 Are you aware @0xtr that your name is Scottish abbreviation for Arm pit?

 lmao, did not know that. It's going to be akward introducing myself when I go to Scotland😂 
 Unless you like Haggis and midges, I suggest you don't go.

Also, my wife's family live there.

I'm a big fan though. 
 Don't they have great beer and whiskey? I'll pass on the Haggis though 
 You've just made a terrible error. 

In Scotland it is spelled "Whisky", in Ireland it is "Whiskey".

You've just insulted the whole country, you won't be allowed in. 
 Well shiet... That makes everything easier though, now I don't need to introduce myself as "Arm pit" to anyone 
 And don't drive a Mitsubishi Pajero in Spain, you'll be seen as moving around in a Mitsubishi 'Wanker'. 
 That settles it, I'm going to do a Pajero tour in Spain this summer 
 Don't drive the car anywhere near Tossa de Mar! 
 Why is that?
