Heading back a lassie high as a kite approached me and the conversation went something like this. Her: They "pakis" are watching me. But a need the £2. Me: (Not wanting to be rude and just walk away) Where you going pal? Her: A need the shop but I've nae money. Can you gimme £2? Me: I don't carry cash pal, I only use my phone for contactless. Her: Well can you get me summit fae the shop wae contactless? Racism, a first hand view of the country's drug problem and quick-witted comedy all in one interaction. People make Glasgow Boot. Pie. Sorted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Was out running yesterday and blistered a very sensitive area. Went to shop and decided antiseptic Savlon was the way to go. Applied liberally then had a lie down. Woke up in agony half an hour later. Felt like I’d been shot between my balls and my arse. Turned out antiseptic wasn’t a good plan. Was in tears with pain and missus just laughed at me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've learnt my lesson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
