I found it odd, and amusing, because I soon realised it was fun not to tell them.

I actually have at certain times - when they found out I was from glasgow..which amuses me..

perhaps but not when going to different areas and meeting different people..

one possible way to start to stop all this is abolish seperate schools..they dont really have non denomonational (sp) schools in scotland/glasgow.. you either go to a protestant or a catholic one...
if kids were all brought up with the same education then it may go along way in stopping some of it..
I for one am glad my kids do go to school in up there..

and I prefer to be asked which foot do I kick with...

true - the sick kids taxi parade/trip more or less closes the whole city centre every year...
its still a great sight to see...
every taxi driver giving up their days takings etc (and donating to sick kids hospital) and time to take the sick kids to the coast for the day..they also have to decorate their own taxis..
havent seen it done anywhere else..

You need to get out and about more.

Apparently the recent sectarian bombs were traced back to Kilwinning, Ayrshire.

Bomb threats, vile websites, songs of bloodlust and hate ... But why have the crime figures that reveal the true nature of Scotland?s sectarian shame been kept secret? ?We are acting blind without these figures. Let?s discuss it? - Herald Sco

Blimey, it's spreading.

Have hate, and a stamp, will travel.

Kilwinning. Not far from where cmonstanley lives.

Sounds like a hotbed of terrorist cells are at work there.

I'd move. Quckly.

Ok, let's all start waving our Union Jacks and sing the stirring words to that immortal pro-Royalist, anti-Papist anthem, originally sung by our hero......er, Roy Orbison...

A light shone in the night somewhere ahead
Blue turned into green, then it was red.
And, stirring the night, loud music played
The light I saw in the night was a penny arcade.

“Step up and play”, each machine seemed to say
as I walked round and round the penny arcade.
“Just ring the bell on the big bagatelle
and you’ll make all the coloured lights cascade”.

And music played in the penny arcade.
Yes, it played and it played, played all the time
“Roll up and spend your last dime!”

At first I thought it a dream that I was in.
Lost , lost in a sea of glass and tin.
But no, so dipping my hand in the back of my jeans,
I grabbed a handful of coins to feed the machines.

“Step up and play”, each machine seemed to say
as I walked round and round the penny arcade.
“Just ring the bell on the big bagatelle
and you’ll make all the coloured lights cascade”.

“Step up and play”, each machine seemed to say

“Just ring the bell on the big bagatelle
and you’ll make all the coloured lights cascade”.

“Roll up and spend your last dime!”
Roll up and spend your last,
roll up and spend your last,
roll up and spend your last dime!”

Doesn't it fill your heart with pride?

No, me neither.

Well there's one thing for sure you've actually got to qualify for the finals to be in with a shout, something that rarely happens in Jockland

You need to get out and about more.

what are we talking about here - the taxi thing?
I do get out alot but given I work I am not about during some days or weekends so where ever else this happens I dont know about it..
and given I live in accrington and work in burnley and have been to blackburn theres 3 towns I have never seen the taxi thing done in..

I am now curious to know where else in the uk this type of thing is done so over to you mr traveller..

see the thing is scotland know they are crap so dont need to be told about it - they also dont expect to qualify so when they dont it comes as no suprise anyone...gallant losers springs to mind..

unlike england who believe they have the right to be top of every group and qualify for every tourney because they once won the world cup way back in 66..
thats what makes it amusing when they get beat or so - its not because they are english its because they believe they are better than they really are..
p.s I aint a scotland fan by any stretch... I wised up to that in my early years

It's done in Manchester every Summer...the city's taxi drivers take the day off to take sick children to Blackpool for the day in a balloon decorated convey.

I was going to mention Manchester.

Also London, Brighton, and Penzance, that I know of.

Been done before in Accy, and even Ossy.
