Autumn is the most colourful time in the whole year, but in different places this season looks differently. Probably most magical and awesome fall you can admire in Scotland.

It is thought that the first quaichs developed from scallop shells which were used as vessels for drinking whiskey by people in the Highlands and Islands. Similar to scallop shells quaichs [...]

Scottish, Irish & Celtic Social Group Join me (and the 575 Singles group) for a Saturday afternoon of Keegans Public House...complemented with a great match of the Premier League - Manchester United versus Everton. The organizer of this event (her name is Lanie) is a big football nut (I hate to use the term soccer, but as an American, I find that I must)... This summer is the World Cup and this is a great primer into "soccer" to get us all started getting ready for the summer matches. Man U has a great team and includes several players from the English National Team (in other words, they are good). Regardless of if you like "soccer", Keegans has a cool Irish-themed pub, good food, and great drinks. Come and enjoy the conversation, the cheering during those couple of goals scored in the 90 minute match. Although I have the time of this meetup posted as 2:15pm right now...it is still a "TBD" on the ManU website. Once the time is confirmed, we'll make this open for RSVPs. If you want to check out the team, click HERE. As I mentioned above, this will be a joint meetup with the 575 Singles group. Everyone is invited though, you don't have to be single. :-) Kennesaw, GA 30152 - USA Saturday, February 20 at 2:15 PM Attending: 1 Details: http://celticculture.meetup.com/8/calendar/12251289/

Jesus Christ. Is it almost 2010? Weren’t we supposed to have flying cars and a female American president by now? Well those predictions were wrong.
