Rangers game tonite

May 14, 2008

Glasgow will be one crazy place with the Rangers team in the euro final tonite.

Even I’ll watch the game, as it’s really Scotland vs the world loool.

Moan the Rangers…eh not.

 

 

Chisels dying out?

March 20, 2008

Chisels / neds – on the last Saturday trip I took, there was an abscence of the stereo-typical chavy ned with the shell suit.

Still, the rest were neds, but the harmless type.  Fake tan was fairly apparent.  Funny.

With the cold weather we can look forward to less litter, less city centre fights and a general calmness to the city.

The cold weather last night reminded me of when I had a miserable office job in the Glasgow city centre, walking through the streets in the freezing cold wearing a suit.  I had to use damart vests with a t shirt to stop the wind cutting into me (it worked well)…but last night in my ski jacker and baseball cap, I wondered how I got used to do it.

Glasgow will always be home….regardless of what it brings.

After some daft pakis decided to drive a 4×4 into Glasgow airport loaded with petrol, nails and gas cylinders (which didn’t explode)…John Smeaton gave them the Glasgow welcome and huckled them to the ground.

Nice one Johno, you are Glasgow’s national hero…our streets (and airports) are now safer!

Byres road, one of the best streets in Glasgow

Yes, it’s the hard city.  Like Mexico it’s dangerous, dirty, and rough but stimulating to the mind.

It’s where I’ve been bred and brought up.  Glasgow represents home.  Not Scotland.

The memories of the west end in the 1970s and 1980s will always remain, a cherished time.

Previously I can remember as a kid going to Kelvingrove park with my friend and we were only 9.  That would not happen today.

Glasgow might have it’s down…but like Mexico, it’s got character and stimulates the mind….
