So hooray and hello who`s with me from the Big Easy in Ecosse?

Hello and welcome from the other(better) end of the M8. :rose:
Oh buggery..... yet another Haggis botherer !
Tattyxpx.. come say hi to yer fellow clansman!

...but I thought "weegie" was an affectionate (?????) term given to those from Glasgow by the classy capital crew. As a Lanarkshire lad living in the Lothians (and who likes a little alliteration), I am often branded a "weegie" by those Edinburgher wannabe's (who can't quite afford the house prices) just because my accent is more Craiglang than Craigmillar.

Hi Simon and welcome;
Suffice to say that it "Taks a lang spoon tae sup wi me"

Welcome and I hope you enjoy your time on SH.
As for the obvious comments..we both know Glasgow is the best ignore those east coasters..if Edinburgh is that bloody good how come they have to come to weegies for that better service?
As usual ever controversial ..thats me..lol

I live in Somerset, but am gonna be in Glasgow, next week.
No help at all, really, am I?
Aw wouldn`t do that... prefer to do nicer things...
Well Vix enjoy your stay... if you`d like some tips on what to do let me know and I`ll happily assist... might even take you out for a drink (away myself for few days, but back Wednesday...)
Gonna be there on Weds & Thurs, with my Union, so I have a prior engagement, at the bar, natch.
I think sometime in April, Reese will be coming up there too, when I have my Union conference, for a week.
Will have to make plans for that!
Let me know how you get on and if in need for some advice in April I´ll try and help...
My speciality is good music (doesn´t have to be Billy Bragg) and hmmmm oh I think you know what the other bit is...

Hi tattyxpx,
Thanks for the welcome and even more a pleasure to receive that from someone with such a sexy avatar...
You can show me the ropes anytime if need be...
Glasgow here...but Australian!
I'm not even much of a novelty.......hundreds if not thousands of us in Scotland. Though I may be the only one in this village!
Hey Vix.....I've got a similar look to Reese, hair and all.........but my god, not as big :shock:
Have fun all
thanks and you're right....I've been overseas a bit and not posted for a month or three......and forgot about that. It's OTT indeed. sorted now.
