Gaelic is the traditional language here in Scotland - although it's rarely spoken outside of communities rife with incest. Most people speak the Queen's English (if, that is, the Queen has a serious case of Tourette's).- Danny Bhoy, A Visitor's Guide to Scotland

Dull sense of humour
Vote due on link between village of Dull and US town of Boring
In which the most interesting points to note are that
1) the good people of Dull find day-to-day existence so boring (or, indeed, dull) that they count the passage of cyclists through their village; and
2) that Boring is named after a US Civil War veteran, an area of nomenclature - 'Jubiliation T Cornpone', for example - not normally troubled by an excess of boring names. (Cornpone, in case you were wondering, was born in the town of Dogpatch.)
