Have some proper Glaswegian (with Added Dr Who)

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Having cavorted with Glaswegians a lot during my London life. I actually understood most of that clip ;-)

Re: For ceebs (none / 1)

Having lived in Corby, I tend to get used as a translator.

(oh and Perth is much worse than Glasgae)

Re: For ceebs (none / 1)

Don't know the Perth lingo. My only other Scottish pal came from Stirling, but his distortion was mainly accent rather than vocab. The problem with the Glasgae folk was the word substitution. It took me a time to wok out that 'messages' were groceries.

Re: For ceebs (none / 0)

BTW these pals were Stone the Crows, and I have to say I have never laughed so long and so frequently as in their company. But then again it was the London time of substance abusal. I could write a book about a holiday trip with them to Gozo. It had everything that makes rock 'n' roll great ;-)
