*lol!!!*

Er... course not. I mean, you cant have endless sex, can you?

I just read this article - and if the guy who wrote it is to be believed, then no man should ever set foot in this city...

"Late at night a young man walks home through the mean streets of Glasgow. As he approaches a corner, he hears the buzz of a surveillance camera as it turns to face him. Then suddenly there is a screech of tyres and the sound of footsteps. He begins to run, but a hand grips his shoulder. 'Right, ye wee bastard - in the back of the van.' The young man breathes a sigh of relief as he realises that he is being arrested. 'Thank God', he exclaims to a burly policeman, 'I thought I was gonna be chibbed!'.

Glasgow is known as 'knife city'. The current version of this urban myth is that the city is blighted by knife-wielding 15-year olds - 'neds' - intoxicated on Buckfast tonic wine and ready to rumble. Innocent citizens may be attacked at random and scarred for life. The panic about neds echoes the scare stories about razor gangs in the fifties and sixties. Like then, the hype far exceeds the facts. But this time around, more people are ready to believe it. The idea that the police are there to protect us is gaining credibility even among young people who would previously have rejected it."

Hmmm... s'not the glasgow I know!
