1. "I hate being Scottish. ...
Some people hate the English, but I don't. They're just wankers. We, on the other hand, are colonized by wankers. We can't even pick a decent culture to be colonized by."

4. There's one missing... when they take the train up into the hills...

And they go far a walk. I have been trying to remember it for ages but can't remember it. Is vaguely metaphysical from what I remember.
Mind you it could be that last one....

6. The quote about being Scottish
It fits in so well to a particular attitude about Scottish-English relations, and constitutes a wonderful inversion of that attitude whilst still upholding it.
