Paranormal Novice
HI,Scottish Doug here.
I HAVE TO GET THIS OFF MY CHEST.
I only recently started to listen to this show....it is now THEE TOP POD CAST ON MY IPOD!
the time,dedication and information provided has allowed me to re-enter my interest in ufology and has allowed me to go online and look over all that has been highlighted.
i was i holiday last week and while sunbathing i listened to the Nancy talbot interview.This proved to me why DAVID and GENE are quite simply the voices of reason in a subject blighted by idiots wanting to make a fast buck and a name for themselves.
i lost interest in ufology as i witnessed the influx of weird and money grabbers in the subject to make money and spout rubbish in convetions.
The subject needed a NEO and MORPHEUS....DAVID AND GENE ARE THEM.
THANK YOU ,THANK YOU ,THANK YOU, SO MUCH FOR THE ENJOYMENT AND THE INFO I HAVE HEARD IN THE LAST 2MONTHS.
I BOW AT THE FEET OF SANITY.
DAVID AND GENE I WISH YOU WERE SCOTS! WE GAVE THE WORLD EVERYTHING.

An abbreviated A-Z of Scottish inventions
  • Anaesthetics
  • Beta-blockers
  • Bicycles
  • Cash credit
  • Colour photography
  • Cotton-reel threads
  • Continuous electric light
  • Criminal finger-printing
  • Decimal points
  • Fax machines
  • Financial services by telephone
  • Fountain pens
  • Electro-magnetism
  • Hollow pipe drainage
  • Hypodermic syringes
  • Insulin
  • Kaleidoscopes
  • Lime cordial
  • Motor insurance
  • Noble gases
  • Paraffin
  • Postage stamps
  • Quinine
  • Radar
  • Reflecting telescopes

  • the banks of england ,scotland and france!
  • All of the above inventions are Scottish. Some of them, without doubt, are major discoveries that have changed the world. Penicillin, for instance, discovered by bacteriologist Sir Alexander Fleming in 1928 has saved more lives than all those lost in all the wars in history. Television has no equal in communicating to and influencing a mass audience – so much so, that during any modern revolution one of the first acts is to take control of the national TV station. And the telephone, which was initially dismissed as having no value as 'there would always be an adequate supply of runners to carry messages in London' has transformed the way the planet communicates like no other invention
  • john paul jones...Born 1747. He established the U.S. Navy.
  • i could go on, but there isnt enough time in the day... and whiskey was invented to stop the SCOTS AND THE IRISH FROM TAKING OVER THE WORLD!
I AM GLAD I EVEN GET REPLIES, OITS NICE TO HAVE INTERACTIONS WITH PEOPLE I HAVE HEARD BEING MENTIONED ON THE SHOW. UNLESS YOU ARE A GUY FROM HOLLAND WHO CAN MAKE CROP CIRCLES AND HAS A FRIEND WHO'S SIRNAME IS TALBOT.WHO TRIPS HER SELF UP ON HER COMMENTS, THEN FEEL FREE TO REPLY! HAHAHA

Scottish Doug, believe me, I would. There is tremendous beauty tucked away in corners of virtually every nation on earth. But there are four places on the globe in particular that I would love to travel to and behold. Germany (home of my ancestors), Scotland (probably take in the entire UK when I was there), Scandinavia, and Russia (yeah, that one may take a few years).

My wife got to go to the UK and march in London when she was in high school. They went to Scotland while there, and she STILL talks about the beauty of Scotland, over 20 years later.

I guess you can tell, and I have absolutely no explanation, but I am intrigued with the northern hemisphere and the cooler climates and those cultures. Maybe it is the time of year and my current location - I live in the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas area and it is going to be about 104 F today. Was 108 F on my back porch last Friday. Sigh.
 
alas,we can only dream of temperatures like that,ah to sit in that heat, sipping a nice drink,slowly getting a tan ,watching the world go by! but then we have -20 winters and great snowboarding and winter mountaineering up here.
