Your welcome 😉

I'm from neither Edinburgh or Glasgow, but Fife. I detest it with a passion, more so the people the hills I like. I prefer to class myself as being part of Edinburgh as thankfully I dropped the Fife accent, lived in Edinburgh for several years before London, went to Uni in Edinburgh, currently work in Edinburgh and am moving back to Edinburgh.

Glasgow reminds me too much of London (right in the city), then there was the mugging experience. The last time I was in Glasgow was for a work meeting and it was in and out, before that it was for a Buffy Con years and years and years ago.

There is only one thing I hate about Edinburgh and that is the tourists that lurk around the train station when i'm trying to get in, yes I have tourist rage and no i'm not afraid to hit you with my paper.

This should be neg rep. Nothing wrong with Fife people or the accent. It's easily the best place in Scotland.
Aww, how cute, CotA's too scared of Boss Lady Faith to give her neg-rep. See, the people from Fife are big softies at heart. Behind a thick...thick......thick exterior.

Oh, but if I see a crazy lady battering the poor tourists with her paper at the station I'll be sure to a) avoid her, and b) take photos for the picture thread.

I'm not scared of her!....just, please don't tell her i said that, please.
You can negative rep me if you like - rep doesn't bother me, besides it is for agreeing/disagreeing. They are not all bad, I do have several good friends from Fife that I have worked with. I am from a small village, originally one of the mining communities and I just find most (that I have come across in my years) to be close minded and i've not had much in common with them. I'm more a city girl at heart, but I do like a bit of the green which is why I like Edinburgh. It is close for me to get back and see my family but far enough for me to have my life in the city.

That is why it is called an opinion, it may be right it may be wrong but it is all mine 😉

Linds - A few of us actually play 'tourist rage' at festival time, different points for different nationalities. Although I am nice to some tourists, just the other day I helped a nice old Spanish lady i'm my broken but still learning Spanish.

Also it is true what Mike Myers wrote in 'So I Married An Axe Murderer' - does not matter what the newspaper is called it is always 'the paper'.
 
I lovee Mike Myers in So I Married An Axe Murderer!

He's so good at Scottish accents.
 
The whole 'heid' thing totally cracks me up, even now it never fails to amuse.

I'd also like to point out that while i'm not a fan of Glasgow the city I do like the people (discounting that man that mugged me).

You're from Fife!?!

I've seen you around various boards for getting on nine years and I thought you were from Edinburgh.

Isn't Fife where Rebus comes from?
Doesn't he live in Edinburgh?
Are you Rebus?

When the boards first started I was in Edinburgh. I am not Rebus sadly but I do live near to where he is from and I work near the Oxford, although i've not been in yet but it is tempting.

You don't really see that many teuchters in Scottish tv shows though. The really big shows like Taggart and Still Game are all in Glasgow. And that's all about murderers or neds, haha.

i know~!!~! there should be more teuchters! haha
On the X Factor, the weirdest ones are always usually from Scotland! Well, the greater amount of weird ones 😛
Plus, they're usually always ginger, which to be fair doesn't help the stereotype!! 😛
But Glasgow is just bursting with weirdos anyway (sw)

And Faith! I may PM you about Edinburgh uni at some point! That's where i really want to go study!!
I don't want to stay in Aberdeen to study! Although it's a nice place, i want to move away from the folks!
