Before this comment I thought you were just a bit confused, now I realise you have no idea what you’re on about. Scotland has its own government, health service, law and education system. It’s not simply a linguistic distinction, it’s a different country with differing customs, heritage, culture, history and…

Partying is the only game Scotland is good at. It would be a tough fight in the Ireland Vs Scotland drinking World Cup, but I think the mixed Irish/Scottish heritage of Glasgow would really swing things our way.*

I have to politely disagree with you. They may have a lot of money and be involved in diplomatic visits but they have no authority in regards to the rules and functions of government. In that way they’re more like a wealthy business than a government, and America has a lot of problems with powerful corporations and…

Absolutely none of this surprises me. Glasgow is a wonderful, weird, fucked up, sometimes terrifying, sometimes brilliant, place.

Glasgow resident here. A man buzzed our flat at 1am, holding a plant pot. He put the plant pot down - an offering, if you will - moved on to the next flat and buzzed them instead. Made his way down the whole street doing the same. Found the plant pot the next day, sitting outside our door, dead plant inside.

Your lack of understanding of the U.K. Government disturbs me. The monarchy is essentially ceremonial only; they’re only good for selling magazines, attracting tourists and keeping middle-class English royalists and northern Irish fanatics happy in their flag-waving, tea party fantasy land.

Glasgow!

This should be titled ‘The UK has a serious fucking problem with alcohol’, and I should know - Glasgow is one of the worst.

I have heard people call it Pradamark but that's a new one to me,

Kind of. I wouldn’t buy a winter coat or anything in there but their PJ’s, basics, comfy stuff are all not bad. The guys stuff is definitely better. I bought a £5 oversized comfy jumper three years ago and it’s still In good shape and any female equivalent would’ve shrunk in the wash or develop weird bobbles within…

Disclaimer: I was raised a Roman Catholic but I’ve been atheist since my teens.

As an ex-waitress and one of your good friends in Europe, I feel like I should probably address the idea that tipping isn’t done here. Tipping is definitely done in the UK but in a different way - you’re tipping for good service, not because it is expected of you because the wages are horrifically low. Don’t get me…

“It wasn’t me, it was my alter ego!”

I totally agree with this too. I’ve not been enjoying Jezebel as much lately because it seems like they have a total vendetta against certain women and it’s starting to resemble gossip mags a little with all the bitchiness.

I hate to tell you this but most Scottish men don't look like these guys. There's a lot more Calvin Harris pre-makeover types than there is James MacAvoys. Except my husband obviously, he's MacAvoy as fuck.

I’m with you. He’s harmless and kind of adorable and I even like his bad tattoos and wayward hair. #weaknessformessygingers

This. A million times this. Six weeks and counting and I swear to god if ONE MORE PERSON tells me I should ‘do it my way’, before proceeding to tell me how to do something, I will run away for every and develop a twitch whenever anyone says the W word.
