"21 Reasons To Be Thankful For Glasgow"


Recommended Posts

Aberdonians read with caution. This list got me worked up, so fuck knows what it will do to you:

 

Of the 21 reasons, I think perhaps only 6 are valid byraway:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

1. The OId Firm (Argh! Fuck off and die!)

 

2. Comedy (very over-rated)

 

3. The people (granted)

 

4. It may be indirectly responsible for batman (what a load of pish)

 

5. Birthplace of TV (OK fine)

 

6. Street art (Is that what they are calling orange parades these days?)

 

7. The City responsible for Oasis (tenuous pish)

 

8. It's the closest you'll come to a real-life Hogwarts simulator (rubbish)

 

9. Our role as Scotland's rebellious heart (unconvinced, the huns are very subservient for a start)

 

10. A keen sense of equality for all (self-regarding pish)

 

11. Our healthy irreverence for authority (nonsense, most huns love to hero worship authority)

 

12. Our varied entertainment tastes (tastes as varied as getting pissed and being fat)

 

13. Our bravery in the line of fire (more self-regarding pish)

 

14. It's a public transport dream for the easily-confused (OK)

 

15. Our local authority's HQ doubles as both the heart of Catholicism and the Russian government (grasping at straws)

 

16. The city's industry helped secure Britain's prosperity (an obvious sop to the huns)

 

17. Our music scene (duplicate of number 7, running out of ideas)

 

18. Our nightlife (the best in Scotland, granted)

 

19. The architecture (Edinburgh wins, much as it pains me to say it)

 

20. Delivering to the world the Chicken Tikka Masala (no argument)

 

21. The patter (the best ever, byraway)

Every single point is complete and utter shit.

 

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.

Tikka Masala, ooh thanks, mmmmmm. 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

17. Our music scene

Well 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.

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 :laughing:

 

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.

I've never had any problem finding clubs open late in Edinburgh, just some of them are pretty quiet during the week, so just depends if you're wanting to get hammered or socialise. Late licensing during the Festival is a great thing.

Glasgow is great if it's not a match day, shops, pubs and food places are way better than you get here.

+1, I even enjoy the footy days.
