The completele opposite of my experience of both cities. Strange.

How odd. I'm hoping that my opinion will be changed this weekend. And I will avoid the 'Bannockburn fixated pub' near the Castle where I genuinely thought I was going to be glassed.

To be persuaded that Edinburgh is not a dour, granite city with largely unwelcoming inhabitants that hate the English and are fixated by Bannockburn.

Seriously my last trip there in winter was not a good experience. Rather be going to Glasgow.

Not the experience I had, but then I suppose it depends on how you conduct yourself.

Great folk, the Scots.

Well I don't believe I conducted myself poorly if that is your inference. I think I chose a rough pub by accident.

If both Northampton and Leeds can win their game, with Carlisle beating Millwall, meaning Leeds will finish 4th and Northampton survive relegation. I don't care if it's impossible for that to happen.

Back that up with a win Warrington tomorrow and a new job early next week so I can move into my new gaff.

That'd pretty much do me

Well Leeds got 4th place at least, shame about the Cobblers

Glasgow is OK. Very up and down however. Torrance is nice. Likewise the people.

I went to Glasgow as a teenager to watch a Big Country gig. Some seriously scary looking blokes in the crowd but it was the most atmospheric live performance I've ever seen, for those couple of hours I wanted to be Scottish.
