Funny Glasgow Burds
Posted by John & Dawn Roddick on November 17, 2006 at 7:45 pmHad to share this story. I was in a bed and bedding shop earlier this week, which had 2 "shell suit brigade" birds walking around. They were looking at a bed and one said to the other (you need to do this with good old Glasgow accent):-
"That bed’s no as good as mine – mines is pure quality man. It cost me a grand cos its wan o they fox leather beds"At this point, I’m wondering – how the hell do you get leather from a fox.
Her pal was obviously a bit confused too."what’s a fox leather bed, says she. Her pal replies "wan that looks like its made fae real leather".
I was laughing like mad inside but I had to make sure I didn’t get caught as they looked a bit mental.

At the Military Tattoo one year I had the distinct pleasure of being seated in front of one of these particular birds.
My ears smarted for a week afterwards from her tune!

PS
People here say "fox" too!
I usually blame it on inbreeding. -
Have to say, you looked lovely in your shell suits Nik and Marcella

A faux? Isn’t that a deer? A female deer?
I had a manager once who always tried to use big words but always got them wrong. Once he asked me to do some demos at the "Sign Expedition". 😕

I looked a right twat turning up at the NEC wearing hiking boots and carrying a rucksack.
Peter, when it comes to the Sound of Music I am selectively deaf.

Knowing Andy, he would have been wearing "Lederhosen" just for a larf :lol1: :lol1:

My mum and dad had a neighbour many years ago, who told her friend that in order to get extra benefits from the DSS, just tell them that her husband was impotent, so they needed extra money as they had to wash the bed sheets all the time! I think she meant incontinent.
