My grandad's first wife was killed in the Clydebank Blitz, clearing the way for him to marry my grandmother. So I basically owe my existence to Hitler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ViktorVic Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 (edited) Ah, Glasgow. The place so ruggedly beautiful I'd live there myself if I could stand the climate of the place. Well, maybe I'm just too poetic for my age. Anyway, the cty has some of the best pubs and restaurants this side of the Atlantic, and some of the most interesting people to stay away from. The stories I could tell about the loveable drunk men who tried to befriend my hipster-goatee-decorated face with their fists can make for an Edgar Wright movie. Still, the country that birthed Sean Connery deserves the right to exist, and so does Glasgow as the essence of it.

Girth Posted September 8, 2017 Author Share Posted September 8, 2017 How the hell do you deal with the gloomy weather up there? I love the people and the city but I almost felt like death due to lack of sunshine. Is this something you get used to? Btw, those IRA bars near Celtic Park are absolutely shockingly embarrassing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. You'll slowly get used to the lack of colour and everything being dark and grey. It's better to embrace it rather than fight it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrcat1990 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 The weather is arguably the biggest downside to the city but you learn to cope.Absolute LOL at Gunter earlier in the thread suggesting the new flats near Braehead as a great place to live. Braehead is a fucking depressing place full of the utter zombies of Renfrewshire shuffling about throwing their wages at shite. The only places near you are Renfrew (a shite mini Paisley) and Paisley, which is well.. fucking Paisley. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
