Aberdeen Angus is one of the best beefs and the seafood is incredible. On top of that, Scotland looks much nicer
Fair play but I'm not conceding on Daniel Craig.
But seriously, owning up to both Broon and Bleugh! I am in awe of your courage.

"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)
