My ex-wife was - is - Glaswegian and I actually quite like the place.
Mind you she is very middle class and there are probably bits I'd not like to see.

Gotta say I love Glasgow but it's a bit of a curate's egg.

8 of the top 10 gigs I've been to have been in Glasgow, there's always been such a great music-appreciation atmosphere. And imaginative hecklers!!!

Near Milngavie. That's Milngavie to most people, but Mil-Guy to them.

You see, the thing is this right, if you get in a vehicular smash then you'll get off much better if you're nice and relaxed.
And as for France? Well just about the only thing wrong with France (one of the finest countries in the universe) is that it's populated by the French. The most arrogant race on the planet. And why are they so fucking arrogant? Cos they know, they FUCKING KNOW that they live in one of the finest countries in the universe.

Always amused me that you're enemies with the French and call them arrogant. It just means that you feel the same way about your southern neighbours as the Scots do, and that maybe you hate them so much because they remind you so much of yourselves.
Amirite?

So no, youisnotrite but I understand where you is coming from.

Dudezilla is obviously the size of a mythical Japanese beast, whereas Dudereeno/Duderino is merely human sized.

A mate of mine is a Radiographer at Broad Green, Liverpool.
He's seen junkies come in who have launched themselves off 5 storey buildings with only minor damage, because they've been convinced they were flying until they hit the ground, so totally relaxed.
I've spent very little time in France (like, can be counted in less than 50 hours.) I just dislike the concept.

Despite the auld alliance I must say it is spoiled by the French.

Ditto with the Dutch.

As for the Dutch? Meh!
Why?
Roadsigns, you sub-sea-level cunts.
Or rather motorway roadsigns.

But I've been to loads of nowhere places in the US and hardly been to Europe at all.
Worked in Switzerland and Belgium for a few weeks - that's about it.

I know Genève pretty well, Lausanne and Montreux fairly well, spent some time in Vallorbe, had a cracking romance in Bern and go horribly lost in the fog around Fribourg...
I love Switzerland, simply love the place.

Tinguely (sp?) museum is worth a visit.

I was single at the time and I stayed there at the weekends and got a railpass - travelled all over the place on Saturdays and Sundays.
Smashing place - I'd go back.

Always found that amusing but was never fully able to explain why.
Aaah, Colombian women ;)
And there was a Russian lass (Anna) too, she lived/lives in Genève, but that never came to much apart from the weekend I flew out there for the Pixies gig that time.
Oh golly, melancholy feelings!
