With regards to the TV all the work and actual broadcast was done in London. The very first mechanical images on a screen was the work of this man https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Bain Who was born and died in Aberdeen. You'll find the most famous weegies will fuck off from the shit hole ASAP. Link to comment

Redforever86 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Never has a city been so self-absorbed with so little reason to be so. Dublin might be a close second. What a sweet way to remember the murder and cover up of innocent victims by a piss head liar and a corrupt council. Bless. 2 Link to comment

Much as I'm not a fan of Glasgow overall, there's obviously plenty of positives about the place. Music scene is best in Scotland. Architecture can be a strange one, lots of hidden gems. Arts, museums and exhibitions can be pretty good. The transport is good and they didn't waste a load of money putting in a useless tram Link to comment
Chewie37 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Weirdly I also think their drivers are better, probably because of the motorways and bigger road network. Link to comment
KidCreole Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 17. Our music sceneWell I started partying about 22 years ago and we went all over the U.K based on where the techno was, and I never once found myself in Glasgow, This was before I liked football and before I felt contempt in my heart. I did get my first decent line of k off a wedgie in the pelican club during Jeff mills so swings and roundabouts I guess. Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 What a load of shite Best thing about the weege is that only the weegies love it & that thankfully keeps most of them there. Link to comment
tightbreeks Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 The weeger always had more clubs open during the week. Edinburgh only has a couple. 1 Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 The weeger always had more clubs open during the week. Edinburgh only has a couple.I know of at least half a dozen clubs open through the week until 3 plus a good few live music clubs. Nae speaking about lap dancers either Problem with a good few of the early closing (1am) clubs through the week is that they are in residential areas & only get the extended licenses during festivals & festive periods.

Late licensing during the Festival is a great thing. Link to comment
tightbreeks Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Edinburgh's dead during the week usually. More likely to have rager in the weeger. Link to comment
Nelly Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I like the fact that Weegies aren't as self conscious as Aberdonians. The atmosphere you get at small gigs is always better in the weege, probably due to the alcohol intake. Link to comment

ab24_5qh Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I lived in Aberdeen for 22 years, and have now lived in Glasgow for 20 years. Personally I much prefer the Weeg, although the chippers are shite. 1 Link to comment
