Things I miss about living in Glasgow...

1. If you want some tablet, people think you need a chemist
2. No square sausages
3. No potato scones (Sainsbury's sometimes sell them but all them potato cakes (english poofs !)
4. You - have - to - slow - down - when - you - are - talking - so - that - you - can - be - understood
5. Without Sky Sports, you wouldnt know that Scottish Football existed
6. The underground in London doesnt always run undergound
7. They call private schools, 'Public Schools'
8. No one knows what dumpling is
9. You have to say J as 'jay' instead of 'jiy' otherwise they think you are mad.
10. If you come from Glasgow, everyone thinks you support Rangers or Celtic.
11. No glass bottles of Irn Bru.
12. No Scotch Pies (a sheer luxury - I have 3 in my freezer I picked up in Glasgow last time I was there)


This is actually from my cousin who lives in Guildford but I feel the same...

(I'm just adding to this every time I think of something else LOL )

 

1. We actually call it toffee up here for some odd reason, people don't really call it tablet, but my mum and gran do cos of where they come from. Anyway, it is jolly nice!

2.

3. I think potatoe scones are bogging anyway!

4. I understand this problem!

5. It, like most football has become a farce anyway!

6. Never used it

7. That's just daft!

8. Do they not?!

9. I say "jay"

10. Whereas there are also a number of other crap teams that you could support

11. I stopped drinking Irn Bru when I went on my diet and I haven't been able to drink it since

12. I don't like scotch pies

No abernethies or tunnock's caramel wafers though! Or Embra Castle Rock

 

You are not scottish if:

1) You dont like Scotch Pies
2) You dont like Tattie Scones
3) You dont drink Irn Bru
4) You say "Jay"

 

I understand what you say Cass.....(But not always what Andy says )

 

I know what you mean, J.

All those "gads" and "minks" LOL

Gotta love him though...LOL

 

if we must

 

Awww hugs for mah JC ladies

I thought that "gads" was a universal word though - I could swear I saw Sammy using it once

 

I think its because you say it that people have caught on to it.

Chet says it too.

 

Cool, I started a trend!

Look out for all the school kiddies saying it next Spring

 

Yeah but it wont be the "cool" kids saying it, Gav

LOL

 

Of course it would be

"Gads, you clatty minker!"

 

Now THERE'S a good word:


CLATTY!

 

Oh you use that one?

 

Yes. Its a great word.

Also, Cleopatras...the dancin' on Great Western Road gets called Clatty Pats...

LOL

Never been there...apparently its full of skanky hoes.

Dunno if Toochilled has been there though

 

Liar

I've got one for you - Noras

Hee hee

 

You made that up!

 

Nope... it's not that widely used any more though

 

I had tablet yesterday which was made by one of the girls in work - lovely although my sugar level is through the roof today and my teeth have finally given in.

First time at my English wife's house (before we were married)...

Mother in law to be "would you like a drink Scot"

Me "Aye - just a wee drap O Ginger"

Mother in law "????"

 

LMAO


A wee drap a ginger!

That is priceless...


Which part of England is your lady from again?


OOH OOH LOOK WHAT I FOUND!!!


Tablet


2 lbs Sugar
2 tlbs Syrup
small tin condensed milk (sweetened)
2 ozs Margarine
3 ozs water
1/2 tsp Vanilla


Place all in pan. Melt slowly. Stir till boiling.
Boil about 30 minutes.


Remove from heat and beat well and pour into greased tin.
Mark when cool; cut when cold.

 

Yeah but the thing with making tablet is the cooling it down - it can all go horribly wrong.

My mum in law is lovely - she buys me beer when I visit - my first Christmas there she asked my wife what kind of beer and as my wife had only seen me drink Tennants lager (I know, I was young) she bought be some Tennants - SUper!

 

LOL

Supies.

Ohhh the memories

 

Just noticed dumplings - what about doughballs? Mince Tatties and doughballs - I asked for that and got it amazingly but they called the doughballs dumplings - talk about a backwards country!

You confident about Sunday's game Cass?

 

Oh feckin hell!!!!

I didnt even know!!!!

See this living in England lark...its just crap!


We are gonna tank Sellick 3-1.

LOL

 

LOL - We'll see!

Difference between Glasgow and Edinburgh? You go visiting in Glagsow and the opening line from whoever you are visiting is "Have you had your tea?" Whereas in Edinburgh it's "You'll have had your tea!"

 

Well, well, well - can you hear the Rangers sing? Probably not. Was at the game and although Rangers played well in terms of having lost of the play - they lacked a cutting edge.

Championi....
