I know it because it is McLarens home base.

Ive never been but am Glaswegian heritage from many generations ago. Will get there one day.

Have a great time! Love the accent..

A good friend is from Glasgow, I asked him why pretty much every man I know from Glasgow had a scar on their face, his response was classic Scot, "hoot mon, if ye haven't a scar on yer face, you're a fucking tourist!"

I used to work with a guy from Glasgow and he looked like he could murder someone but was so soft and kind and the total opposite when you knew him. Wouldn’t hurt a fly.

The car?

I’ve never been to Scotland - to my shame.

I’d like to do one of those whiskey distillery tours.

The car?

Yes, and the F1 race team.

How about the south west? Dorset, Devon, and further?

Too close to Cockneys

lol.

lol.

A cockney living up here has to go to the USA now and then. He said the first time he pulled into a GAS station, he went inside and asked if they sold fags. The look on their faces and he was perplexed, lol.

I had a friend who taught in a university there.

On his first day of classes, he instructed the students to get their rubbers out.

I’ll say no more.

Scotland is just miserable. It's all one big damp peat bog. If you want to sound Scottish, just have a few beers, if you want to sound Glaswegian, just get totally rat arsed.

I went up to Newton Mearns, a posh side to Glasgow (apparently there is), and my mate and I popped out towards Glasgow to a pub. We got a pint each, then wondered why the beer was in a plastic pint glass, no chairs, and the tables were barrels screwed down to the floor. After spending 1.4 seconds drinking the pint down, we left.

I’ve been told many times how wonderful it is.

The wife and I booked a trip to Scotland next April.

Her grandparents migrated from Scotland and she still has some living relatives there.

She went as a kid, I have never been so very excited by the chance to see it.

All I know about Scotland I learned from Highlander and Connor MacLeod.

Try and get tickets for a Celtic Rangers game. Its a monument to tolerance and religious understanding.
i went a few years ago with a nate who lived in Edinburgh. he was a member of the Edinburgh branch of the Rangers supporters club so we went on their bus to G;asgow.
We were told to get to the pub for 7.30 in the morning. We didnt depart till about 11 at which point everyone was very relaxed.
The rangers fans were unionist bigots but the lads I met were pretty sound. The one who got the first round in brought back 2 rounds because he couldnt be arsed queueing twice. So we all did the same. Quite civilised.

When we got to the ground the toilets were chocka so everyone took a piss on the terraces. I wondered what the drizzle in the tunnel was running down our necks.

Nobody watched the game as they were too busy screaming at the opposition fans.
Rangers had the best song to be fair. Sung to the tune of She'll be coming round thhe mountain.

Could you go a chicken dinner Bobby Sands ? ( repeat)

A lullaby to the late IRA hunger striker. It was a cut above the rather boorish Fuck the Pope chants that were most popular.

The Celtic fans who are mainly reppublican responded wuth Your Queen takes it up the arse to the tune of Go West by the Pet Shop Boys.
It was most educational and proof of how sport unites people.


But the day ended prematurely. When we got back to Edinburgh my new friends started flaking off with "exhaustion" and there werre just the two of us left by about 7pm.

But we had a great night around the town and even got in a gay bar by convincing the bouncers that we were in a relationship. They had a great disco in there and were a great bunch of lads.

Scotch culture at its finest.
