The Euro

We forgive you.

hmmm speak for yourself!

Oh, yeah, you still mod this place too. 😉

an example mah: the tv was invented by some American... right?

Excuse me while I choke.......*cough*,*cough*. No Yerssot, the T.V was invented by a Scot called John Logie Baird in 1922.

We also invented-
the TELEPHONE
the STEAM ENGINE
the TELEGRAPH
the POSTAGE STAMP
the PNEUMATIC TYRE
the DECIMAL POINT
the FAX MACHINE
the IRON BRIDGE
the MICROWAVE OVEN
TARMAC ROADS
PARAFFIN
the RADAR DEFENCE SYSTEM
the FRIDGE
the VACUUM CLEANER
COLOUR PHOTOGRAPHY
ANTISEPTICS
the STEAM BOAT
the BICYCLE,
WATER PROOF COATS
the FOUNTAIN PEN
Continious Electric Light (LIGHTBULB)
the TELESCOPE

Were also responsible for inventing, creating or discovering PENICILLN,
the U.S NAVY,
the BANK OF ENGLAND,
ANAESTHETICS,
CARBON DIOXIDE,
a CURE for SCURVY,
COLLOID CHEMISTRY,
the first CLONED MAMMAL,
GEOSCIENCES,
HALLOWEEN,
the HISTORICAL NOVEL,
HYPODERMIC SYRINGES,
the KELVIN scale of Tempreture,
the PLANET NEPTUNE,
SOCIOLOGY,
ECONOMICS,
the STEREOTYPE,
the VACCINE against SMALLPOX,
and a lot more that I don't have time to write.

Not bad for a country of only 5 million people.

Yip, he;s roight. Annoyed I didn;t spot yerss saying that.

Though technically you invented RDF rather than Radar, which was an American term.

Back to the Euro - I was dead against this until Sept 11th. Now the idea of being a bigger part of Europe doesn't seem that bad to me.

*Fails to see the connection.*

I'm sorry KJ 🙁
you see, this board is very educatif!

what are you talking about KJ?

I accidently said that America was responsible for inventing the tv, but in fact it were the SCOTS who did that!
Once again, KJ, sorry

Funny how they become Scottish when they do something good and British when the screw up... 😂

and we invented the....eh....words troll, fjord and slalom. yipeee! 🙄

And all pledge alliance to the Union Jack right?

you forgott the paper clip mah and explosive harpoon,The gas turbine (jet engine) (1884)
KJ this is for you
* Television
Erling Øhrn was in 1924 granted a patent for the "transmission of pictures, still as well as moving, without the necessity of putting it on film" from the Norwegian Patent Board. In short, television. He had been working on this idea since 1918 because he wanted to see the persons he talked to over the phone. He called this system "the electric eye" and found that it would be ideal for strengthening his company's security.
So I guess it was not a Scot after all
😎

The Germans can put in an earlier claim than that, Finti.

The fact is, Baird's is by far the strongest.

well he has the patent for it though

maybe but John Logie baerd still invented th box that is the actual television!

And the Dutch invented...... invented...... invented....... errmm...... ah, yes, the Goalkeeper.....😄

..... which doesn't always work. 🙁

and cloggs and Madurodam

It doesn't matter who was working on it, the fact is Baird is credited with inventing it.

There is evidence that a team of Scots and a seperate team of English inventors both flew planes before the Wright Brothers but that doesn't count because the Wright brothers got the patent.

The worlds first powered flight took place in Sommerset, England, 55 years before the Wright brothers but it doesn't count.

Funny how they become Scottish when they do something good and British when the screw up...
