"I saw Franz Ferdinand today"

In Virgin Megastore in Glasgow

It was cool, they were leaving and I got in the singers way... I said sorry and he said alright.

My claim to fame wooo

I have mates in Linvingston. And a mate who used to live in Gartcosh.

Edinburgh was rated slightly better than Glasgow overall the past couple of years, but the nightlife is nothing in comparison. Nor is the shopping or music scene or anything much of interest to me.

As a Computer Science graduate from Glasgow, I can assure you, the vast majority of jobs are nothing like working in a PC shop (probably for little pay and a boss you hate, yes?). They did a really good course, very good with the programming and design elements in particular (one of the current professors moonlights for NASA finding all their bugs). Currently they are pioneering true 3D movies, i.e. ones that you can watch from any angle.

Moodiesburn, Gartcosh, Muirhead, and some further east - Blairingone, and Livingston, which isn't really a village. I'm actually looking at Japanese and Oriental Studies at the moment, 18 months working in a PC shop has convinced me beyond all reasonable doubt that I can't possibly stand to follow a career in computing. Mainly looking at courses in Edinburgh at the moment, but nothing firm decided yet at all.

Paisley drags the west of Scotland down a bit. Ach, I suppose some of it is not too bad, but seriously some parts of it have the worst people you can imagine.

But Glasgow is top notch.

Glasgow is top. I was in Paisley for a while staying with a mate and we had a great time.

What villages?

Well Glasgow Uni got rated 5 star for Computer Science which I'm guessing is one of the things you would be interested in. It has another 20 international excellents as well for that matter.

And more importantly, 2 unions. Great nightlife, if that is the sort of thing you are into.

Mm, I'm an Essex person myself, I know the problems of burberry all too well. I'm 1/4 Scottish, but it seems like a good 3/4 of my family is up there, mostly scattered in little villages between Glasgow and Edinburgh. I stay with an aunt just outside Glasgow when I go up there, but I haven't done so for a good year or so now. Looking at going to uni in Scotland though, so I'll have to make a visit oop naarth some time..

And it is indeed a fantastic album, found a full track listing:

Managed to dig it out too, superb :D

Haha. What an album that would be.

Do you have family up here or something?

The only problem with Sauchiehall St now is that it is getting filled with too many commoners, they used to stay down on Argyle St. There's only so much Burberry and Nike I can handle.

I always wondered how you spell sockyhall street. And now I know. Blimey, I haven't been up there for ages...though, I do recall buying a football anthems CD last time I was in music zone in a sale there, with classics like Wooly Bully, The Andy Cole song and Super Marco Van Basten

Suuuper Maaarco man in the skyy!
Suuuper Maaarco what a guy!

I wonder what happened to that.

*yes

They were playing a free gig

I haven't bought the album yet... and eys I am a frequent visitor to Music Zone and Fopp
