I feel like building a wall is a pretty good policy when dealing with angry, shouty neighbors. Especially if they're overly fond of body paint and public nudity. Also, yay history! I'm looking forward to reading your 100 things about it. :)
I would say wall-building is generally an excellent policy when faced with any geographically-related problem. See also: houses, dams, office cubicles etc. (Points to anyone who starts referring to their office cubicle partitions as 'Hadrian's Wall')
I hope I won't disappoint! History can be so hit-and-miss.
I had to chuckle when I read this. I'm Scottish and the image of naked blue Scotsmen just cracks me up :D It is very easy to see why they built the wall!!
This made me giggle! Reminds me of a fancy dress party I went to where someone came dressed as a Scot, complete with blue body paint. Sadly, they'd constructed some kind of loincloth which I felt lost them points.
At least they got in the body paint! I'm so used to seeing something out of Highlander passed off as True Scottish Warrior (I mean, it works, but only for a certain period and a certain level of, uh, creative interpretation) that I'd probably die of shock to see that someone knew about the blue.
Ah, this is the benefit of having a lot of history obsessed friends who may or may not force their boyfriends to dress in something vaguely accurate. :D
TBH, shouting nekkid Scotsmen doesn't sound very far fetched. Given that with the slightest hint of sunlight men here still strip down (to shorts, lest you be worried). And if there's a match on they do like to paint at least their faces. :) And they do shout a lot. Esp on Saturday nights about two in the morning. LOL.

Definitely better without the loincloth, though!
