Hmm. I have to admit that I never knew that "Scots" and Gaelic were seperate languages. Or that there were even two languages in Scotland. I'm now curious to know which one is meant when someone says they speak "Scottish".
And Cornish is actually a more uselss langauge than Welsh. Amazing.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

I'm amazed that you wrote that entire paragraph about the uselessness of Welsh w/o actually insulting (directly, or indirectly, really) the Welsh themselves. Normally, I would expect them to get insulted even if there weren't an obvious opportunity presenting itself.
As for "Scottish", I'm guessing that's the language Scotty spoke. English, but w/ a lot of "och!"s and "cannae"s thrown in.

And who the "fuck" would have thought that some people here are so screwed-up that they feel the need to show up one evening and put on the whole "peer pressure terrifies me" act?

Too easy a target. Besides, it's not like any of them could ever read it. Using the electric internet is a crime against the great sheep god Alan, and all who use it are butchered in a horrible and icky manner.

Hmm. I know you are probably joking, but no. That's a dialect or accent certainly (in the same way that some northern types say "aye" instead of "yes"), but it's not a language, and usually when I've heard people say "Scottish", they seem to be talking about an other language.

Well, considering that you are putting in half as much per head as us and Canada, why would you be any different if China puts more in?

No it "fuck"ing well isn't. We can use it to insult stupid, arrogant English people.

There we go. That's more like what I was expecting...
"I know you are probably joking..."
Brilliant deduction, Holmes!
