I have to say that Glasgow, and Scotland in general, is populated by the nicest people (other than of you all, of course). My fruiter, for example. Theres a produce shop just down the street where I do a lot of shopping. The owner (I think he's the owner) will sometimes give me a few extras - nothing big, but if a banana has a wee bit too much black to sell, or something like that, he'll pop it in my bag. A few weeks ago a bartender gave me a hoodie and a zip drive - big logos of course, but I've never seen that happen in the states. He also told me about a bunch of places in Glasgow to visit, with interesting history, that mot people never see. Where the BBC campus is now is the sight of the first university (not sure if that's in the UK or the world) to graduate women doctors. Most of my friends have had similar experiences.
I booked a trip to Paris in November, pretty cheap. And I found £10 tickets to Bucharest, Vienna, Munich, Zurich, and a bunch of other places. We'll see where the wind takes me!

ReplyDeleteYou can also comment with 'Name/URL'. You don't have to give a URL. And I think you must have a Google account because you use Picasa Web Albums.
ReplyDeleteYou can't be a bastard. You have married parents, you twit. And remember, you are dealing with a computer nincompoop. I don't know what URL means so it scared me and I didn't try it, so there.
