Banter police mate - I think you might find - that is 'nay socks' or 'nae' - better - nante. Perhaps I can interest you in my online course - "How to fuckin' speak Glaswegian?' - and not get battered in the process. You'll be fluent in a matter of weeks. Just don't say 'ball bag' instead of 'baw bag'- starter for ten. 'Total fanny - yer gieing it that' - no danger - to quote Gerry Cinnamon - c**t may no be a put down - it entirely depends on the inflection.

I've got a mate who's a shaman, gets anything you want in no time
A weekend at Bernie's is a few days without any sunshine
I know a right dour-faced bastard
A really nice guy but he hates life
He's got sarcastic eyeballs
And a tongue that can slash like a lock-knife

These faces I've know growing up on the streets in the Southside
From the hills of the 'milk to the parade in the east end
I remember the change
In the accents on the Westside
Making money 'til there's no time left to spend
It's all bullshit but we all still pretend

When I was a wean, i used to sell puff to make money
But we'd smoke all the profit and by Friday it was no longer funny
I know a guy who's a lightweight, one or two jars and he's buckled
He's the guy that loses keys has to break into his ain house and gets huckled

These faces I've known
Growing up on the streets in the Southside
From the swords in the schemes
To the art-school dreams of the town
And when I lie awake in the night time
These things I remember
Some happy, some sad
Bring a smile to my face when I'm down
In the Priory or in Sinbad's in Dunoon

I've been all round the world, but there's nowhere compares to my home-town
The mayhem of Glasgow is buried deep in my blood
And there's no other place where 'a cunt' might not be a put down
It's thirteen degrees and there's folk in the street in the scud

No' the best place but there's diamonds in the mud
No' the best place but there's diamonds in the mud
No' the best place but there's diamonds


Ha ha - I.

I think I get the gist. And the gist is, 'Just don't bother with the Scottish accent you ignorant twat'.

I consider myself expelled from the 'Learn Glaswegian in a week' class

Not at all - I can take little pride from being Glaswegian - other than the fact we can swear better than anyone - possibly - with the exception of Australians - they are really good at it. 'Fair suck of the Sav?' - to quote. Do sign up for the lessons - ya fud - your life will be enriched - c**t - baw bag - English fanny - a whole world of expletives awaits you... the correct use of 'amurney' - ha ha ha - I.

After a run of Shaves with The Hawk V3-A plate I had one with the OC version. A very nice close Shave was attained without any hassle, but I think on balance the A plate suits me better, as a Daily Shaver it delivers a slightly more relaxed Shave.

3 very comfortable passes for a BBS finish, a nice slick lather from the ever reliable Tabac. a nice post shave leaving me clean, supple and smelling very 70's.
Another plus, after a bit of email tennis, about the cosmetic issue with the Rockwell Model T door closing, Rockwell saw it in their hearts to send me a new FOC razor which turned up today. Now that is what i call fantastic customer service. The issue does not affect the shave or Razor in any way it just niggled me when looking at it.
WELL DONE ROCKWELL

Blade Tiger Platinum 7th
Post & Aftershave
Ice Water + Special Thayers Mix
Hyaluronic Acid
Clubman WhiskyWood
Top quality lather from Tabac! Load directly from tub then face lather with my best synthetic brush. Super thick, creamy and slick. Shave with razor paired with blade was excellent! So smooth and so comfortable. Eventhough can feel the sharpness is less, the shave was very pleasant. 3+1 multiple passes with no weepers nor irritation and resulted in a very close shave even at trouble area. Icy cold water rinse followed by Thayers and Hyaluronic then WhiskyWood. BBS with rating 9.8/10. Feels so good!
