Try living in Cumbernauld, Paisley or some of the more deprived areas of Glasgow and then tell me it's better than Aberdeen.

Folk here don't know how lucky they are in many respects.

Having been there two or three times, I have to say that Paisley is not a very nice place at all.

Being from Glasgow... I am fully aware of how shit certain regions of it are... however, it pisses me off when people generalise it... there are some beautiful parts of Glasgow....whilst in the same breath there are particularly shitty bits.

Here's some photos of where I grew up...









(alright... that was taken in 1955)



(and so was that.... but to be honest it hasn't changed that much)

see.... perfectly nice... and aberdeen also has some really nice bits too.

It's the same for all the larger cities... there are good bits... and bad bits...

I'd probably put the rubbish bits of london down as the worst place to live.

hence why i said 'some of the more deprived areas' I know Glasgow has some very very nice bits

I adore Glasgow, I am hoping to move there later on in life, its Edinburgh I cannot stand. I lived there for a year and its a fucking hole. The people there were very unfriendly and the city just stank.

Stirling is a fucking pit that needs filling drastically, I will never ever move back there unless I really have to.
The place is so blinkered its pathetic. All the decent people left!

I love Aberdeen, I think this is where I will stay the rest of my life (if I don't get to Glasgow) the people here are ace, the night life is brilliant and its not too expensive.

I agree with Hull.

I think you're forgetting there's also parts of Belfast that you wouldn't go into because they are full of republican nutters ie. Falls Road and Short Strand.

ive been to paisley a few times. i had one of my uni classes there. and it was alright. just being in the city centre.

we never came across any trouble.
and i know some decent people from there who dont hate it that much

The Paddingtons come from hull. Can't be that bad.

I went to falkirk once, its shit.

Actually, Ayr and Stranraer. Both are fucking awful, Ayr is totally full of ugly, Burberry-clad, triple-buggy wielding scum. Stranraer is full of loud-mouth, alcoholic Irish bastards who you have to spent the next 2 hours with on the ferry across to Belfast. The sort of people that are incapable of having a conversation without saying 'fuckin' every 3 words and shout when they speak to their friends.
