• Yes. At least the mad yanks arent on here moaning. (NT) -- On the main board, wanting every World to come to North America when that convention centre in Montreal was a joke. Glasgow every year for me. Best venue by far, facilities right next to venue top class., 21:11:10 03/23/16 Wed
  • That's a complete fabrication. Glasgow has been lovely and that wasn't the point. Leave your whinging about the Yanks over on the other board. (NT) -- enough, 21:16:25 03/24/16 Thu
  • blah blah blah (NT) -- none, 04:16:01 03/30/16 Wed
  • HAHa. YANKS technically are those from the NE USA. Specifically the New England region. Has become a generalization over time. (NT) -- Pitty, 15:50:21 03/30/16 Wed

• lovely to hear 😊 (NT) -- dm, 21:47:46 03/23/16 Wed

• Montreal is in Canada not the USA -- Canada (We are not like mad yanks), 00:16:12 03/24/16 Thu
  • You can tell the difference at majors. Canadians have class, lovely people. (NT) -- The yanks on the other hand? Typical Yanks, that is all I shall say., 23:11:14 03/25/16 Fri
    • And yet "the Yanks" never talk about you all on their Voy boards in this disparaging manner. (NT) -- Yank, 04:21:24 03/30/16 Wed
      • You do have a choice in the type of people you hang out with. (NT) -- USA is a big country with all kinds of people. You sound a bit classless yourself., 18:16:17 03/30/16 Wed
    • wow, I really enjoyed Glasgow, now not so sure, didn't realize there was so much american bitterness (NT) -- USA Mom, 04:21:37 03/30/16 Wed
      • Same. We enjoyed a lovely long visit, in Ireland and Scotland. It puts a real damper on it, seeing how hated we are, by people who haven't even met us. (NT) -- I'm a quiet American, 13:34:59 03/30/16 Wed
    • I don't know, there is good and bad in every country. My dd and I sufferred abuse by a whole group from a Canadian school when we were in Boston. Took 2 seats out of their saved 2 rows of chairs empty for hours and they were at us to get out of them the whole time we sat there. Everyone just needs to get along, it's only dancing, we are meant to enjoy it ! (NT) -- -, 05:35:00 03/30/16 Wed
    • Haha. What an ignorant person on so many counts. Lumping 50 states--yes dear, look it up, 50 across a vast area is worse than saying at Scots are drunks. (NT) -- So ignorant it's hilarious, 22:53:53 03/30/16 Wed
  • Wow, I honestly cannot believe the vitriol. The people my dd and I met in Glasgow, no matter where they were from, but especially the Scots, were nothing but friendly and kind. is this really how you all think of us? TBH we would never paint you all with such a broad brush but take people one at a time, good or bad. Sorry to hear you apparently don't so the same. o (NT) -- Disheartened US mom, 14:50:14 03/30/16 Wed
    • I, too, am shocked by the nasty comments about "Yanks", which (by the way) is an offensive and incorrectly used term. I am always surprised when people clump all Americans together as if we're all the same (and even more surprised when people clump Canadians and Americans together). America is one of the most diverse countries there are- a melting pot of races, religions, cultures, and ideologies. We vary from region to region, state to state, and even town to town. You're insistence in making broad statements about us reflects your lack of knowledge and education. (NT) -- American Southerner, 17:21:30 03/30/16 Wed
      • Same old Yanks, always moaning. Bore off to your own boards and moan. (NT) -- We put up with yous at Worlds, we are not putting up with you on Voy. Goodbye Forever., 13:39:59 04/02/16 Sat
        • What I find interesting on this board is that you all seem to love attacking your own as much or more than you love attacking Americans. (NT) -- Interesting, 16:14:26 04/06/16 Wed
      • Yeah and bomb whichever country suits yous best at any given moment for oil. (NT) -- And vote Trump. Thick planks are the Yanks. And Racists also, put down your guns Momma., 14:05:06 04/02/16 Sat
        • very sad that a parents whose child shares the same passion as my own child would post this. -- us mom, 01:20:56 04/03/16 Sun
        • You are really quite ignorant, aren't you. In a country of 350 million plus, you are going to get all kinds, from racists to communists and so on. Much like your own country, I would imagine. Feel free not to come over to the US if we offend you so much. I am glad we met nothing but friendly and kind people the times we have been over to Scotland. (NT) -- Sad, 16:12:55 04/06/16 Wed

• No way glasgow... Just doesn't seem like worlds this year.. Glasgow can't cope, queuing at doors trying to get in., can't get into hall to see set dances as hall full .. I am from Glasgow .. (NT) -- Glesga Maw, 01:12:31 03/24/16 Thu
  • Why is it so bad this year when there are more halls, when they had it there before there were only 2 halls and it wasn't as bad (NT) -- Doesnt make sense, 13:24:56 03/24/16 Thu
    • Because there are more competitors this time (NT) -- It's all about the money money money, 23:33:45 03/24/16 Thu
    • Its not bad at all, a bit of a mess on day one, but it is absolutely fine now, the main concert hall stage is the best stage for ID in the World. (NT) -- Everyone here is very happy., 00:21:57 03/25/16 Fri
  • Sorry pal, your are talking Billy Wright. (NT) -- Venue has been amazing as usual. Loads of seats, no queues, just loads of people loving that big stage, having fun at the bar and loving the Worlds., 23:06:14 03/25/16 Fri

• Worlds -- Dance mum, 18:18:39 03/25/16 Fri
  • Yes. They would have you thinking they are a big happy family, but the Scottish region and its politics are the worst in the UK. (NT) -- What upset you most? I heard scottish schools were banned from posting pics of dancers before they danced, because OM doesnt like it LOL, 22:43:16 03/25/16 Fri
  • I agree with your point about Scottish regions politics, they are terrible and agree worst in UK, but I don;t get where you are coming from with the favours being done? (NT) -- Would welcome your thoughts though, because it is my opinion that Scottish schools were totally shown up this year, apart from CG achool, who always produce world class dancers. The rest had woeful results., 22:48:51 03/25/16 Fri
  • I was surprised at a lack of team entrants from Scottish schools. And the ones that did were not upto much. Changed days. (NT) -- Seems to be they all just want to be on the committee, to be seen as important. Friends!! Friends!! Feis Friends!!, 22:51:04 03/25/16 Fri
    • Many Scottish teams done well on the Sunday with three globes being won so not sure about this comment -- X, 20:03:49 03/28/16 Mon
  • What schools got favours done for them exactly? (NT) -- Confused, 13:58:20 03/26/16 Sat

• How rude re Scottish dancers -- Dd mum, 00:59:45 03/26/16 Sat
  • No you are wrong. Scotland is poor in my opinion, it is unfair when dancers who have no hope in hell of a recall qualify year after year. (NT) -- The champs in each age group mostly are excellent, but the rest are average plodders. Unfair compared to the talent that struggle to qualify in Ulster, who would recall and possibly get a world medal. But their places are took up with big plodders., 10:21:12 03/26/16 Sat
    • Although the wee CG girl and the two from Edinburgh continue to amaze me with their commitment and hard work. That's how it is done. Amazing achievements. (NT) -- Well done Girls., 10:27:03 03/26/16 Sat
      • The wee CG girl is one of the hardest workers I know and she's also a lovely wee girl. (NT) -- An admirer, 13:49:42 03/26/16 Sat
    • Scotland is a small region, but have excellent dancers. All qualifiers did Scotland proud. Please don't be so negative it gets you no where. Small but fierce with a few waiting to burst through. (NT) -- Watch this space, 10:33:52 03/26/16 Sat
      • It's not any smaller than NE England or NW England. Terrible politics and sucking up asses going on though. (NT) -- Scottish region qualifiers not fair. Too many not upto standard where in Ireland girls are missing out., 13:15:13 03/26/16 Sat
        • I take it that goes for The NE And NW too then? Small numbers with kids qualifying not ready for the big stage?? (NT) -- ???, 13:32:05 03/26/16 Sat
          • Think North East have been brilliant this year, NW as bad as Scotland, but then we all know their politics!! (NT) -- That has ruined that region. Silly, silly games, anyone any good in NW goes to Midlands based schools., 17:19:18 03/26/16 Sat
            • A wee boy from the North West ,transferred to a Midland School, saw him at the Worlds.he didn't dance this year. (NT) -- Mum, 14:03:47 03/28/16 Mon
              • This boy made the right move. Good on him., so much potential, always thought that (NT) -- NW schools are just not good enough!, 16:47:36 03/28/16 Mon
                • Which school has he moved from and gone to? (NT) -- What age group please?, 13:06:16 03/30/16 Wed
                  • Think it was Ben from under 12 age North West, he had a Marie Connell hoodie on at the world. (NT) -- Good luck to him., 15:00:59 03/30/16 Wed
                    • Wow.... That is some trek! Moved from a family member in Southport. (NT) -- Fair play!, 17:49:18 03/30/16 Wed
                      • When will he be out of his ban? (NT) -- Interesting, 20:10:01 03/30/16 Wed
                        • That's going to be awkward at Chrimbo dinner this year lol (NT) -- Good luck to him., 20:35:07 03/30/16 Wed
                          • Wondered why he missed All Scots and Worlds this year. (NT) -- Hope he does well. Good luck wee man x, 20:48:13 03/30/16 Wed
        • ASS = donkey. It's an ARSE! (NT) -- --, 14:26:00 03/30/16 Wed
    • What a load of tripe. If the Ultser girls are that great, they'd be bringing back all the medals, creating more qualifiers for the following worlds as WMHs are skipped over. Each year the Ulster dancers would be bringing back more and more medals and therefore more dancers. No-one misses out. (NT) -- Plus they have Nationals and All Ireland's to qualify at too., 00:52:56 03/30/16 Wed
      • If politics weren't so rife at Ulsters deserving dancers would qualify and bring back medals (NT) -- Happens in all regions Politics destroying ID, 01:12:28 03/30/16 Wed
      • Agree. I'm so tired of the whining coming from Ulster. Not all age groups in Ulster are that strong (not a single medal holder in my dd's age group). Either way, other than the first year, there is no one missing out since they skip WMHs at regionals and nationals. (NT) -- Quit your complaining., 08:46:04 04/02/16 Sat
        • Here, here. Not a single WMH from Ulster in my dd's age group either. Yes, they are strong in some age groups, but other regions are strong in different age groups. So tired of Ulster going on about how unfair it is they don't have more qualifiers. (NT) -- .., 16:39:26 04/11/16 Mon

• There are lots of movement to midlands schools going on. (NT) -- Watch this space!, 21:53:11 03/28/16 Mon

    • Midland Movers from Southern & NW region (NT) -- Midlands make champions!!, 13:15:56 03/30/16 Wed
      • To what Midlands schools? Must say, so impressed with Midlands Region past few years. (NT) -- Carey and Scanlon? NW get what they deserve, that mess of the BN was a disgrace., 15:43:00 03/30/16 Wed
        • We are currently in the NW and seriously considering moving to the Marie Connell School. Really admire their dancers at every feis and the way Marie and Nadine seem so supportive of their dancers. Seems like a lovely close knit school. How many nights a week do they teach in Wolverhampton? (NT) -- Dm, 19:26:22 03/30/16 Wed
          • Wonder if D D will get someone else on board now ? (NT) -- Did the McHale boy not leave DD aswell and set up on his own before Marie left?, 20:26:51 03/30/16 Wed
            • THIS IS FUNNY NOW BECAUSE OF THE NEW MERGER (NT) -- Good predictions, 14:57:18 10/17/16 Mon

            • Does marie Connell have a big class? Heard she has had a few transfers from other schools. (NT) -- Interested, 09:27:38 04/03/16 Sun
              • It's a small supportive school, and all the children who've transfered have improved. -- parent, 18:18:41 04/05/16 Tue
                • Are there many boys? I have a boy and looking for a class with some other boys. (NT) -- London, 20:51:37 04/05/16 Tue
                  • There are a few boys at the school. Marie has taught lots of world champion boys in the past (NT) -- Midlands, 22:15:41 04/05/16 Tue
                    • I haven't seen many boys at feis from this school. (NT) -- They may not have many open champ boys., 08:40:37 04/06/16 Wed

• why are we advertising a midlands school on a scottish voy , who care who does or does not dance there , this is not nw or midlands (NT) -- scots please, 17:19:32 04/06/16 Wed
  • Parochial much? (NT) -- ., 19:38:59 04/06/16 Wed
  • Oh shut up you fool, people can talk about what they want, didn't see you moaning about the Yanks when they were above talking rubbish (NT) -- Any more moves throughout the dance world friends??, 20:12:37 04/06/16 Wed
    • Are the "yanks" really talking rubbish? Or are they defending themselves against insulting comments made by people who think that over three million people can be categorized as the same. Do you personally know any "yanks"? If so, would you all feel comfortable expressing these opinions to their faces? (NT) -- just curious, 21:16:06 04/06/16 Wed
      • No, I avoid them like the plague. (NT) -- Get off your high horse woman., 21:58:35 04/07/16 Thu
        • someone said earlier they didnt release there was so much bitterness in Scotland re Yanks! The scots are bitter full stop!!! doesnt matter who you are!! (NT) -- would'nt mind it. Bitter people, 15:44:30 04/08/16 Fri
          • Release Meeeeee!!! Release Meeeeeee!!!! (NT) -- Crackpot Americans on whinging, do they ever stop?? Deary Me. Go and whinge on your own boards, you 'released' much bitterness yourselves about Worlds Venue, now suck it up you classless American Dimwits., 15:51:56 04/08/16 Fri
            • classy! (NT) -- love the scots!!, 16:39:50 04/08/16 Fri
        • That's what I figured. You don't actually know any Americans. You're opinions really are based on stereotypes rather than actual knowledge. Even though you have been so rude on this board, I will refrain from basing my opinion of Scottish people on you. There are good and bad folks in every group. (NT) -- Proud to be a "Yank", 20:46:33 04/08/16 Fri
          • Good for you. I'm welling up here at your patriotism dear. (NT) -- Crazy Horses Maaam., 20:16:23 04/09/16 Sat
