| Women are from Venus and Men from Mars. What about Glaswegians ?
Posted: 5/13/2008 10:44:22 PM | Glasgow Rangers F.C are playing a UFA Cup final tonight at the city of Manchester stadium.Police estimate there will be up to 100,000 heading South. I was working in town [Manchester ] yesterday and got a startling glimpse of what to expect at work today.
No offence if there are any Scots or in particular Glaswegians reading this , but what a scary looking race of people. Do they not have daylight up there ? They are paler than Casper the ghost. I don't go in for generalising , generally, but if ever a stereotype fitted then this is it, like a glove.
Ive no idea why the life expectancy of a Glaswegian male is only 36 years in this day and age. They mustn't have a dentist in that part of the world because I can't remember seeing anybody with more than 3 or 4 teeth and they were black and rotten.I think they were being good humoured yesterday but its difficult to say as they sound so aggressive and tend to shout. The volume goes up significantly as the alcohol consumption increases. The woman look hard as f*ck and have skin like leather and tongues that could clip a hedge.
Am I being unfair or have Glaswegians been mercilessly beaten with the ugly stick ?
Are they the nearest living thing to cavemen or just down to earth and rough diamonds. What are your thoughts ? | |

Glasgow is a great city with a fantastic atmosphere and the people I knew were actually able to find an NHS dentist, unlike a lot of English people (myself included). As with anywhere in the world it has its bad elements and it seems as if they have all travelled early. | |

Posted: 5/13/2008 11:25:48 PM | | Awe, sounds like you just couldn't close the deal on a Glaswegian lady yesterday. They just aren't typically into pansy-a$$ pretty boys. That sucks for you. (HAHAHAHA) Anyways... the life expectancy is the lowest in the UK, but it is around the age of 65, not 36. | |

I dated a glaswegian back in my early 20's, he lives abroad nowadays but we are still good mates. Once you get past the neds (and I'm not to keen on the southern equivalent, chavs) glaswegians are the salt of the earth. The Art is vibrant, the barras are great. I like glasgow, but only in the summer cos I'm a soft southern wuss who hates the cold. | |

Posted: 5/14/2008 3:11:07 AM | One of the enduring sights I recall from one of my visits was of a man urinating in a doorway...
...he finished up...
...gave it a shake...
...took out his keys...
...and went inside!
Cargy, memories like that you just can't put a price on ! just out of interest, she wasn't called Brenda was she ?
Ive had my bespoke tailor run me up a full length body armour suit for work today. its made out of like a mesh, chain-mail type material and is equipped with built in colostomy bag in case I shat myself and ash tray. Its everything proof [including bomb] and guaranteed to withstand anything except [wait for it] yes you got it , anything except rampaging Glaswegian football supporters.
They are thought to have more power in their jaws per sq inch than a great white shark. I don't know how true it is but I heard all sorts of rumours yesterday including:
A guy was said to have been so incensed at being refused alcohol that his head actually exploded showering a number of parishioners in spew and vitriol. The priest, a Father Aidan Anabetting was later to say , " I was giving holy communion at the altar when the next thing all hell broke loose as this seething Rangers fan demanded the wine I was holding. Before I had time to even start drinking it the demented mans head had burst" he concluded , " It was most astonishing 11am mass for quite some time"
OOh I love the glaswegian accent! It's well sexy.
Each to their own I say but that is equally as astonishing as the above incident for my money. I find being spoken to by a Glaswegian akin to being pinned against a wall by a rabid Alsatian dog that you would find in a scrap yard.

That's spooky! No, he/she/it wasn't called Brenda, but how did you know that??!!
I have to admit, whenever I've visited Glasgow, I've always had an overwhelming temptation to run around saying "aye, it's mudder".
Thankfully I've resisted, because I don't wish to be muddered! | |

Posted: 5/14/2008 9:10:24 AM | | im a glaswegian ,although i support Celtic.I do pity the ppl of manchester having to put up the other lot who have been swimming in the shallow end of the gene pool.The last time they were in a euro final they won and were consequently banned from european football for rioting!!!!In saying that ,it was 1972 and i would like to think they have moved on from that,fingers crossed.All things considered though ,Glasgow ppl are generally very friendly and visitors to this great city often comment on this,pay us a visit ,u would be pleasantly surprised i think | |

Posted: 5/14/2008 9:58:03 AM | Did I ever mention that my ex, the kids dad was Glaswegian Johnny? and worse than that, he was from the Gorbal's 
obviously he only went for me cos I'm as rough a a badger's @rse too
seriously though? my view of Glaswegian's changed after I met my ex..previously I had a similar view to yourself, thanks in no small part to the lovable Rab C Nesbitt...but after meeting all of my ex's family and their friends etc, and spending quite a lot of time in Glasgow, I can honestly say now, that my view is that for the most part they are a very academic bunch.. | |

Posted: 5/14/2008 10:15:47 AM | Just finished work at 4pm, the tram only went as far as Victoria? Got off 6 stops early, as it was a nice day I decided to walk back to Salford(1.5 miles).
Town as absolute chaos, 1000's of Jocks all singing, nearly everyone carrying a crate of lager on their shoulders. Normally, it is against the law to drink in the street with an eighty pound fine. That law has obviously been scrapped for tonight.
Good luck Rangers, but if the lose? God help Manchester with 100, 000 pissed up, angry fans.  | |

Posted: 5/14/2008 11:03:58 AM | The law has been scrapped for tonight. There are screen being put up so those without tickets can watch near the ground and join in the atmosphere.
Think about it this way..... not a single travelling Rangers fan has been arrested this season, and the whole of the world loves the Tartan Army for their friendliness, if not their teeth! As a semi fan of Rangers I am chuffed to bits they have reached the final and as long as they play well, and my mate Ally McCoist (friend of the family) isn't humiliated I will be a happy bunny. | |

Posted: 5/14/2008 12:02:54 PM |  Johnny you must be one brave man as there are hundreds of glaswegians on POF lol. Talk about stereotypes You obviously havent watched the Jeremy Kyle show in the mornings as it is full of CHAVS (mostly north of the border, some south too) and you are lucky if they have a tooth between them so you get chavs and neds everywhere, not just Glasgow.
Im not a Rangers fan but I hope they win as at least they are a Scottish team, better than a lot of russians winning thats for sure!  | |

ah you will be quite ok im sure....the scottish fans tend on the whole to be very well behaved and well received wherever they go.
Tooth issues.....errr i dont think thats reserved to just one nation.....having been various places down south......i can confirm that London, Newcastle, brum and manchester have more than their fair share.
Kinda like saying all down sowwwff say 'awww riyte guvna' and want to sell you a dodgy car every 10 seconds lol
i would also add that having spent 3 years in Glasgow.....some of the friendliest people on the planet.
*Scottish and Proud*

Posted: 5/14/2008 1:16:44 PM | | I cannot believe what I am reading on this post. Johnny has us all stereotyped as some sort of Rab C Nesbitt and Mary Dolls! Why of course there are some people who unfortunately were at the end of the good looks queue but I am sure that they are loved by someone. As for Glasgow, you obviously have never visited this city. Now, I havent been fortunate enough to visit everywhere in the UK but I'm pretty sure and please feel free to correct me if I am wrong, but doesnt every village, town and city have places that you just wouldnt want to live????? I frequent Manchester regularly and would suggest that it too is populated by some not so desirable looking people and some rather undesirable places to live, and I'm sure that it must be the same on a football night except the fans will be wearing different colours of shirts and come from Manchester....... | |

Posted: 5/14/2008 1:37:23 PM | Glasgow woman replying to the smart arse, You should come visit we have some of the most beautiful woman and handsome men dont 'tar us all with the one brush'
Im offended by most comments made. Take leaf out of our book for manners, That would be why inSeville Celtic Fans were praidsed for their conduct during their stay.
