Curiously, I understand them more when I drink with them because:
1) They are big party people. They love to drink and so do I.
2) They love rugby so I guess I can understand them easily, that's the "rugby power" lol
3) You get used to it.

I'm talking about the really thick Scot accents here, and when they start drinking they revert to colloquialisms, like we all do, but with them it's very hard to understand sometimes. I mean, if you've read any of Trainspotting you'll know what I mean.

Oh yeah I met some deep Scottish when I have been to London. It's very hard to understand them but you get used to it somehow even tough you understand less than half of the sentence lol
