sure there were shops, and a rather cool water fountian thing that childeren were playing in...
but not much other than that.

Dr Anthea

Congratulations Dr. Anthea.

You prefer Glasgow to Manchester???

Heathen!

I prefer glasgow to manchester

Then you've been looking in all the wrong places. I mean, how can you judge Manchester when it's not even raining??

I don't think I've ever been in manchester when it wasn't raining

I have to rack my brains, and I lived in the place 19 years straight.

But whats in Glasgow? I mean, apart from a few shops probably in a central location.

Manchester sprawls - I've lived within 30mins of manchester all my life, and I still find new places and streets and shops (monday - the back enterance to the AMC, strange route).

Glasgow better? Pfft! Doesnt even have proper rain there.

Antheano other words needed, just

Mancs Vs. Scots... ooh it's a hard choice to decide who's worse to-- I mean best to be around... *cough*

I've been to Glasgow three times. First time (for Scotland vs England) someone in a skirt and ginger wig tried to smash my head into the urinal in a men's room in a pub. Second (for Leeds vs Rangers) time all anyone seemed to go on about was this secterian nonsense and religion. Third time (for a gig) the Manics didn't do an encore. Cheap arse gits.

Hardly endears you to the populace, or the Welsh music scene, does it?

So what did you do to have a womanwant to attack you in a men's utility room?



Don't bother collecting badges Anth, as long as she's here it's all inconsequential to the power of Mort.

We were up there for a game, got talking to some Scottish lads outside the ground a few hours before kick off and they invited us for a drink. We had a laugh with them and the majority of the pub until I needed to go for a slash.

I'm stood there doing my business and some jock tosser in a skirt comes up going 'Yah fookin' Angleesh cahnt, I'm gonna rip yer heed off' or some such drivel and dinked my head off the wall. Luckily my Uncle came in after me (I was only 14 at the time) and chinned him.

Ah, a celtic fan, and one of the more educated ones by the sound of it

Don't you just love football fans. Celtic fans assume that if you're English, you're a protestant (I'm not bloody religious).

Worst one I had was England vs Holland at Villa Park. Drawing, boring match, so I chanted 'Attack, attac, attack attack attack' like we do at Leeds. Some tit in front of me goes 'don't you mean attack Iraq lad?' 'No, I don't agree with the war in Iraq.' 'What the f*ck you doing here then you scumbag?' Nice bloke.

Anyway, let's not be distracted from the point that Manchester's bloody brilliant.
