Glasgows Finest

Check yer (drunk) man falling over whilst trying to lob a dead seagull at someone at Garrowhill train station ( a part of the city I know well):

(a very short clip)

 

This is nothing however: on saturday I was walking along broomfield rd. It was a warn and sunny day, I was in short sleeves. I encountered a man in the street carrying (i) a full size golf umbrella (not open) which seemed somewhat incongruous and (ii) a large, brilliant white, live cockatoo, which seemed even more incongruous.

 

The bird wasnt in a cage or anything, just sitting squawking on his forearm.

 

In a poor light, he could have been a pirate of sorts.

 

So, from dead gulls to live cockatoos, Glasgow has it covered ;)

My daughter is in Glasgow, saw Five seconds of summer at the Hydro last night. she says you're all weirdo's, especially the god botherer's, sorry cs.

 

Meh, she wouldnt have said that if she'd met a guy in the street with a live cockatoo!

 

(I bet its a good way to "break the ice" as it were).

Factually incorrect.

 

That is Edinburgh; on every single level far superior to Glasgow.

 

With the exceptions of:

 

- shopping

- amenities

- nightlife

- value for money

- character (both of the city and its inhabitants)

- likelihood of seeing persons with exotic birds at random in the street

- transport

 

I would concede the following the Edinburgh:

 

- it is very pretty to stand on Princess St and look around, those views of the castle etc beat Glasgow and most places
