"That’s right Osama, this is how we do things in Raintown. This ain’t London. There’s no stiff English upper lip here, no WAGs. And it sure ain’t Edinburgh - they’d all be hiding in Harvey Nicks and hysterically babbling about their Tuscan villas. There’s no ‘Big J’ in Edinburgh airport, there’s no ‘Smeato’ at Heathrow. Here we take the law into our own hands. And feet."
Now you know why I'm proud to be an adopted Weegie!
[cite]Posted By: Sir John Humphrey[/cite]has the would be terrorist been charged yet ?.....they should be able to get him for smoking near the terminal at the very least.
LOL - very good!
Maybe that's all it was. An elaborate plan to put the case for smokers rights?
[cite]Posted By: Weegie Addick[/cite]You obviously didn't go to the right places - give me a shout next time and I'll show you the nice bits!
Is there any truth in the story that in a recent survey to find "the best place to be in Glasgow" the clear winner - with 95% of the vote - was the airport departure lounge?
i took les to glasgow a couple of years ago. thought it was great. went to a gig at the barrowlands, went out for drinks in a bar called nice n sleazy or something like that and went on an open top tour of the city, which pointed out some great things.
we also went to see celtic v hearts and drank with hardcore celtic fans in some of the pubs near barrowlands before the game necking buckfast whilst walking up to the ground. it was an excellent weekend.
last time i was there i had imaginary bullets fired into my head by a belfast rangers supporter... her didnt like my choice of song.
which then caused a fight in the pub as some celtic supporters had taken offence as i had stopped singing (and stopped their enjoyment of said song) due to the imaginary bullets being fired in my direction... the 15 girls i was with were very unimpressed with me! i didnt realise people took it all so seriously :-)
Only place i've been into a pub where the bar had floor to ceiling perspex infront of it, you ordered your drinks & paid for your drinks at one serving hatch, then went to the other end of the bar where they passed them through a pint sized hole... i didn't have a second one.
My company is based up there so i go up a bit. First time i went up there i was expecting a bomb site with people wanting to stab me the whole time but there are some really cool bars and clubs up there and the people are alright.
And for the ladies - the shops are supposed to be really good too.
[cite]Posted By: Weegie Addick[/cite]Edinburgh is superficial. Glasgow is real. It helps to know where to go, though, and I would certainly recommend avoiding the Old Firm nonsense!
That's like saying that Greenwich is superficial but Deptford is "real". It just means that one is a total toilet and the other isn't!
Unfortunately, everybody seems to be missing the one sad side to this story. SE10Addick was even deluded enough to think that the truth was far better than it is.
Yes, it's sad, but Mr Smeaton is that 'S' away from being privileged enough to share a surname with me....
