God help the English taxpayer.

Wouldn't it be nice if England came first or second in the medals table. :grin:

To be honest, good luck to them. The Commonwealth games are always fun.

The only other contender was a town in Nigeria which is presently living under Sharia laws.

That would have made the women's events a bit more interesting :lol:

Scottish Rugby chief executive Gordon McKie
Rugby Sevens will be one of the showpiece events of the 2014 Commonwealth Games.

That's one event Scotland can rule out for a medal. There is no way they are going to displace New Zealand, England, Australia and Fiji for a gold - especially considering that Scotland finished below Kenya in the last World Sevens Series.

Bloody well was when I was there! :lol:

I remember waiting for a bus one day just along the road from Central Station and not one, not two but THREE drunks walked past (separately), all of whom had pissed themselves. Drunks wandering past in the city center after having pissed themselves was not an uncommon experience, trust me. In fact in Queens Street station once I was sitting waiting for a train and one guy just pissed himself then and there in front of everyone, then merrily got on the train and sat down.

As for the neds, they were every bloody where! I was waiting for the bus home late one night (I always used to work late back in those days), I popped into a takeaway on the road that runs beside Central Station, and was walking along merrily eating my pizza and chips. Who should approach me but a ned! "Tha licks nice, gonnae gizza bite!"

He didn't take kindly to my refusal and started walking along beside me shoving me and calling me an "EEnglish bastit" as well as all manner of things I am utterly convinced that nobody on the planet has ever been able to decipher before, I mean come on, we have more chance of understanding the noises made by mating hyenas than we do of understanding 95% of that which comes from the mouth of a ned, but I digress!

This behaviour continued all the way to my bus stop at the bottom of the road, at which point I calmly turned to him and grabbed his balls, then squeezed and twisted them as hard as I could manage, getting right in his face and hissed, "You have two choices, one you can keep going as you are and lose your balls, or you can pretend to be civilised, apologise for disturbing my evening and be on your way with all your bits in the right places!" He apologies and limped off.

I know the place isn't completely full of the two type of people that I am describing, you have the junkies and the Glasgae mafia up there too, then somewhere, if you look hard enough, you might just find a decent person somewhere in the city or in Strathclyde in general, I think I employed most of them. :lol:

I'm only going on my personal experience, I know that it's not like that for everyone, but it most certainly was in all the time I spent there. I've instructed my friends to euthanize me if I ever even consider going back there for a visit! :lol:

Sorry Nidge! Gotta admit though, Fife and the people of Fife is/are much better, really enjoyed the time I spent in Fife :grin:

Great. I'll probably be living in Glasgow at some point in my life. Sounds fun :)

I lived in a little village called Star Chris, no junkies there that I came across, in fact it reminded me a lot of the Cotswolds...similar geography and similar atmosphere and friendliness.

If you saw one or not, Fife is still having problems with Drugs.

And on topic, its good to see Glasgow getting the games. Im not sure if they are getting anything from the 2012 Olympics to regenerate parts of Glasgow, but i hope they can for the Commonwealth Games

I would wager that the drugs problem in Strathclyde puts the drugs problem in Fife to shame. There was a documentary not that long ago where the highest percentage of drug users per population in the entire country was Strathclyde. I doubt that'll change any time soon! :lol:

My hometown in Ireland during the sixties was full of fellahs the got so pissed up they lay in the gutter, spazzed to the world, they had been paid and had drunk themselves into oblivion - spunking the weeks wages and leaving the auld lady and the kids with nothing to eat for the week.

There were sections of the town so rough and slummy that the council just turfed everyone out of the rat infested alleyways that were damp, dingy and without basic needs like running water,drainage, light or heating - and bricked it up - It is still like it today - An area about the size of a football pitch in the middle of the town near the river - teeming with the filth of an underclass, like a victorian slum only 10 years on.
Bulldoze it now and its prob gonna be the new docklands. yeuk
