Shock as Shir Shaun shuns Tartan Week

[sydnie7]

Well, him or Mel Gibson

Honestly, if I was him I'd rather play golf in the Bahamas than deal with that show as well.

It's OK, Zardoz, I "got it" the first time around

And had pretty much the same thought about the Bahamas vs. NYC! No offense to our New Yawkers, but weigh the one against the other and . . . sign me up for the beach. The entire affair sounds either poorly handled or poorly reported (probably both) but I'm also with the "he owes nobody nothing" crew.

[Galician]

Gee, I'd love to do both!

Ah, cripes....who's got Ewan MacGregor's phone number...this year's Scotsman/last year's Scotsman...they can get Alan Cumming, for that matter...y've seen one guy in a kilt, y've seen 'em all, right?

Best

I say, if they want Sean Connery so badly then they ought to move the entire event to the Bahamas! I, for one, would be MUCH more inclined to make the trip and attend in the Bahamas as well. Just another angle on the issue

[Bigkahuna]

Jack Bauer's probably gonna be there. As for New York. I Love New York and I'd still rather be in the Bahamas!!!

Now this is going to sound unlikely but I'm a geek an I gotta be me.

When I think of Scotland the first name that comes to mind is James Doohan

Scotty from ST:TOS.

Good call.

Except that JAmes Doohan is Canadian......

We went through that with Mel Gibson where I said he was from the U.S. The role makes people think of Scotland regardless of the actor's origin.

Just a thought...

The article (linked to in post #1) states that Mr Connery is the unofficial chairman of the event.

Why isn't Hammish the "official" chairman?

Seriously.
