Guest Magic Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I don't feel the need to ever becoming being independent. I like being in the United Kingdom. Say that allowed up hear in some places though and you are nailed to the cross. Particularly in the West. Thankfully I don't venture into that dangerous territory very often! Last time I was in Glasgow I felt legit scared for my safety :lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Inno Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Far as I'm concerned, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. It's not perfect, but I like things as they are. I fear change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GENE 86 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Magic you didn't feel safe in Glasgow? Are you not from Scumdee? Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Magic Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Nah I'm a c*nt fae Edinburgh. Glasgow felt like a different country! Although I orignally hail from Glenrothes, and that's no picknick either, but at least it's MY sh*tehole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Inno Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I feel fine everywhere "civilised" so that rules out Coatbidge and Airdrie... but then again, I'm a big fat f**k so people generally leave me alone :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GENE 86 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Why did I think you came from the ehing and pehing land? Your from Glenrothes? I just bought my first house there a month ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Magic Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Inno, I was up at Oran Mor. And had to walk from their to Queen Street station after 10 pm. It was a terrifying ordeal. There were youths gathered outside an offl license and everything! That's awesome Gene! Where about? Fury lives there too! I have the type of relationship with Glenrothes where it's ok for me to bad mouth it, but if anyone else does then f*ck them! It's not so much scary these days, just that it kind of lacks... stuff.

GENE 86 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Balfarg? On the outskirts,i grew up in a wee village just outside Glenrothes so I know the area pretty well.Although I was still shocked when I went to the chippy and all the bins were chained to the railings! On the plus side if your ever in the area I can show my all my wrestling videos/DVDs to someone that would appreciate them haha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Magic Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 (edited) My best friends live in Balfrag. Know the area well, a nice bit of town! Try the Chinese at Cadham, the family of another friend of mine own it! This thread should probably be split! :lol "Scotland: An Encyclopedia of Questionable Suburbs."

GENE 86 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Where's the Chinese up by Dom's? And speaking of Glasgow I'm getting the train there tommorow for the Scotland game,I think the 12:05 back to Edinburgh will be eventful.....

Guest Ruderz Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Yeah, I fear for my life everytime I go into Glasgow. There's just so many people. Not to mention the last time I was there, a bunch of what I can only assume were dancing monks came up to me and tried to get me to join in and take a pamphlet. Crazy. But as for Scottish Independence, it's a tricky subject. On one hand, I would love to see Scotland as it's own country and have a 'Scottish' box when signing up for things rather than British (cause I'd personally class myself as Scottish over British) and to not have English politicians make decisions for Scotland (when the decisions they make are actually based on English needs over Scottish needs, I feel). But on the other hand, being independent is a pipe dream. It's a fantasy. It's something that would be great, but in the long run would be our downfall. A lot of people say "Aw, if ye dinnae want tae be independent, then ye urnae a true Scot! SCOTTISH AND PROUD!!!!" But I am Scottish and I am proud of it, I just know that in the long run it would be detrimental to our country. Sure, the current system has it's problems, but how many problems would we have if we were on our own? Most likely double our problems right now.

Guest Inno Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I walk anywhere in Glasgow and very rarely feel ill at ease. Some of the pubs I go to drink in would make your hair curl. You guys should come on a Subcrawl with me, I'd show you some sights ;) Maybe it's because I was born Weegie and don't notice it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ruderz Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 The one thing about Glasgow that I love is that huge statue of a man on a horse, with a street cone on the head. What's funnier is how they just keep on putting it back up there... http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3a/Statue_of_Wellington,_mounted,_Glasgow_-_DSC06285.JPG/250px-Statue_of_Wellington,_mounted,_Glasgow_-_DSC06285.JPG http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1182/1393048850_c47dbb421a.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Inno Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 (edited) Duke of Wellington. The tale used to be that on a Friday in the wee small hours, the cops would climb it and put the cone there to stop the dafties trying it over the weekend and falling and killing themselves ;) Oh, and it's evolving: http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y172/TheInno/IMG_20130516_122833_zps05266644.jpg Edited September 5, 2013 by Inno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
