What a difference a year makes

What Scots have contributed to the world:

the television and phone amongst other brilliant inventions
penicillin
the technology to produce steel
several Oscars for Mel Gibson
Me

spaniards:
some decent football teams
they took david beckham away from the UK
salou........?

Spanish inventions and contributions

submarines, mops, lolly-pops, Velázquez, Picasso, Goya, Buñuel...

And of course: America

And, no, I'm certainly not including myself

Just because you're not worthy of merit doesn't mean others aren't

Such a shame you don't belong to those others either :P

Obviously decent, witty comebacks aren't something Spain has blessed us with either.

no they aren't, you ignorant Scot. they're a level below

Though I was wrong in my guess too

Jim = owned unless you're taking the piss richard which I believe you may very well be.

Well, for me 2004 was a sucky year. The biggest event in it was that I broke my leg on Valentine's Day and didn't full recover until June. Plus, I had a horrible case of depression and was almost hospitalized for it. I'm still not over it.

Then there was the whole matter of college and health insurance. I reeeeeeeally didn't want to go to college, but no college = no health insurance (and I really need health insurance). Right now I'm a part-time student and I hate every moment of it.

I've written songs for my band, but not as many as the previous year. I despirately am in need of new members (still). I think the only good thing about the band is that my guitarist is improving.

So, that's my cruddy year for you.
