A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Loretta Lynn carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

Yes I lived one year in Glasgow, so the accent is no problem for me (after the first three pints), then Edinburgh is not very strong.

Scotland is beautiful, and I believe you can still get a Vegetarian haggis in Edinburgh - although I'm not sure about a gluten free one.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Tue. 5/12/15 9:27am Brian in UK:

@Ken just add water. Say three measures of rice, add three and one half measures of water. No butter. Leave it turned on after cooking then give it a good stir and it should come out separate.
Avatar Tue. 5/12/15 9:28am pierre:

@Brian : yeah that's exactly what an guide told me :)
@ Webhamster Henry : you can absolutely still get veggie haggis :)

Avatar Swag For Life Member Tue. 5/12/15 9:30am ausmanx:

people seem to over-complicate rice. just get some salted water on the boil, chuck the rice in when it's boiling and as long as you stir it at the start when you add it to the water, the grains won't stick. don't stir after that while it's cooking. 15 minutes later on a fast boil, it's perfect. i assume the scots deep fry their rice

@ Brian : I like the rain there, I feel like it's part of the land, therefore I don't mind it as much as i do in Paris for example. Also, i've met two kind of Scots, some SNP's, and some that didn't care, they were rather happy, everybody was saying that it was rather historical.

I stumbled across another Cambodian album in the new releases section of the FMU library--I guess it was believed lost but then it reappeared, and they're treating it as "new." I don't think it's that new, though. But it's good--"Psychedelic Cambodia" or something. There's a great version of "House of the Rising Sun" on it.
