20 Things Only Scottish People Would Understand

1. Peter Capaldi Will Be The Best Doctor Ever Because He Is Using His Scottish Accent. No Arguments.

Don't even bother arguing that one in Scotland. Give it up. He's a Scottish Doctor, and with any luck won't roll his Rs like Sylvester McCoy did, making him sound like a broken moped. A Scottish person on the telly results in high-fives in the room. A Scottish person actually using their native accent results in a euphoric explosion of party streamers and balloons (David Tennant please hang your head in utmost shame). It's a delight to see YouTube videos of Scots on American news being subtitled because that means somewhere someone's job is to translate Scottish folk talking. But having Capaldi draw breath and become a Time Lord from Glasgow is most wonderful. After the "hilarious" memes of him swearing like Malcolm Tucker have finally died an overdue death, we can start to look forward to a new take on the Doctor, who will hopefully ask an interdimensional ice cream van for a bottle of ginger whilst out for his messages.

The pressure is on, isn't it, to write something meaningful and/or funny in these bio bits. Well, let me think about that. I could probably quote from my favourite film, or book. Or lyric. Instead I shall quote from my hero, Sam Beckett. "Oh boy".
