do you know how to play the bagpipes ? because i'm planning a trip to scotland this fall and i'm in desperate need of a good welcoming committee, you know. kidding, kidding. what's the most scottish thing about you ? / @limelightlowden

Oh pal, I fucking wish. Tried it a few times, but it's no an easy instrument to play. I know plenty of great pipers, though, so I'll make sure they greet ye whenever ye get off the plane. That's tough. I feel like me ginger beard is pretty Scottish. Me love of mountains, haggis, and tartan. Me stubbornness. Me cracking sense of humour. Hard to narrow it doon.

only thing with that is there no caffiene. with my fourteen hour days that i been having lately i really got to have that caffiene it really keeps me going. i am usually not that fancy either, but i am at the point i am just so sick of coffee.

Sometimes I find the coldness of the drink as refreshing as the caffeine, but maybe that's just me. Sounds like ye might have to dabble in the world of energy drinks. Mix it up a wee bit. I hear the new cherry sakura flavour of Red Bull is alright.

Hiya, handsome. I miss yer face, too. I've also been crazy busy. Havenae stopped since the start of the year, actually. Either I'm the one working, or it's Sersh. So balancing all that has been tough. How are ye doing? What projects ye been working on?

i get you! well, sort of, because i'm not above looking desperate and begging when it comes to the right role, quite possibly. i'm sure too, and honestly, i'll be relieved when they finally announce whoever it is so all the speculation stops. i'm not even in decent shape, and god help whichever trainer had to make that type of transformation. and that would be sweet, you two getting to travel together and work on the same project! especially when distance can be so annoying in this business.

Am no above it either, but an iconic role like Bond, I know they'll go for who they think is the best for it, and if it's no me, I'll live. Definitely other roles I'd beg for, though. Gordon in a remake of The Mighty Ducks? Give that shite to me and naebody else. I'll be relieved, too, because all the folks supposedly in the running willnae be asked about it 20 times every press junket we do. Yeah, we try no to overlap oor schedules too much, because we hate being apart, so if we get to work on the same thing again, that's ideal.

alright, i have to agree with that. i also lowkey love that kids develop her accent whenever they watch it. it makes me die of laughter. what kind of stuff did you grow up with? i can imagine it's vastly different than the shows that air today.

I've heard about that, especially in the US. One of my mate's kids has an American accent, despite having never left England. Funny how kids will pick accents up from all over. Cannae help but wonder what accent oor daughter is gonnae have - Scottish da, Irish maw, mostly living in England. Gonnae be an unusual one for sure. Oh, all sorts. A lot of cartoons especially. Tom and Jerry, Looney Tunes, Scooby Doo. The good stuff.

Are you sure you're not saying that just cause you’re from there? I mean, I kind of get it. Scotland is a beautiful country - one that I do need to visit more often. I knew coming to you for vacation spots would be a smart idea cause Italy is also beautiful. Spent a lot of last year there. I’m not too much of a nature person unless it involves a beach and a cocktail. Hiking and things like that is a no from me.

I might be a wee bit, but every single person I've dragged to Scotland has confirmed it's a gorgeous country. Just saying, pal. Did ye? What for? Italy's got everything - mountains, beaches, history, food. All so good. Aye, good to know. Ye would like Greece, too, then. Especially recommend Corfu, Rhodes, and Crete. Morocco, too. Malta. So many choices. Am a big fan of the Med, can ye tell?

And yer so humble. I mean nobody does walk softly and carry a big stick better than you do babe. I just said that didn't I? Probably the one thing coparenting books tell you not to say to your partner I just blurted it out. That might be the second most proud thing Ill have in my whole life, apart from her just existing. Okay just cause I am use to it doesnt mean I cant still call it out and try to keep you in somewhat of a line, it's a hard job but I am the only one to do it. Established facts.

Aye, the most humble, ye know me. I'm the best human at carrying a big stick, Stella is better at it, though. Ye know I don't really care, ye can call her yours, I know the truth, and I know ye dinnae mean anything by it. Plus she looks just like her da. True, me maw gave up years ago, ye taking up the slack, and I'll stick me tongue oot at ye, too.

do you have any coffee drinks that you can't live with out? i am getting sick of my usual order and i want to try something new.

Wouldnae survive without an iced coffee most days, honestly. But I dinnae go for anything too fancy very often. If I want a treat, it'll be a strawberries and cream frappuccino, that's a game changer. The sort that ye know ye gotta be careful no to have too much of. What's yer usual right now?

So that's how it is? Sick of my face but Taylor gets a free pass. I'll be sure to let Sersh know exactly where your loyalties lie. And before I forget, happy birthday, pal. I hope you've had the best day, been thoroughly spoiled, and received at least a fraction of the love you put out into the world. You're one of the good ones. Look at me being gross.

Aye, sorry, pal, that's just how it is. Ye saying ye no get sick of me face, too? Look me in the eye and say it. Sersh already knows where me loyalties lie, and she's a solid number 2 behind Roen. Thank ye, Sersh definitely treated me, as she always does. Did alright, ending up with somebody so caring and thoughtful. Stop being nice to me, think I was just sick in me mouth.
