The those wondering, as I did, what a "Glasgow device" is, it's not a broken bottle wielded by a strung-out heroin addict.

You know there are people who live in Glasgow that frequent these forums that tire of these stereotyped attitudes to their city.

I lived in Glasgow for >20 years and I never saw anyone as "strung out" as the people I saw wondering around Market St in San Francisco.

I have lived in Glasgow for 32 of my 35 years and if you've not seen anyone 'strung out' here I'd be genuinely shocked as it's a multiple time a day thing (even if you live in the West End or other nice areas).

I identify as a west end wanker. I'm yet to see someone strung out on the streets.

Did you move there a few days ago?

[scholaronroad]

4 years ago.

I am of course cracking a joke about the movie Trainspotting.

A film / book famously not set in Glasgow

[orangewindies]

Although a lot of it was filmed in Glasgow.

>The film follows a group of heroin addicts in an economically depressed area of Edinburgh and their passage through life

Glasgow is lovely, people are cunts.
