Talk:Glasgow

From Conservapedia

A new user's first entry:

Because of its pre-eminent position in Scotland. many expatriate Scots claim to hail from Glasgow's precincts. Upon rudimentary investigation, however, the self-styled "Glaswegian" is frequently discovered to hail from areas outwith the city, but near enough to cause confusion in the unwary, such as Lenzie. for example.

Dunno if this is important enough to mention - it's more than half the article. --Ed Poor 23:09, 2 April 2007 (EDT)

To Ulysses54 - Thank you very much for all the excellent contributions you have made to the page I started in a small way about my home city. There's just two things I wanted to query in your latest batch of updates. 1, Are you sure Alan Cumming is from Glasgow; I thought he was from Dundee as I knew someone who worked with him at DC Thomsons, and 2, are you sure Sydney Devine is famous. I knew he's slaughtered the odd tune here and there but is he actually famous for that?

Anyway these are small points of detail in a set of superb contributions. --Commandment9 17:12, 25 April 2007 (EDT)

Would just like to point out the following is utter bollocks :-

At these games an inter-denominational service precedes the game at which one set of supporters sings songs to the other. When matches are played at Ibrox Park (the home of Rangers) the service is usually conducted by the Catholic Archbishop of Glasgow, whereas at matches played at Celtic Park services have been led by leading clergy from various Protestant denominations. On March 10th 2007 the service at Celtic Park was led by the Rev Dr Ian Paisley, Moderator of the Free Presbyterian Church of Ireland and First Minister of Northern Ireland. These events have helped boost inter-faith relations and help give Glasgow its slogan - The Friendly City.[3]

No such services take place whatsoever...

A local custom in Glasgow is the traditional greeting of visitors from afar with a 'Glasgow Kiss'. This is not a kiss at all, and is totally non-sexual in nature. It involves the rubbing of foreheads in a vigorous yet friendly manner. Whether or not the action originates from a desired 'meeting of minds' is unclear but its effect is to initiate the stranger into the social group.

The Glasgow Kiss is a headbut.

Although highly amusing I grant you.
