Disqualified Oh no! Do you mean I don't win

If people in Finland are like this guy then I don't want to visit. It's never been on my bucket list anyway.

And that's videos called comedy, Scottish comedy, but comedy all the same. I found it hilarious!
Hey pal, my approximation of Weegie English is better then your approximation of Standard English. And it's not even my native tongue. You should be impressed.

Some things are so funny because they're so true.

Scotland is truly lovely, but anyone who says Glasgow is a place worth visiting is someone who overestimates the appeal of what little there is there to see. Ask anyone from beyond The Gorbals and I can honestly tell you there's nothing about Glasgow that makes it famous, aside from being the ideal location to film Trainspotting (Leith now has too many high end restaurants).

Oh don't take it so hard that someone doesn't see the charm in discarded needles and trees decorated with plastic bags. I'll most certainly be back in Scotland to spend my time in one of the many other fabulous places that aren't Glasgow.

Your a liar first of all. And you sound like a bitter nasty person, I am sure the good people of Glasgow won't lose sleep. Even with all the problems Glasgow has, predominantly confined to the housing estates, it still probably gets more visitors than every major city in Finland combined!

You should definitely calm down... That wasn't a personal attack against you, the citizens of Glasgow or Scots in general. He just said, that Glasgow isn't his cup of tea. And I'm sure a lot of people would agree. He even said, that he is really fond of other places in your country...

And with that statement about Finland you are just making yourself look stupid...

He is going out of his way to simply lie though, thats vile imo.

"see the charm in discarded needles and trees decorated with plastic bags"

"those whose idea of "culture" goes somewhat beyond dodging the remnants of someone's once-eaten curry on the sidewalk"

"the strewn rubbish, the junkies and scum that walk the streets even in the centre"

Glasgow is a very clean, where did he go in Glasgow? The Gorbals?

No, please don't come back. Not to any part of Scotland. Calling you vile was spot on!

I rarely see any litter in Glasgow city centre. Rarely see any neds either and have never seen anyone shooting up or puking on the sidewalk. Of course this vile Finnish person doesn't go to things like classical concerts, plays, ballet. He goes to the slums so he can complain about someone spilling his beer on him. Of course, that was probably while he was standing in a pub in the slums shouting about how disgusting Glasgow is.
