Glasgows a rough town.

[BruSan]

An sure'n you've never been blessed with the Glaswegian kiss then?

Many's the poor lad who got into a slanging match with a Glasgow boyo and got a nut to the honker for his trouble.

While playing Rugger with those lads in the Canadian Navy and getting into field scraps I learned the hard way not to let my nose get in the way of their foreheads.

They also taught me to watch my shins in the scrum. Either that or get a change ends transfusion.

The beer drinking after a game with them assumed stupendous proportions regardless of win or lose.

Loved those guys!

As Frankie Boyle once said 'Glasgow is the only town in the world where somebody will punch a man who is already on fire!'

Sounds like a city that still knows how to settle arguments like men: with fists, feet, foreheads (and the occasional knife)... in US cities we settle arguments like boys, with guns.
