hiya!

well yeah i have.

oh no i don't remember you telling me that. God what is it about Glasgow? I have a friend who is Scottish but lives in Spain most of the time. Anyway he brought some of his Spanish friends here to Glasgow last year and now he's heading back to Spain for good naturally he wants them to go back with him... they won't leave! They' l've got themselves established and they love Scotland so much!lol

My uncle is from Dundee, he married my Aunt form here. Then because of his job (BP) they moved to Norway for a few years, but they live in Glasgow now.

I think its the party type place that it is, i was very impressed with my recent trip over as you know. Belfast is crap for cheap drink, and it doesnt really have a heart. Most clubs and bars are spread all over town. So the town is always empty looking and dodgy. There is Shaftsbury square, but its like a riot zone every weekend, cant get a taxi, and full of silly drunk people.

When i used to put up posters, i found myself in the area 100% sober (just smoking ) at like 1:30am and all, its only when sober you realise how mad it is, you wonna see the state of some of the girls, i dont know how they get home in one piece.

hiya!

ah i see... that's nice.

oh i'd love to go to Ireland. I don't know where in Ireland but since i've never been im not that fussy!

soooo you think Irish girls are bad?! Hehe you WERE in Glasgow on a Saturday night weren't you?! Gosh the the Glaswegian girls cause riots everywhere! it's not too funny in reality... it's rather embarrassing and intensely sad.

Would you consider yourself to be a typical Glasgow girl then?
M
ost of the girls i meet wernt from Glasgow, except that crazy girl that we where staying with, she was just mad.

I think youd like Ireland, its dead on,

most people tend to just have a laugh and enjoy themselves.
I think its very similar to Scotland in many ways, one thing for sure is you'll love our weather

hi!

well no not really. I sound like one but i certainly don't act like one!

yeah well the countries are closely linked. It's no surprise that when it comes to football the Scots are always cheering on the Irish(they can't cheer on the Scots because they never bloody qualify!)

why is your weather good?

Claire

No our weather is just as bad as yours, only sometimes its slightly better

hi!

ah okay, that makes more sense.

soooo... you been watching Euro 2004?

Claire

Of course!

Im supporting Sweden, so im happy enough at the mo,

Though im getting a bit sick of the papers and TV coverage of England, i was beginning to think that all the other teams had been chucked out!

hI!

yeah i've been watchin too and im also sick of the commentators/media idia in general. Eugh. If i hear any of the other players compared to Wayne Rooney one more time i will scream! The only thing which keeps me sane is the comfort i get from seeing how ugly the Englishmen in the crowd are! hehe

poor Spain though, poor Italy.

Yup Sweden all the way! Go Larsson!

Yeah, your right, wayne this wayne that, we know hes good but they just keep building him up, could be a big fall?

What about the fact that before during and after every match all we here about is England?!?

"Give me joy in my heart give me Larsson"

hi!

yeah some have also been comparing him to Gazza and how fame at an early age caused him major problems. Then again Michael Owen used to be the wonder kid and he hasn't went off the rails. Good luck to Rooney i guess... well actually nah with all that money i don't feel too sorry for him!

hehe you had me laughing there!

Give me joy in my heart i pray

dear god we used to sing that at school... you have me singing it noo!lol

Claire

yeah we used to sing it in school too,
Loads of wee mad songs like that,

Its the same as you are my sunshine

hi!

well i haven't heard that one you just quoted. All we ever sang was hymns... oh and "Bananas In Pyjamas". hehe

How did the rest of that hymn go? Give me joy in my heart... what comes after that?! I've been debating with my mum all mornng... we canny remember.

Claire

you do know it..

you are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy, when skies are grey

hmmmmm the rest of that song?

give me joy in my heart, keep me happy,
give me joy in my heart i pray,
give me joy in my heart keep me happy,
keep me happy til the end of the day,
sing hosana...........

Its something along them lines

Bananas in PJ's

hi!
right first things first... England Are Out!!!!!!... i feel the urge to hug a Portuguese person... looks around* ... still... yaay!

it's not "keep me happy"!lol is it not "keep me resting"? that actually sounds even more stupid!:0

oh bloody hell... im watching the commentators the noo and they are making so many excuses (for England's failure. surprise surprise). They're even going on about how the penalty spot wasn't even... Portugal took their penalties from there too!!!! Blimmin heck. Oh God and because Rooney had to go off injured, and now they're blaming Beckham for giving a bad performance, and also because a few Portuguese players hesitated when taking penalties... and that disallowed goal! Stop complaining!

phew... *calms down*

in all honesty i think England played well... but the best team won.

now they're saying "Oh but Portugal aren't good enough to win"... well England must be rubbish then... hehe

hmmm thats sorts that mystery out then,
Your mum may have a run of bad luck now after that "borrow"

Yeah its great im so glad they are out, was really doing my haed in. They were very unlucky but sure what comes around..............

This is my last day in work, so my replys may be more scarce, but dont give up

good luck

hi there!

hehe yeah karma might come back to bite her. hehe.

och but Sweden are out too now. I watched that match in an Irish bar and no-one was pleased at all. They were all going crazy! I probably would have been the same if it wasn't for the fact i was rather taken with my Jack Daniels.:

Ah that's a shame. So have you any plans to come back to Glasgow or Scotland?

hows your weather in Ireland just now? It's really schitzophroenic just now.
