Help!

I'm bored - anyone doing nothing right now and fancy a pint?

Handed my dissertation in, and I suppose that could be an excuse for some beer :O)

Well, I'm at wirk right now, and it would take me another 11 hours or so to fly there, so you'll probably not be bored by the time I got there.

And I'd say that handing a dissertation in is an excuse for LOTS o' beer! Congrats!

Thanks! Shame you can't make it! Ah well.

If/when I ever make it back to the UK, I'll look you up, and we can have a few.

You've been here have you? Where did you go?

I've been around England in 1999. I was in Glasgow for a week, last November/December.

Cool. What did you think of Glasgow?

I'm afraid to answer that question, lest there's some sort of Glasgow/Edinburh rivalry. :)

Actually, I really like Glasgae. It's gritty, and real, yet there's lots of art and educational institutions. My kind of city. :) Scottish accents I can understand rather easily, but I could not, for the life of me, understand Glaswegian.

Indeed - I do generally struggle to understand the Weegies too, so a non-native will really have problems!

I can understand why you do like Glasgow with thoise criteria, but since I come from somewhere like that in England, I much prefer Edinburgh's much more relaxed atmosphere!

Ahhhh. Are you a Manc, originally?

*shudder*

Nope - Yorkshire!

Sorry to offend. I didn't mean it. What's wrong with Mancs? I quite liked Manchester, thank you.

It's not a bad place actually - I do quite like it! I just can't really admit it in public :O) Had some good nights out there with friends from uni...
