Not that my name is Hamish Haggis, but out of interest it only gets a score of 46. Damned immigant.

29, but I was kinda ahead of the game with a surname like "Kelly". Still, the Irish are nearly the same mentality and I'm happy with that.

@MK - Let's face it MK. One of these "foregone conclusion" type affairs really, wasn't it? 10/10 for trying though! :D

mmmmm, very strange. Me and my brothers and sisters all have the same surname, which is Irish, so just looking at the first names is quite surprising. Jean 83, Mary 115, Peter 44, Andrew 73, David 68 and Catherine 130!!

I typed my name in and a message came-up saying I should be King of Scotland. Irn Bru then began to pour from my CD Rom drive while haggis was squeezed out of all my USB ports. I'm not really sure what to make of it all.

A Burns supper, obviously.

If you can get whisky to come out of the async port too, sod waiting till January, we'll be round shortly.
