My train was delayed so I had to stand in said rain. When it arrived it was so old you and to pull the door open (those ones that you push the window down!) There was hardly any room and people were cramped.

I left my big brolly at work so my wee one blew inside out as I hit Jenners, my the time I got to work my trousers were soaked up to my knees.

Saving grace was I had a hat on so my hair was dry.

Later on in the afternoon the sun comes out.....WHAT!!!

I bought a new umbrella at the St James' centre. It didn't last halfway across North Bridge. That's, like, a few hundred metres! ¬_¬

Ok, it was from the pound shop, but still!

Scottish weather sucks. In 24 hours we had thunderstorms leading to power cuts, strong winds leading to things being in a completely different place in the morning, torrential rain, and sunshine.

One constant. It was always cold.
 
WAIT, walks from Anderston to Dennistoun?? What the hell!!?? They must LOVE walking in horrific weather.
I would so go for Chinese Buffet with you!! But I'm totally skint (poor)!! Which is crap, I don't like having no money.

Oooh, I'm going for Chinese on Saturday night for my Christmas work night out. But I seemed to have missed out on all the buying Christmas presents I should have done so I'm going to have to do it this weekend. God, the city centre is bad at this time of year...

See you want one of those big brollies that go further down. Like the solicitor or bank brollies. I have this funky red Abbey one that is smaller than big brollies but bigger than a normal brollie and it fairs better in the wind. Except the wind tunnel that is the entrance to the station and Hanover Street.

Another thing is people smacking me with their brollies...how they manage it I don't know as i'm small.

And why are you not taking free Gingerbread Lattes??? They are my fave!

The worst thing is, I do have a big umbrella! It even goes up by itself! Today is the ONE day that I forgot it!

Gingerbread lattés though? I tried one, and was all "OH MY GOD this is amazing". Then I took a couple more sips and it made me feel sick. WAY too sweet for me. 🙁

I had one they where amazing :D
Same here I left it in the office - they are no use in the office. Sadly I had to leg it tonight as Scotrail changed my train times and I know have 15 mins to get from half way a long Princes Street to the train station at that time of night so I left it at work again.

Are you putting sugar in it as then it is definately too sweet.
 
My friend visited Scotland on a vacation a few years back and described the populace as being largely round, red and full of cholesterol. Anyone care to confirm or deny this hateful rumor? 😀
 
Scotland would do well with some extra sunshine and heat, i think anyho. Ites all good but so cooold sometimes.

Your friend must have been in Aberdeen.. That's where it all starts to go wrong..

Everyone in Glasgow is sexy.
 
Ok. People. Yesterday's weather was bad, granted. But today? Wow. Princes Street was like the worlds biggest wind tunnel. And still one of my friends wanted to go on the big spinney seat ride. I need more sane friends.
 
You're in Scotland, no sane friends anywhere.

I just want to say *clears throat* I really *starts to cry* ..I really love you guys.
 
The wind was madness! I think it's been the first I'm I've actually been scared that I might get blown away walking up Argyle St.

It's too cold...I want snow!

It's really that bad? 🙁 I haven't been outside yet, but I've got to go into town to a Christmas night out on Hope Street.
 
I'm embarrased to say that i struggled to follow some of it and i'm Scottish but i live in Aberdeen. So our accents aren't as strong as those from Glasgow.

Scotland is totally the best place to be!!!
