Scotland - located above England.
Contrary to popular belief that it was England that took over Scotland, it was the other way around. James I of England was originally James VI of Scotland, Mary Queen of Scots son. When Elizabeth I died without an heir, her only living relative, James VI, became King of England, and thus united the two countries.
Scotland has a rich heritage coming from the Picts, the Celts, the Vikings, the Romans etc. Surprisingly to some, not all Scots have ginger hair. In fact, gingers (myself included) are a dying breed.
We have an excellent education system, which is much easier to understand how it works than the English system. Start school aged 4/5, leave aged 17/18 after 7 years at Primary and 6 years at secondary. We have one of the world's best universities, handily located on the East Neuk of Fife in scenic St. Andrew's, which unfortunately is becoming polluted with English toffs who are unnecessarily keen to escape top-up fees and want to go to St. Andrew's. YOU ARE RICH. YOU DON'T NEED TO WORRY ABOUT MONEY!
Excellent football, with the best team in Scotland being Glasgow Celtic Football Club, despite the poor national record, although the ladies side is promising.
Scotland is a very patriotic country, and does not in fact harbour IRA supporters. It also appears as though England and the English are determined to squash our Scottishness, as whenever we do something well, we become British, but English people doing well retain their national identity. An excellent example of this is with Andrew Murray the tennis star from Dunblane who was consistantly referred to as British, yet Henman is English.
The Scottish Government is doing well, after a 300 year absence. Despite the Labour party technically being in power, at least we don't have Tony Blair and the recent loss of a "safe Labour" seat in Dunfermline and East Fife to the Lib Dems shows that Labour is out. Once New Labour are ejected from power, either the Lib Dems or the SNP should gain power. The SNP have very admirable aims, as Scotland's independance is reluctant as if we weren't joined with England, who would there be to fight in Iraq.
Also home to some of the funniest people and great actors and past inventors.

- When an Englishman/woman wins a sporting event, it is an English victory, but when a Scotsman/woman wins a sporting event, it is a British victory. Likewise, we only ever hear of Scots sport failures, or British sport failures, never an English failure. a prime example of selective britishness Scotland the Brave!

Get the scotland mug.Country that's way better than England. Why? Hmmm, where to start..?
-EDUCATION: Scotland has a far better education system, we produce the second highest number of university graduates in the world (second to the United States) and there are no tuition fees, only problem with this is our universities are now crawling with English 'tuition fee refugees'. We should stop letting them in, but then who can blame them for trying, they do, after all have a third rate education system.
-INVENTIVENESS: You name it, chances are we invented it just a few examples are Television, VCR, Telephone, Photocopier, Fax Machine, electric light etc etc. Now what has England invented? Oh, that's right, not a DAMN thing!
-LANDSCAPE: While England boasts flat, featureless terrain Scotland is largely rugged and mountainous, we are the wildlife capital of Europe and have some of the finest scenery found anywhere in the world, not to mention some of the last remaining wilderness areas of Europe. What has England got... other than a geriatric royal family and a mediocre football team?
-FOOD: Now I know English like to turn their nose up at Scottish food and that of many other countries, but what about their own 'cooking'? Liver and onions? Pea soup? Kidney, eel and fish pie? BARF! Hmmm I'll take haggis any day thanks, plus we have great whiskey and awesome beer which, unlike those poncey English fuckers, we don't drink at room temperature
-ACCENTS: Say what you want about our accents but at the end of the day it's a lot better than that creepy-ass paedo-sounding accent most English have.
Scotland:5 England:0
I have really merely scratched the very surface of why Scotland is better but I tire of writing this.
So, slag Scotland all you want, truth of the matter is it's way better than jolly olde England, think you're all just bitter because no one takes you seriously anymore...Pathetic, little wonder.

Get the Scotland mug.Highly Illegal! The act of shining a high powered spotlight into the eyes of an animal (usually deer), causing it to freeze in its tracks. The animal is then ripe for the picking by a hunter with a small, quiet rifle. (like a .22) Obviously done at night, mainly by rednecks from Roseburg, Or. (and Texas, probably.)
My sister wanted to go spotlighting with her friends. It sounded like a euphemism for parking and making out. Turns out she wanted to go look at wolves. Oh well.
