[cite]Posted By: Leroy Ambrose[/cite]F***ing s***hole. Every time I come to this godforsaken place it's p***ing down, freezing cold and windy. Dump.
I was up there for work yesterday, bloody freezing/snowing, flew in first thing in the morning from Stanstead and it was only when we landed that we realised we were at Prestwick airport and not the other one !!, that'll teach me to take a closer look at the booking...........£65 in a cab (and 45 mins) later we were at our meeting.
Train back to Prestwick after cost £3.50 for the flight back in the afternoon.....did pass some fantastic looking golf courses as the train passed through Troon along the coast.
You are right about the weather though.....
They do like their 'Greggs' in the middle of Glasgow as well !
[cite]Posted By: Can-addick[/cite]Wow! And after I got a nice whisper a couple of weeks back from Weegie telling me all of the nice things to see and do there... ;-)
Ignore these heathens, Can. I'm sure it'll be lovely weather when you are here. But if not, there are nice indoor places too...
It's actually been a pretty dry winter here, and we've had very little snow. Clearly the weather gods were saving it all up for Leroy's visit ;-)
couldnt agree more. There are nice parts to Scotland but Glasgow is truly the arse end of the world. I would rather be just about anywere than glasgow even Kinshasa.

Some people say the same about SE London, you know....;-)

LOL and to be fair Kinshasa is probably closer to SE London than Glasgow if you know what i mean :-)

That is the most ignorant post I've ever read. Try the Merchant City for a night out mate, you might change your mind.

The worse parts of Glasgow are on another level to anything in SE London.
If you're in a kebab shop in Glasgow after kicking out time and it's filled with pissed up Glaswegians, never NEVER tell the kebab man that you don't like Irn bru!!!

Agree i am ignorant when it comes to Glasgow know little about the city have been ther a handful of times and not liked what i saw. But maybe i should try again.
Went with heroin addick for the weekend to see Celtic play, thought it was alright actually. Very clean, nice bars, but some scary tramps - especially when you can't understand a word their screamin at you.

Should have stayed away from Parkhead!
Like all cities it's got it's good and bad bits, although as SoundAsa said, it's bad bits are truly awful! It's not as nice as Edinborough (my 2nd fav British city) but it's still a decent place overall.
The difference between Glasgow and Edinburgh is: When you buy weed in Edinbrough youre likely also to be invited to a rather civilised swaree...buy weed in Glasgow and youll be best to remember that English bank notes can cause great anger, in addition when you check youll find your gear has more seeds than Kew Gardens!

LOL i wouldnt try and purchase anything of that kind in any scottish cities simply because i know how the scotts feel about English people and i dont fancy being Jacked ;-)
Flying up from Southampton in the morning, airport to Ibrox (via pubs), watch the game, back to Ayr after the game, night on the razz, stay at mates then lift back to Glasgow for flight home Sunday night
It might not be the prettiest place on earth (although some of the buildings are beautiful and I loved the parks and the Burrell Museum), but its got bags of character and that's something that endears a place to me. Plus, the sense of humour up there is fantastic - have a drink with the average weegie and you will be laughing your bits off within minutes.
Often some of the grimmest places have the nicest people, don't you find?

There is always one
Not been for ages but a real city, a bit dirty and rough in places but it's good.

I meant the actual place. It's a f***ing hole, end of.
